Cobh Ramblers 'failure' praises Keane style, but calls for more care of youngsters

Young Irish footballers need more psychological help to cope with a sense of failure when they return early from England.

That’s the view of Cobh Ramblers’ new signing Shane O’Connor, who spoke on the Today With Sean O’Rourke show on RTÉ Radio 1 yesterday.

O’Connor joined Liverpool as a 16-year-old from Cork club Rockmount and then played with Ipswich Town for three seasons before giving up on his dream of a cross-channel career.
