I am no fan of Keane either, but he is right. The game is run by greedy players, hiding behind even greedier agents (how was that allowed to happen?), who will down tools at the drop of a hat. And all funded by us.

It happens because Prem League clubs are paying fortunes to foreign players who have no allegiance to the clubs they are playing for and the agents are planning the next transfer before the ink is dry on a contract.

Is this the Roy Keane that downed tools for his country?

the roy keane who was weak enough to allow an average Norweigan player to get under his skin so he had to try and take his leg off

Completely overrated as a character and a pundit and, for much longer as a footballer. Ask a fan to make you remember one game of Keane and they usually come back with the 1999 CL semi in Turin. He dined out on his "peak-Keano" performance for years. But what his manager singled out for praise was Keane cementing a half-fit Zidane. He got booked and missed the final. He was never a great player. And his character unravelled in 2002 before the WC.

LOL keane was a fantastic player one of the best to ever wear that Red shirt

Incorrect.

Without Keane United would not have won as many trophies in that era , he was the driving force and the engine and a true leader of the team

So UB you think you're a better judge than SAF?
|
|
By:
He was popular with the fans for the "prawn sandwiches" riff and ending up in a jail cell now and then:- Redondo had the same status on the terraces; it didn't make him one of the best players ever to wear the Real Madrid shirt.

united biscuits for much longer a player lol
 keane was a fantastic player and leader for utd.and spot on about todays players. |
|
By:
why are these forums full up with clowns
|

By:
He was a martinet on the pitch.
He talks with candour. Probably less dislikeable than any other Man Utd player c 2000 - that's the highest praise we can allow him, and it is the festive season. |

By:
Fergie played Anderson and Djemba Djemba and Phil Neville for a good while and they were all cack, he kept Roy because Roy got the best out of the players around him mostly in the dressing room screaming and shouting and them and yelling out words like Standards and what is means to play for the shirt, not a special player or naturally flair plaer like Scholes but more a workoholic who did what it said on the Tin.

thanx for the football lesson haven. nobody knew he was not naturally gifted player like scholes and more of a workoholic.

Fact: Poll fans for one memory of Roy Keane and most will cite the tackle that ended Haarland's career.
Second would be the og at the Stretford End v Real Madrid, when he ended up on his bottom and spat his bile from a lying position. Third would be him throwing a tantrum and walking-out on his country in 2002. Let us face it, you're not going to put his moves on the pitch to music. |

By:
yes Superjudge because if you post six smilies that makes you more correct then me lol.
|

By:
superjudge |

By:
Even players like viera , gerrard, lampard all rated Keane as a very tough opponent , they cant all be wrong
|
|
By:
biscuits this not about if you like keane or not.great player and leader.it obvious you dont understand football.
|
|
By:
Every team needs a player like Keane who do the ugly stuff and when the chips are down they dig in
|
|
By:
if he was playing today at hes peak would walk in to any prem team in the league
|
|
By:
when akabula agrees with you, you know you've wrong
|
|
By:
He was good enough for United, but can't be called World Class or a great, great players are very few and far between.
|
|
By:
SAF called him 'one of the greats' was he wrong Shaven?
|
|
By:
Like I say - put Keane's best moments to music and it would probably be Slipknot.
But that is to overestimate his influence, he always floundered on the big stage - the one exception being the CL semi 1999, but he wouldn't have got near a half-fit ZZ. |

By:
threw one of the biggest hissies for ire as player and asssistant coach,keeps having a dig at modern players,he was a right fookin boozehound(as many were),some of these players now watch everything they eat,some teetotal,get your fat irish pancake fookin arse out on a pitch with an athlete see how fckn long you last roy
