It is the mark of an influential player that one is despised by the supporters of an opposing team. There must be no more validating sound than that of opposing fans booing you relentlessly.
Tensions were running high yesterday, and those around the New England area vented their spleen towards LA Galaxy's marquee man. Given that their attempt at revolution turned out to be more Russell Brand than Che Guevara last night, the mood turned quite sour. Boston has never turned against an Irishman as quick.
We hear a lot about how Robbie is loved and respected by the followers of the MLS. But frankly, all those reports detailing a ceaseless love-in just make the League seem small-time. We know that's not how people react to match-winning players in England.
Gah. Another extra-time defeat. Always hated Robbie Keane. Gotta break through one of these days. #NERevs #STAND

I would have been ok with the loss if anyone else scores the game winning goal instead of that piece of shit Robbie Keane.

My dislike of Robbie Keane is stronger than usual today... and I dislike him a lot.

Robbie Keane just looks and acts like a complete douche. Deserved MVP though.
