Saipain is never going to go away until we qualify for a major tournement again. The there will be some new scandal to talk about.

Yup, pity we don't have a Roy Keane playing for us in the middle we might have a much better chance

And walked out.

Anyhow, thats not the issue.

The issue is do recent developments, and Fergie kicking him out of Old Traford shed more light on things

Keane was right in 2002, Fergie was right in 2005

I always felt so recent developments don't change it

No.

Certainly the much-maligned Mick McCarthy ( by the Keane media lapdogs and the worst kind of Cork pub bore ) will be vindicated.
Grace,resilience,hon esty,courage,reliabi lity - they were never much part of the Keane brand then and less so now.

All wumming aside, that's an excellent post...apart from the typo.

Well, I think that President Elect Obamas ongoing commitment to having a strong US military presence in the region will consolidate it's position, giving it's proximity to Guam and also it's position as a US commonwealth protectorate.

Oi!

this is serious

Sorry.

I think that questions have to be asked about Roy's character now. A quote of his from some time back reprinted in today's Examiner makes interesting reading. "People ask where my competitive streak comes from. It's fear. I have a fear of failure."


I think that says it all really.

[Forsberg]

Irelands Player of the tournament in 1994 singlehandedly got them there in 2002

Fixed it.

One of the hacks, maybe Rob Sheperd did a piece on him this weekend and I don't want to go down his past addictions route, but said the compulsive side to him was transferred post alcoholism to this ridiculous obsession with what he thinks is perfection. I think there is a point in there somewhere

[ANVIL]

Everyone has a fear of failure but only cowards give up before the fight has even started.
The real disappointment with Keane - even for his committed fans - is that he gave up so easily.
No-one likes a quitter and he really has no excuse.

[KD Langer]

looking for a proper managenment structure, better preparation, wanting to show some ambition and not settle for second best. yet, people support the cork hurlers and crucify keane.


it's beyond me i tell ya.....

anvil my man for once i completely agree with you. it will probably be just the once though cos you're a cunt. ha ha joke

Would you call his setup at SundArland proper?

text messages, refusing to speak to his boss or take training, players allergic to him?

I think Saipan has been put to bed this week, its just a matter of getting some people to accept it now

I'm actually a little concerned for Keane's mental well-being now.
Outside of football - where surely he will spend his days now he is discredited - Keane doesn't appear to have any other interests except his family.
Having poured scorn on TV pundits in the past I don't see that as an avenue he'll go down but who knows ?

[ANVIL]

saipan and sunderland are two diferent stories.

But each with the same ending.

[Edmund Blackwater]

saipan and sunderland are two diferent stories.
Two different chapters of the same story.

[KD Langer]

No.

[Lamps]

Only a fool would see things like that.

People are creatures of habit. Keane's career is proof of that pudding

[KD Langer]

Two different chapters of the same story.

the roy keane story.

saipan is far more similar to the cork hurlers strike. why aren't the cork hurlers being cruciied for waliking out on their county?


(i think they're right btw, just asking a question about similar stories and the inconsistent approach to said stories)

[Arcadia]

This could be the Cork Hurlers/Ger Mac situation........... .

[Edmund Blackwater]

This has nothing to do with Cork hurling. It has to do with Keane walking out in time to write an extra chapter for his book in order to get it to the Christmas market.

[KD Langer]

lets examine that career.

captain of man utd. ireland
alex fergusons best ever player according to the man himself.
7 league winners medals
1 european cup medal
3 FA cups.

yeah, it's obvious. the guy had no backbone.

edit. irelands player off the tournament 1994.
man of the match v portugal and holland 2002 campaign.

poor effort ed. even by your standards.....

[Edmund Blackwater]

1 european cup medal.
Ich don't think so.

[KD Langer]

Ich don't think so.

you;re wrong. keane got a medal.whatever you think of that he did.

[Edmund Blackwater]

you;re wrong. keane got a medal.whatever you think of that he did.
He gave it away in the one moment of dignity he had in his career.

[KD Langer]

He gave it away in the one moment of dignity he had in his career.

i didn't know that. but he got one.

[Lamps]

So let me get this straight, are the bumslappers saying Keane went on strike now?

[Edmund Blackwater]

i didn't know that. but he got one.
He didn;t win one though.

[daithi81]

Fixed it. :)

Shay Given.

[Edmund Blackwater]

The beard made him think he was a union leader.

[ANVIL]

It's a sad day when a manager can't even hang on to see his lads getting in the Sunday papers for roasting a couple of teenage slappers at their Christmas party.
Although given his popularity Keane would have been sat there on his own with a mountain of sausage rolls.
I find it hard how fellers on this forum can defend a Corkman who has turned us into a laughing stock.

[bigboyfoolish]

Laughing stock...
as in like this
http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/sport/2008/1208/1228571631012.html


Me no think so..

No one and I mean absolutley no one laughs at Cork people
because of Roy Keane.


It must be a slow news week if people are still talking about him
though..

[KD Langer]

He didn;t win one though.

tedious......

[Forsberg]

Shay Given.

Nope... we all know that nobody other than Keane were responsible for qualification on 2002. Factorama.

ah, the old SFI avoid the questions routine......

[daithi81]

If i wasn't for Given we would have lost to Iran, without mentioning his heroics versus Portugal and Holland.

FACT
