QuoteWas it not Burdocks they went to with Jack,Harry's is much better
,depending on yous chip tastes
Anyone else amused by the photos of the Man U team, with Roy Keane, in Friday's papers eating in a chip shop before the cup semi-final.
Wasn't Jack Charlton slated in Roy's book for bring the team to Harry Ramsden's in the week before a game (although that at least was a cash earner for Jack
Irony of ironies...
Was it not Burdocks they went to with Jack
Didn't see the picture but can't imagine fergie letting them eat that crap before a match... Maybe a tabloid exaggerated story where the truth is slightly bent...
What were they eating though could have been salads!! you can get all sorts in Chip shops these days!Or just a drink..
No fish and chips and there was a list of what everyone ordered - there was even a picture of Keane sitting at the table but I think he only had the fish (but presumably with batter
Fish and chips are high in carbohydrates and protein.
Just what you need before a big game.
The fat isn't a problem for people who are so active because it's a source of energy. (to a certain extent)
No food is bad food!
It's when you over indulge that you run into problems.
Have Boot Disk, will travel
yes, but the irish trip to the chipper culminated with at least one of the lads completing harry's challenge which was an absolute mountain of fast food.
I seen a picture on the back page of the Mirror on Saturday, but it Rooney, Ferdinad and Brown. Didn't see Keane.
Having one fry up is not really going to have a detramental effect on their performances tbh!
Although I'd get worried if they started indulging in the Richard Dunne prematch diet!!!

Same as that. It was that fat little get Rooney I saw. As for Keane, Its not a problem really, one meal.Originally Posted by BaZmO*
Whatever they all ate, it seemed to have worked well for them.
Man Utd 4-1 Newcastle
Nothing Ironic about it.Wasn't Jack Charlton slated in Roy's book for bring the team to Harry Ramsden's in the week before a game (although that at least was a cash earner for Jack

If memory serves Roy slated Jack for getting the squad to have a fish and chip eating competition which involved the squad gorging on Burdock's finest.
Cork City: Making 'Dream Team' seem realistic since 2007.
It was definitely Ramsdens. They one on the Naas Road beside where Courts used to be. I think Jack had a share in the place.Was it not Burdocks they went to with Jack

No, definitely Harry Ramsden because that's who Jack was sponsored by.If memory serves Roy slated Jack for getting the squad to have a fish and chip eating competition which involved the squad gorging on Burdock's finest.
I didn't read the book (I'm going on hearsay) because I wouldn't put the money in Dunphy's pocket and in the index every reference to Sheffield Wednesday turned out to refer to the Piggies in Bramall Lane
its the wrong kind of fat. olive oil is the right stuff, not that muck you get in a chipper !! Keano is all double speak
Like Andy Reid?

A north Wales chip shop can count the stars of Manchester United among its customers after they stopped off following a day's white-water rafting.
The first team spent £175 on chips, fish, pies and sausages at Y Badell Aur chippy in Bala, Gwynedd, on Thursday.

It's all fat!
Olive oil is better for your heart but it's still fat.
You still need to burn it off.
Many chippers use vegetable oil now because of the increase in demands from vegetarian customers.

Defo Harry Ramsdens on Naas Road.
Jack had shares in the place or something.
Before Austria match - players complained their legs went in the last twenty minutes. Never mind Jack got a few quid from Harry.
Match was a disgrace ok but nothing to do with the chips - more the end of an era for the team
From the BBC: "Rooney opted for a jumbo sausage with his chips, Ronaldo picked chicken, while Paul Scholes, Gary Neville, Roy Keane and Wes Brown were among those who went for the traditional fish option."
Double standard by Keane. Hope they didn't laugh too much as well
I really dont think its a double standard by Keane. Im not in his fan club by any stretch, but i think he is being unfairly criticised. they were on a team building jolly, there was a problem with the catering, so they had fish and chips - Its not the end of the world and i seriously doubt it will effect his performanceMatch was a disgrace ok but nothing to do with the chips - more the end of an era for the team

It also depends on what day of the week it was, if its the day before the match you seriously nned to watch what you are eating but it if its a few days before that is ok. THe most important meal is the one you hare going to have the day before that match. I doubt this was on saturday afternoon.
Also I think the main problem with the Harrys Challenge thing was that the players actually had a competition to see who was the winner and it was a publicity stunt too so that Jack could get his business in the papers etc. I dont think Ferguson has shares in this little fish shop and he certainly did not advertise the fact that they woudl be there. As the previous poster said it was brought about due to the fact that the other rest. was closed that day.
