[edit] The Saipan Incident

The first half is copied from Saipan and the second half seems to be about a non-event. SWAdair | Talk 06:54, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. The incoherent bit at the end of the article appears to be a reference to the Republic or Ireland's national football team having a training camp in Saipan before the last football World Cup. Perhaps too much Guinness before writing the article? Particularly since they then don't bother mentioning that team captain Roy Keane was so incensed by the amateuristic state of the training camp it resulted in a very public spat with manager Mick McCarthy and Keane leaving the team. This is mentioned in Keane's article, it could possibly be mentioned in the main Republic of Ireland football team article perhaps, but the term 'Saipan Incident' does not appear to have been widely used, and is therefore not appropriate.
