Done apparently then more or less according to some Irish F.A bloke. Should be interesting.

I'm just interested to see how he get's on with Roy Keane. It's not me who tweets Pat murphy about him.

I think it's a recipe for disaster. Brilliant.

I can understand why they want O'Neil. The Roy Keane appointment is a bit baffling though.

Hey will be all lovey dovey tonight but sparks will soon fly - clough could handle Keane but our martin as we well know is no cloughie :)

Clash of ego's and it will be explosive - fireworks indeed .

Well since they both have form for flouncing off at the most inopportune of times, I am sure they're well suited to one another. 

I predict that Keane will grow to hate being number two and will be back in club management/full time media work before the Irish fail to qualify for the next Euros.  MON will probably hang on in there. This is his last gig.

Actually, I'm going to stop being bitter about the past. I wish the Judas pube-headed dwarf all the best in his new job.

I personally think mon will do well with them, he's better suited to international management than the club game.  No wages or transfer fees to worry about, no long term fitness training requirements, just get a bunch of players together for a few weeks of the year and get them motivated to play for each other.  His tactics are simple enough to get across in that situation as well.  They won't win anything but then would any manager get them to?  They may well qualify for the euros though.

To be honest, I hope he does. I don't mind seeing Ireland do well.

I don't like that wasteful tosspot very much, either.
