Keane: It’s now or never Stephen

Robbie Keane believes it’s make your mind up time for Stephen Ireland, as a new era for Irish football begins to take shape.

He also says he accepts that his own position as an automatic starter is no longer guaranteed under the Republic’s new management.

The Ireland skipper and record goalscorer is convinced that, under the management of Martin O’Neill and his assistant Roy Keane, the days of player prevarication and complaint will be consigned to the past.
