[@Levity635]

I love Robbie so much. He's an absolute hero for Ireland. Would have loved to see him get a bit more time at Liverpool.

[@phillyb8347]

Nah, he was terrible for Liverpool. Couldn't hit a barn door

[@mikewazowski6292]

​@@phillyb8347 That's just simply not true 🤣🤣🤣

[@UnashamedlyGodSquad]

Benitez shat on him ... and it cost us the Prem

[@davidmcnaboe]

@@phillyb8347 ur obv not lpool fan. he scored 2 goals in his last game. don't hate on him because ur jealous

[@dechardy3093]

His boyhood dream

[@kem1036]

Love Keano.. too bad it didn't work out or if he had maybe come to liverpool in a different time. Top bloke! 🇮🇪

[@tenbasker]

Rafa should explain his handling of Robbie. As a fan we instantly took Robbie to our hearts and were willing him on in every game. He should have had a longer career at Anfield. Adored wherever he played though. Fan favourite. Not a bad singer either. I heard him in Lillies in the early 2000's. He could have joined Boyzone or Westlife!

[@mikedon5205]

Gerrard did say in an interview there was a problem there terrible decision to let him go I January. A decision that may well have cost us the league that year

[@SatLive1]

Lfc has had some of the best strikers and Keano is amongst them. That stunner at Arsenal (in 2008) proves that and I wish he had some more time with us. Love Robbie Keane, YNWA!

[@anthonym7979]

I remember Robbie playing for St. Aidans in Tallaght in the early nineties he was in the class below me always knew he was going to be world class.. fair play Robbie

[@TheIkaraCult]

Robbie is the most underrated player in the history of the league. If his name was Keanovic or Keanoberg he would get way more credit with the tastemakers.

[@mr.n476]

gread podcast with Robbie Keane! wished he stayed longer in Liverpool much longer

[@pushkarrai9727]

I remember his signature goal celebration....what a player....

[@johnbobby1092]

Top podcast Robbie I'm an 🦉 myself but growing up born 1973 I remember Liverpool and all the greats they had ..the style Europeen cup nights cheering Liverpool on as an English kid ...those days are gone now 😢..but you can't take memory's away ...I was Kenny Daglish in the playground and sometimes souness 😂😂

[@DavidDArcy1975]

i remember watching Recoba's debut for Inter. He scored a 25 yard freekick from the left with his right and then scored a 25 yard freekick from the right with his left... stunning, great player when he was fit

[@1Jameskelly]

Love the 2 Robbies!! MARCHING ON TOGETHER lads!!! ⚽👌

[@colmm5022]

my 2 heroes in football growing up and still now tbh, the 2 robbies, absolute legends

[@scotteaglen4872]

Even as a Leeds fan I find these podcasts outstanding.

[@frenzyhoodxfhx3963]

Keane a legend ❤

[@alambyant]

Robbie Fowler is the best striker in Premier league history. Unreal finisher.

[@millersmash1000]

Great player, just never had the opportunity to form what could have been a formidable partnership with Torres. For me he was always trying to perform to make sure he was on the team sheet for the next game. Rafa never really gave him the space to relax. Always gave 110%. Solid bloke. Even better player.

[@BobbyShels]

I grew up a Catholic Scouser, Irish family, and Celtic being given to you is 100% true. It’s not a choice.

[@user-qu9ku3dr5y]

what do you say about Robbie Keane appointment as coach of Maccabi Tel Aviv? Do they talk about it in Ireland ? England ?

[@unionjackie.thealisterschoice]

@@user-qu9ku3dr5y I would say, UK and USA Israel have caused more pain than Israel, so....Its moot The people think "fair play to him" Hes a sportsman not a political figure

[@gspvideo5543]

I remember being frustrated as to how he kept coming SO DEEP into midfield when playing for us. No wonder he didn’t score as many as he is capable of. Legend for Ireland, top player

[@colinblackshaw971]

Very underrated Liverpool legend

[@zmiru]

How is he a Liverpool legend?

[@Teabagsforlife]

Great player but not a Liverpool legend

[@darrencrampton3106]

What a great player Robbie was, he was treated so poorly at Liverpool by Rafa.

[@nath-wp7xp]

Yeah I love Rafa but towards the end of his time he made some really stupid decisions. Wanting Barry instead of Alonso, getting rid of Keane in January when the club was short of strikers, the facts speech, his last two transfer windows in general. So frustrating.

[@lakedaemon]

@@nath-wp7xp The last two transfers could be down to H&G but true it was for the last year especially

[@myownlilbubble]

Will never get why Rafa made those decisions...or maybe it was H&G's doing....those donkeys....

[@BraveInstance]

Rafa never wanted Keane in the first place. That was Purslow.

[@matepoon]

@Michael Keegan Exactly, Alonso hadn't been playing particularly well. Then turned it on in the season before he left for Real Madrid.

[@jorgesaal2463]

Great player! The timing of his departure at Liverpool was so odd. He was starting to get into great form and was looking more and more comfortable with every game that went by. Rafa⁩ was a bit odd but he will always be a legend for winning #5.

[@mccleandazza4618]

Rafa decision to sell robbie cost us the league in 09 ..torres was injured and we had to rely on david ngog We had more chance of turning them draws into wins with robbie still at the club

[@jorgesaal2463]

@@mccleandazza4618 100000% agree mate.

[@mikedon5205]

Big time one of rafas worst decisions quality is quality and despite his average start and without torres we were still in with a great chance .. It's also a fact that Keane had a good run in the middle of October November that coincided with Rafa being inhospital .. First game back against Newcastle I remember he dropped Keane after Keane had scored in a few games while he was away . Liverpool beat Newcastle comfortably that day but I feared what the decision to drop Keane would do . Next game was an fa cup game Keane was back snaching at chances

[@terryfauzifan9459]

i been a fan of robbie keane since his days in leeds united ...

[@gerardfitzpatrick2878]

Thn Robbie for giving me my happiest moments supporting Ireland. Brest of luck at Maccabi.

[@colonelsaunders]

It is of my opinion that if Rafa didn't have such a bee in his bonnet with Keane and kept him, we'd have won the title that season. Class player who deserved a lot better from LFC.

[@mccleandazza4618]

we would have , torres got injured and all we had was ngog ..rafas pride cost us that year

[@xPandaZ4]

Love these can't wait for the next one

[@Church_Of_Kloppism]

Robbies goal vs arsenal was a beauty

[@chaochaba8133]

Great player

[@allancleary2317]

Class to see fowler and Robbie do this... fowler was in god mode when I started watching footie and keano well he was irish and our god

[@martinkelleher5662]

Looking at some of his goals there in the vid that was a missed opportunity him n torres wld have been lethal Gerrard behind spraying the passes

[@Kingofthekop1]

No way Rafa was playing two up top, he never has never will.

[@NC-ck5oj]

Pity they didnt talk more about his Ireland career. Guy scored 68 goals. Thats a fantastic record. Up their win the top strikers

[@IrishRed-ns1vn]

These podcasts are superb. I'm Irish, and love Robbie Keane. tbh, I think his best years were behind him when he signed for Liverpool, due to him breaking on to the scene at such a young age. I wish Liverpool would have signed him 8 years earlier.

[@danieladams9950]

Robbie one of the best strikers in the Premier League era. Treatment from Rafa bizarre and unfortunate.

[@user-qu9ku3dr5y]

what do you say about Robbie Keane appointment as coach of Maccabi Tel Aviv? Do they talk about it in England ?

[@jefffoster7105]

I felt for Robbie when he was at Liverpool because Rafa can be a strange manager can't he and you could see he didn't give the lad enough support and direction but that's Rafa for you , baffling at times. YNWA

[@mikedon5205]

Bigtime it was a terrible decision to let him go

[@mouthpiece806]

always had a lot of respect for robbie! wish he’d had stayed longer

[@krh1892]

Robbie Keane was one of the players I wanted us to sign for years, and when we did it just didn't work out for him. It's such a shame. He was a fantastic player and given more games and a longer spell I think he could have been great for us.

[@Adamtheflyfisherman]

Such a shame Robbie wasn't given a chance at Liverpool. I thought he did well for us. I remember going crazy when he scored his first goal for us 😁

[@seanmckillen9090]

Great striker Robbie could not understand the way benetez treated him oddball rafa

[@LAKKISS1]

Ive supported Liverpool for over 30 years Robbie Keane wasnt given enough time IMO and I really wanted him to succeed there but nevertheless what a career many could only dream of! YNWA

Was soo excited when Robbie Keane signed such a shame it went how it did in the end would’ve been nice to have him for a couple years atleast

[@colmm5022]

the transfer of robbie going back to spurs is the reason i have a love hate feeling towards rafa, i honestly believe that transfter cost us the league that year

Rafas handling of keane and alonso was bizarre, yeh he won number 5 but guy was an oddball sometimes.

[@jamesfoley4832]

Loved it when Robbie signed for us. I genuinely thought he was the final piece to Rafa’s jigsaw. How Rafa wasted his talent is criminal.

[@googleuser4467]

I personally believe Rafa didn't get the best out of Keano or didn't play him in the right position. Keano was a brilliant for all the other clubs he played at. So the responsibility lies at the hands of Rafa, to why the Keano didn't become a Anfield legend.

[@okinawiwik8918]

Torres and Agger pleaseee

[@konzaros7482]

always found robbie being sold very strange at the time. Liverpool drew alot of games in 08/09 and only lost 2 but when torres wasn't fit our options were ngog and elzhar i believe who all due respect to those lads, werent good enough. Torres missed alot of football that season and we definitely could have used robbie off the bench like utd did with macheda, tevez etc. may of been the difference.

[@mccleandazza4618]

I knew the minute rafa sold him back to spurs and his first game back he scored 4 was gonna cost us the league in 09 And just like clock work torres went injured and all we had david ngog Rafa lost the plot on this one

Always rated Robbie Keane and was over the moon when Liverpool signed him. Travesty that he didn’t get longer because he could have score a bucket load for us.

[@eoinyessesmaguire1636]

Robbie was a quality player and it would and should of worked with Torres but he just wasn't for Benitez... At long last we have a future star striker in Evan Fergusson, We haven't had a decent forward since Robbie.. Very unlucky at Inter cause Lippi wanted him but then went to Juve only few weeks after Robbie arrived.. When he scored that goal against Germany in the 2002 world cup cemented his legacy, That WC still annoys me cause we really missed a big chance of going far at least the semis, We should of beaten Spain in normal time but all ifs and buts now..

[@mccleandazza4618]

Never the same ?? His first game back at spurs he scored 4 in one game

[@CarlG-xu6qe]

Rafa far too stubborn for his own good.. and to the detriment of the club. We would have and should have won the league that season if he used Keano properly Rafa was an extremely frustrating manager tbh.. his time at the club is overrated imo We should have achieved more but were held back by his in game management and tactics

Rafa wasnt the manager to get the best out of Keano. I wish he was here for at least 2 more seasons so we could get tge best out of the team.

[@EightFrancs]

Rafa is a great manager and Liverpool legend. But the way he treated Robbie Keane, was an absolute disgrace. Selling him hurt our club.

[@getchrismo]

I’m sure Benitez got rid as he tried a flick instead of an easy finish against atletico madrid (away goal) and we ended up losing over 2 legs. Benitez probably thought it was unprofessional and couldn’t accept

[@footycoach1]

I remember this as being the moment he gave up on him too, camera went to Rafa and he looked disgusted. He also publicly gave up on Jan Arne Riise after an expensive error.
