Through thick and thin: Ireland players salute their magnificent fans after the final whistle
Del Bosque was full of praise for the Irish fans, saying: ‘It was exemplary and great behaviour from the Irish fans. Everyone in football, we suspect, will respect and they are a great example for everyone in the game.’
But Roy Keane was dismissive of the team and the supporters. He said: ‘I think we need to change the attitude towards the team. Sure, we are only a small country and have limited resources. But let’s not just be going there for the sing-song,’ said the UTV pundit.
