Indo SportSaipan review | Five-star Keane, McCarthy’s portrayal & picking sides 🎬
Joe, Will, Ronan & ‘Erstwhile’ Dave have come fresh from the cinema, still smelling of popcorn, to review ‘Saipan’ as the performances of Eanna Hardwicke as Roy Keane and Steve Coogan as Mick McCarthy bring Irish sport’s most explosive row to life.
The strength of the actors, historical inaccuracies and whether the tone was too comedic are all on the chopping block.
And in case you need to be told, this podcast contains spoilers of the film (In a shock ending, Keane does not play in the 2002 World Cup)
