Robbie Keane made his final stand in an Ireland jersey and it was an emotional night. On his 146th cap for his country, the nation's record appearance holder hit a record 68th goal as Martin O'Neill's men cruised to a 4-0 win over Oman. And, in the 56th minute, Dublin bid him farewell. https://twitter.com/eirSport/status/771076095282126848?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw Afterwards, the legend was full of class. He spoke about the game on Monday night against Serbia as more important than his sendoff. He thanked the fans and he held back the tears. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/771075614627463168 https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/771084406337437696 https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/771084599531364358 On Thursday, he gave it a final lash with a simple, elegant, heartfelt message to the fans he has served so well. https://www.instagram.com/p/BJz9yY0g5EY/?taken-by=robbiekeane&hl=en Thanks, Robbie.
