    The ref's decision is final, apparently....
    Correct - nothing will change and lessons wont be learnt from this. It was tough luck but they need to get over it

      I'm no friend of the FAI, but Roy Keane is trying to divert attention from the 2002 world cup when he throw the rattley out of the pram and split the team on the run up to the spain game, which was lost on penalties. It was the easiest to win world cup ever. He will never be forgiven for that.

        On the contrary, Keane left the squad before the world cup even started.

        Ireland were inspired without him, qualified undefeated from a group including Cameroon and eventual finalists Germany, and did well to hold Spain to 1-1.

        In the interview, Keane wasn't diverting attention, he has still got the hump over the poor management of the FAI, the poor training facilities they provided for the squad, and especially how they flew first class and the players cattle class.

          Keane tells it like it is. Gotta love that.

          Surely now though video evidence must come into play. Forget all this preciousness about the game, stop living in the past and use technology like every other sport on the planet!

            It's the only way.

            Every other game is affected by key refereeing mistakes, whether it is diving, handball or offside. Refs need help.

            Millions of people are able to watch an immediate replay of incidents.

            So why perpetuate a system where the only three people in the world not allowed to use this evidence are the very people who actually make the decisions.

            It is laughable, and stupid, especially when you consider what is often at stake. Imagine that principle being applied in other walks of life.
