OTB Football · UNLOCKED - THE SUNDAY PAPER REVIEW | Are Ireland prepared for penalties? | OFF THE BALL · 22 Mar 2026 podcast

So he lay awake at night and was thinking of different ways.

But he spent years.

The man who's most famous for the penalty, this great interview explains how he spent years perfecting the craft.

And actually, he said in his whole career, he said, I think I repeated maybe 25 times and missed only one.

He said that because there was a huge puddle of water and the keeper couldn't dive across and it basically hit him.

So, like, he's the guy who's most famous for this penalty, has dedicated a part of his career to that one kick.

So, look, I think there is a lesson there.

I must say, I love everybody's looking at his form and kind of going, will he get the Premier League offer?

But maybe there's a great line from himself saying now...

talking about coming to Holland and it's refreshing it's a different style of football it's more with your head than the body and how fast you can run and like maybe with the Champions League has shown again that Premier League isn't maybe the high bar for football isn't created so that moving to a league which is now gone through the Arteta cycle

vision of the game and going a certain way that maybe for his development another move to a bigger European club would actually be well suited.

But isn't it great to have an Irish striker, Edward Keane, talking about that the game he prefers is a game of the head, not just a game of physicality.

So I think that's, for the future of Ireland as well, that's encouraging as well.

So maybe could he go on to become, if he takes another move to a bigger European club?

And I think there is interest, isn't there, John?

And there's actually an interesting line from Dermot O'Carroll, Paul Rona's piece, The Kerryman Coaching at Sparta Prague.

And again, he referenced the fact that he's not sure whether the Czechs have got over the infighting, which marred the latter part of the qualifying group with the manager Ivan Hasek fired after a shot to the feet by the Faroe Islands and Thomas Sushek being stripped of the captaincy for refusing to acknowledge the fans.

So remember, that's part of their recent history.

So if you take a break like that, and I think how the ultras...

I fell out with the team.
