Since the civil war

"most dramatic ideological split the country had seen since the Irish Civil War" - this sounds like an exaggeration, to put it mildly. How big was it really? Some more stuff in the article (quotes etc) would be great. CTOAGN 10:24, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

It was even claimed by some to be the most dramatic ideological split the country had seen since the Irish Civil War.
This is the greatest load of nonsense I have ever read on Wikipedia. What sort of fact is this ? PalX 08:36, 30 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
The article never said that it was the most dramatic split; merely that it was claimed by some to be. And by some, I mean both the Irish Independent and the Irish Times sports sections, the two most respected papers in the country. NaLaochra 18:37, 22 January 2006 (UTC) [reply]

with one half of the nation standing by Roy Keane and the other half supporting Mick McCarthy.

and another half of the nation who couldn't give a toss about the antics of two overpaid prima donnas

who wrote this stuff ?PalX 11:36, 30 September 2005 (UTC) [reply]

If you are really so indifferent about football to the extent where you think that the Saipan Incident wasn't a major event in Irish current affairs - despite the fact that the Taoiseach himself intervened - then you clearly aren't in a position to be judging the merits of a football-related article.NaLaochra 18:38, 22 January 2006 (UTC) [reply]

Linking years

What's the deal with them? Seeing as they don't serve much of a purpose on a page about a football club? kelvinhole

Haaland tackle

'when a cynical tackle by Haaland left the Irishman with cruciate ligament damage'

This is wrong. Keane fouled Haaland and damaged his cruciate.

It is partially correct. Haaland was involved in a challenge with Keane in the 1997/98 season that resuled in cruciate ligaments that kept him out for the year. Keane then repaid the favour.

Haha... "repaid the favour"... well put!! He sure did! NaLaochra 01:50, 27 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

He didn't repay the favour, he fouled Haaland. Actually he basically assaulted Haaland.

Actually, tackles (even fouls) are not considered assault unless they go completely outside what could be anticipated. Bad tackles that cause cruciate ligament damage are entirely forseeable. Cynical 22:42, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
