Fail In my opinion there is a lot of work that needs doing here and as such I am failing this nomination. This is my first GA review, but I have experience as a viewer at FLC and have I have left comments and some rationales as to where I think this fails the criteria. This is a very rough overview of the problems and is by no means exhaustive.

1a 1b
 * The whole thing needs a copyedit/peer review
 * A fair few one or two sentence paragraphs. This is a real structural problem in this article.
 * The lowest point of their season came at Goodison Park, where they were beaten 7-1 by Everton, which Keane described as "one of the lowest points" of his career - repetition of lowest point is awkward
 * Keane, however, was reluctant to join the post-tournament celebrations, later claiming that, as far as he was concerned, Ireland's World Cup was a disappointment - doesn't flow at all because it is full of, or could have less of, the little interjections, which in my opinion, are breaking up the flow. See what I mean.
 * Lacking ndashes in number/year ranges
 * Inconsistent date formats DD Month YYYY & Month DD, YYYY
 * Dates linked in Personal Life section
 * Citation coming before punctuation instead of after.

2a
 * A citation needed tag in the Sunderland section
 * Should use citation templates.

2b
 * Manchester Evening News user comments isn't reliable, neither is ManUtdZone.com

2c 3b
 * Couldn't find anything citing "None of Keane's team-mates voiced support for him during the meeting, although some supported him in private afterwards."
 * a famous 1-0 victory, "famous" says who?
 * easy 3-0 victory over Leeds, "easy"?
 * Some argue that Sunderland's 2007-08 season in the Premier League was marred with bad luck - who is "some"
 * This is a very long article that I feel could be summarised better. Ramblings like "at the height of an extreme period of bad blood between United and Arsenal" don't help the cause.

4.
 * Seems to be a slight bias towards Keane: e.g. "greatly assisted by a number of match-winning performances from Keane"

6
 * A few more images would be nice, but I realise that the availability of free images is the limitation here.

I hope my comments are of some help. Best of luck for the future, Rambo's Revenge (talk)  21:04, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
