Due to Irelan's surprising progress in the World Cup so far, we all seem to have forgotten about that one man who flooded that back pages for a while with stories and rumours surrounding the problems he was creating in Ireland's World Cup camp.
Somehow, without their formerly-respected captain and tough central midfielder, those little green guys from the west of Great Britain have made it have fought through the Group Stages and into the 2nd Round.
If you say the name 'Roy' to an Irishman then you'll probably get one of 2 different responses now.
Here's the first:
The man will freeze as he draws a large bottle of whiskey (or "drink" as he'll call it) in a brown paper bag from the deep pockets of his big, brown coat. Next will come the shouting: "Roy??? Roy!!?? ROY FECKIN' KEANE!!!" followed by a nice big "AR5E!!!" and "FECK OFF SATAN!!" as that big dark bottle is removed from the paper bag and you soon wake up to realise you don't know where you are - and it's not just because you've taken a trip to Ireland!
And the second response:
When you simply say to this man the word "Roy" he will simply reply with "Roy who?? My name's Paddy." You can try and remind him by saying "You know, Roy Keane! The guy who almost destroyed your World Cup dreams!" But he will porbably only reply with "Oh him. Ah, so what! I've got me drink now, and we've got Robbie now!" So as you can see, this is the type of rare Irishman who can remain calm when he here's the name "Roy Keane". Hmmmmmm..... must not be a drinker - another rarity in Ireland!
But be warned - if you pester one of these guys too much, and try too hard to make him remember, he will just get plainly annoyed with you - and bottles will fly!!
Let that be a lesson to you - Irishmen are dangerous, and a simple name like 'Roy Keane' can trigger off all the bad thoughts and unleash drunken anger and violence on you!
It's more likely this'll happen if you say "Roy" if not the full-name.
If you only say "Keane" or "Keano" then you may be lucky as Robbie Keane is the only Keane in every Irishman's mind right now.
If one Irishman does begin to consult you in a rage, then the best thing to do is to either offer to by him a drink (something nice and strong) or starting chanting "Robbie Keane Robbie Keane Robbie Keane!!"
So remember, the Irish are dangerous under the influence of alchohol and Roy Keane! If they get knocked out of the World Cup very soon, then i'm sure the name will come back to them, and Japan and South Korea will be no more!
Either way, it seems that we have all forgotten about the Roy Keane of only 2 or 3 weeks ago!
And we owe it all to Robbie Keane and the Republic of Ireland - for their great performances this summer with their former captain, which has shown they are NOT the one-man-team many had previously though they were, and that they can still do very well indeed without the hot-heads and prima-donas who are ruining Football as we know it!
Well done to Ireland - good has overcome evil! :)
