Richard Keogh

[geysir]

That was an unrestricted poll. No doubt Richie pressed family and friends into action in order to vote repeatedly on his behalf.
There is no limit to what this ability challenged, shameless self promoter will do.

[TheOneWhoKnocks]

The more and more geysir mocks me over this, the more and more I think Keogh will make a crucial mistake in either a Playoff semi/final or European Championships game.

He is tempting fate and it could come back to bite all of us, not just me.

Don't be ridiculous, no matter what happens, I'm blaming geysir regardless. And Stutts, and POS, not Charlie though.

[DeLorean]

That's some ridiculous logic TOWK but I agree the joke has probably run its course. Judging by the longevity of the 'Coleman penalty waiting to happen' gag though, you're just gonna have to suck it up for another few years I'm afraid. :)

[TheOneWhoKnocks]

Concedes penalty, McGoldrick scores.

Derby 0-1 Ipswich.

[DeLorean]

Hopefully that's the Geysir jinx out of the way.

And now he's been taken off at half time. Geysir are you sitting at home with pins and a Richie Keogh action doll? G.I. Keogh

[SwanVsDalton]

Lads.

Geysir is Keogh.

I have it on good authority, considering this was a dead rubber game for Derby, therefore once Richie picked up a yellow card after a bad foul, the manager took him off just in case Richie's red mist day got even worse and he got himself suspended for the play offs.

Or I could have jinxed him.... heh heh.

[DeLorean]

Scored in Derby's 1-0 League Cup win against Grimsby. Christie and Pearce also played with Hendrick coming on with ten minutes left.

[DeLorean]

New deal for his 30th birthday (http://www.dcfc.co.uk/news/article/2016-17/richard-keogh-signs-new-three-year-deal-at-derby-county-3241282.aspx)

[tetsujin1979]

200 appearances in four years is a solid record

[TheOneWhoKnocks]

Richie's having a bit of a nightmare tonight.

[DeLorean]

Yeah, although regardless of the messenger that's shocking by Keogh especially. He seems incapable of damage limitation when he makes a mistake as it usually leads to a really poor outing. He seems to be able to recover pretty well game to game though which is something I suppose. Even if he never kicked a ball for us again he's already massively exceeded expectations. Clean sheets against Germany and Italy in our two biggest wins in nearly 25 years and another in the playoff against B&H is far more than I ever thought he would be involved in. It does scare me that a night like Tuesday might be just around the corner though.

[tetsujin1979]

better teams than Derby are going to be made look foolish by Liverpool this season.

[DeLorean]

That doesn't excuse the first goal (in particular) to be fair.

It is our inescapable football dharma to live in fear of what could happen next on the field of play.

[DeLorean]

Well that's true. In fairness to Keogh he's been the common denominator in those big wins/clean sheets I mentioned above. He had a different partner each time in O'Shea, Clark & Duffy. O'Shea and Clark didn't really work out in the Euros and Duffy was the much bigger culprit when things went wrong against France, on top his mistake against The Netherlands pre-tournament. It's fair to say Richie is there on merit.

[TheOneWhoKnocks]

Not really.

[CraftyToePoke]

Yeah, but his moment in the lead up to their opener would need several of us on here needing counselling, if it happened in a green shirt.

[TheOneWhoKnocks]

Conceded a penalty after a foul on Marvin Emnes, but Sam Gallagher missed it. Remains Derby 0-0 Blackburn.

[DeLorean]

Played very well today despite himself and Pearce having little to do defensively. He played some really precise, forward passes into the feet of Derby's front players. It was Michael Carrick-like at times, there was often an easier pass available but he was brave enough to try to keep Derby on the front foot, which they were throughout. He also won the all important penalty after being wrestled by Michael Morrison from a corner.

It was his 95th consecutive Championship start and 7th home game in a row where Derby kept a clean sheet. A record for them.

Stephen Gleeson was playing the holding role for Birmingham, can't say he overly impresses me. I suppose he's functional but doesn't offer anything more, or even as good as what we have, granted I haven't seen a whole pile of him so might be a bit harsh. Hourihane got yet another quality assist for Barnsley yesterday, I'd definitely be more interested in his inclusion in our squads I think.

Our hot prospect Jutkiewicz barely got a kick up front, zero supply to be fair to him.

[Stuttgart88]

Keogh must be playing well if TOWK hasn't posted about him for over 3 months.

[OwlsFan]

I think TOWK is in High Dudgeon (a nice little village just north of Ballygobackwards) at most of his posts being contradicted and has disappeared for the moment. With Walters scoring, it might take a little longer than usual for him to come back. However, I do like his contributions as it would be a dull world if we all sang from the same hymn sheets.

DeLorean's summary of the game is quite accurate if slightly harsh on Gleeson. He is in a very average Birmingham side and with a lot of deadwood around him, it's hard to excel.

[DeLorean]

Yeah you're probably right about Gleeson as he seems to be an important player for them. I was only speculating in the context of him making Ireland squads really. Birmingham aren't that bad though are they? They were only three points outside they playoffs before the latest fixtures and have scored as many goals as, say, Sheffield Wednesday. :) They were dire yesterday though.

The standard of the Championship wouldn't be that great to be honest having watched the Newcastle v Wednesday game on St. Stephen's Day. Newcastle are by common consensus the best team in it with the most famous manager and they were made to look very average to say the least. Birmingham are well short of that standard so what does that make them ? How much "football" was played in the Derby/Birm game ? Not a huge amount to be honest. It's an exciting league with a lot of big clubs trying to resurrect their former "glory days" but the standard ? Mind you that doesn't say much for the Premier League either with a lot of promoted teams managing to hang on up there except for those from non-football cities such as Hull.

[DeLorean]

Yeah I wasn't really questioning the level of the Championship, more the potential for Gleeson to excel at a relatively competitive club within it. Hourihane is excelling in a big way at a club on the same number of points as Birmingham, Judge excelled at an average enough side in Brentford, etc. Granted Gleeson seems a more defensive type so won't generate the same kind of recognition.

[DeLorean]

Bit of a howler for West Brom's goal today when he was closed down by James McClean. Great result for Derby though against a pretty much full strength West Brom side and Keogh had made a brilliant goal line clearance earlier in the game after a poor clearance from Scott Carson, which isn't shown below.

[TheOneWhoKnocks]

Look into a mirror and say my name five times and I will appear criticising Richard Keogh.

"He didn't cover himself in glory for the second and third goals when Derby lost 3-0 to Norwich."

They call me Keoghdyman.

[tetsujin1979]

nobody calls you that

[SkStu]

Who de man?

Keoghdyman

[TheOneWhoKnocks]

Balls.ie explore Steve McClaren's claim that Keogh is the best defender in the Championship.

Crikey, does that pass for journalism?

[paul_oshea]

Maybe in Australia.

[SkStu]

Crikey, does that pass for journalism?

journalism is dead. :(

[DeLorean]

100th consecutive league start for Keogh last night in a 3-0 win at Ipswich (their 42nd clean sheet in that run of games). The sequence doesn't seem to include the playoff semi finals against Hull last season (102 games - 43 clean sheets otherwise).

[TheOneWhoKnocks]

Delaney, O'Shea, Ward and Meyler keeping clean sheets in the Premier League as well.

Good week for Irish defenders up and down the leagues.

[tricky_colour]

decent dispslay v leicester..

He's a proper pro and a great leader.

[TheOneWhoKnocks]

Will Derby struggle to go up with Keogh in the team?

http://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/talk-sport-derby-county-will-struggle-to-go-up-with-keogh-in-the-team/story-30126949-detail/story.html

[DeLorean]

They'll struggle to go up regardless. Best defence in the division though, what a numbnuts.

[tricky_colour]

Yea I don't think Keogh was much at fault there, more so the other defender who ended up on his backside, he should have closed him down, but that Demari or whatever
is a good player, I think they got him cheap ie about 1 million?


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68ymmFtCHek


I'd say Keogh did his bit to hold him up the other defender should have closed the door so to speak but he just lollede around and ended up flat on his face.

[CraftyToePoke]

I think they got him cheap ie about 1 million?

Gray ? Closer to 4 million I think.

[TheOneWhoKnocks]

Joint second best defence in the division ATM.

They've conceded two against Bristol City so far.

[TheOneWhoKnocks]

Derby losing 0-3 at home to Bristol City.

Something tells me they won't have the best defense in the division this time tomorrow.

[DeLorean]

You going to post every time they concede a goal? Sad.

[TheOneWhoKnocks]

Derby pull one back!

[TheOneWhoKnocks]

3-3!

Heroic stuff from Keogh.
