Are the Hunt Brothers Insane?


Noel Hunt trying to get in on the action.


Is Noel Hunt out of his mind or what? I mean, fair enough the pictures on the night were inconclusive although Robbie Keane's celebration suggested that he was the man who took the chance. The pictures on RTE put the matter to bed.


Here is the link to the RTE report:

By the looks of it, Noel got nowhere near the ball. It is absolutely outrageous that he would later try to claim it. Meanwhile, Stephen tries to tell us that he can't remember any of the first half and that he only found out Ireland were a goal down when one of the other players told him at half time. Next they'll be telling us that Waterford beat Kilkenny in the All-Ireland Final last September. I wouldn't mind but having seen the RTE pictures, it's so obviously Robbie Keane's goal that it really makes you wonder what was going through Noel Hunt's mind when he came on WLR FM trying to claim the goal. It is mental.

It doesn't matter in the scheme of things and it is good that we have such selfish, if deluded strikers. It's a pity they can't be so ruthless on the pitch. Robbie handled it well by keeping quiet, if only he could have been as composed when that ball dropped over his shoulder in the last minute.

As ever, the main thing is we're still on course for qualification.
