It was and it was spot on by Sir Niall!
At least Ricky was a man and went face to face with Quinn to hand in his notice unlike the moron from Mayfield did. The coward got Michael Kennedy to fax it in for him.
Ricky was man enough to step up to plate and take on the challenge and stuck in there thru thick and thin unlike the Great Keano and when realise he wasn't up to the job he walked away and said get someone who take us forward. Unlike Keane would decided to blame everyone but himself.
article in the Guardian on Gerard Pique today gives another insight into Keane .. had to laugh ...
"On one occasion, Piqué's mobile started vibrating in the dressing room. Keane went ballistic, ripping clothes from their pegs, rummaging in pockets, screaming that he would kill the man responsible. Luckily, it rang off before Keane reached Piqué's trousers. A relieved man, he told friends he had never felt closer to death."
He kept the same team up the season before so I doubt he thought he wasn't up to the job.Quote:

True, how embarrassing was it seeing Phil Borwn singing on the pitch after the run they had. Very dislikeable individual that man....Quote:

He must have forgotten that your nr. 2 should be somebody competent but not actually better than you at the job.
Whos "us"? Is it Sunderland? or is it Bohs?Quote:

Goes to prove that Roy was part of the problem but with their late season form other fundamental issues come to the fore - like the squad that Roy built.
Makes a mockery of the all-conquering Premier League. 5 teams would have gone down this year if there was any justice. At least WBA tried to do something! The others should be embarassed. Pathetic.
Gabriele Marcoti had a good article in The Times today saying how good the Bundesliga is. The best teams aren't as good as the best EPL teams but the gap between top & bottom is smaller, the crowds are bigger (avg 50k), there are more goals per game (2.03 I think) and the season goes down to the wire with more than 2 teams competing for the title, and usually different teams.

You're out of luck so, Setanta show the extensive highlights package, don't think anyone takes live games though....Quote:

Cheers for thatQuote:

You're optimistic, true to type he would be incapable of expressing his opinion without mentioning Mick's Englishness and Roy's choice of pre match ballads.
So he would manage to wind up everybody.
In the Bundesliga, it's only one match at the start of the season and one match after the winter break that's shown live on terrestrial television. The rest are live only on the Premiere pay channels.Quote:

Anyways, back to the main topic. I understand Keano was on the Late Late recently? What did he say?
Found thid on the net. Funniest thing you'll read:p

Very very said individual who wrote that to be honest.
That doesn't make sense? The individual said 'Very very'?Quote:

sorry it should be very very sad individual. I do not have a problem with it, I just think its sad to go to that amount of trouble and to be so bitter about someone who does not even know you exist.Quote:

A lot of life is about love and hate and it doesn't make the individual sad. Should we not write articles condemning actions by individuals just because they don't know us? In which case a lot of people would have had an easy ride in life.Quote:

Anyway, enough bible analogies for now.....
I think the ones about all the players are pretty sad to me. I said before the pro and anti Keane brigade at the exrtremes are as bad as each other. Shower of gob****es the lot of them in my view.
You mean you regard that wiki spoof as a serious piece of work?
Yeah I agree it works the other way too. What part of that I think both sidces of this are wrong do people not get. Extremes are the problemQuote:

Keane said: 'Fingers crossed, they will get there, but once they qualify it will depend on their mentality.
'If they go there with the same lacklustre attitude the last time they were in the World Cup - cutting corners on hotels and travel - then obviously they won't do that well.
'But if they have the right mentality - like you would hope their experienced manager's got - and they say, "We're going over there to do as well as we can", then why not? You would expect them to have a training pitch that's at least been watered and without any potholes and I wouldn't have thought they would be getting four connection flights.
'I don't think he will be accusing his players of faking injury a week before the World Cup, either - but that's just my guess.'

Fairly consistant at what he said at the time to be honest. He is in a bad mood at the moment anyway cause ipswich are doing crap, but they probably have a great training pitch.Quote:

Way to go to build up confidence Roy. Gone by Christmas. The Mach 3 is firmly locked away.
I notice he keeps refering to ROI as they and not we in the article. Treacherous ba*tard. Where's real Irishmen like Andy Townsend and Mark Lawrenson when you need them?Quote:
