1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Coming out of retirement
Makelele & Zidane
For to help France
Jump out of the frying pan

The Republic of Ireland
Meet like with like
Bring back their own firebrands

Brady, Dunphy & Giles
Just don’t expect ’em
To run for miles and miles

“Not great – nothing to be afraid of
Once Roy gets a rumbling
We’ll soon see what they’re made of”

himself a returnee
aims his sights higher
just inches above the knee

but we’ll blunt their blades with our labours
and with our steel and our guile
they’ll be no match for our sabres”

7 Leave a comment on verse 7 0 “Now that we’ve ditched McCarthy
they’ll have no wish to embroil
in any physical mullarkey
and their tactics we will foil”

8 Leave a comment on verse 8 0 “For once Roy is in motion
he knows how to treat ’em mean –
then we’ll deliver own rapier
step forward Robbie Keane”.

Notes

on the news that :
Zinedine Zidane and Claude Makelele are coming out of retirement for France.

Bill : Bill O’Herlihy – RTE’s equivalent to Des Lynam

And his first choice punditry team :
Liam Brady, Eamon Dunphy & Johnny Giles.

Eamon Dunphy wrote Roy Keane’s biography and wasn’t a fan of Mick McCarthy –
and reminds us of both facts, at every (shay) given opportunity.
