What an unbelievable story. Roy Keane was sent home from the World Cup yesterday after giving Ireland coach Mick McCarthy an eight-minute verbal spray about a whole series of things - poor training facilities, poor organization, uncommitted teammates, etc. Apparently he just snapped and did it in front of the team and everyone. Obviously McCarthy had no choice after Keane's public brain explosion and sent him packing.

I understand and appreciate that some of his concerns were quite valid, but was that the way to resolve the issues? I think he's let his team and his country down, which is disgraceful. But the Irish always have a lot of craic - they'll bounce back.
