That's because you live in New York, Crosby.
I think Astoria has a few Bulgarian restaurants. Maybe POSH works there. He loves Queens.
After using the expression about having a reputation for getting up early in another thread, I went to explore the origins of the saying. Instead I stumbled across this interview with John Robertson from a couple of years ago.
John Robertson interview: Whatever happened to JR?

This hard man thing keane likes to perpetuate is boring. Hard man me hat. He is a footballer, not a heavyweight cage fighter
He just comes across as terribly bitter when he talks about feuds and harbouring vendettas. It's playground stuff.
he trained as a boxer in his youth, so he's not far off itQuote:

There's an incredibly bitter, dark side to his character (as there is to many people and sportsman) but it's a shame that, this week, that side has been the focus of 90% of the reporting.
Here's a bit of the more empathetic (or is it empathic?) side, courtesy of a tweet by Ciaran O RahallaighQuote:

I'd read somewhere yesterday that he gave his 1999 Champions League winners' medal to a United coach because he thought it was unfair that this coach hadn't received a medal whilst, I assume, other members of staff had.
Sure who hasnt in ireland:pQuote:

Yes, and although he got a bit of stick for retaining Walters, it should probably be seen in the light of having a rookie non-specialist right back on the night, Meyler.
And Delaney looked lumbering and off the pace yesterday.
Well, nothing new there. You should see him on an airplane.Quote:

A couple of good articles in the Sindo on O'Neill and his style. Fanning's is the more substantial but the second contains a remark by McGeady saying O'Neill didn't even discuss his position or role in Tuesday with him, that was left to Walford.

Noel Gallagher loves Roy Keane
But what's his beef with Celtic?
Is it a beef? It's the Indo' FFS, a rag of a paper in the main, with a pretty feeble quote from NG who's a confused man at best, re.his own identity.
Read like a beef to me... "I love Roy Keane. I actually liked him when he was at United but then he signed for Celtic..."
I remember Gallagher saying one time that he's half Irish, half English, as both his parents are Irish but he was born and raised in Manchester. Seemed clear enough.
The Indo is a rag though.... how did that happen? Was it always so bad? Seems bizarre that one of our main broadsheets could be so tabloid-ish and trashy.
Well it's up to him. Know plenty of similar who wouldn't claim to be the least bit English.
But even that claim's much more credible than the Indo' to be anything more than a pretty useless paper.
Hasn't he always said he supports Ireland in football, while identifying himself with Union Jack imagery (guitars, promo pics...)?
Good job he's not actually a footballer.
He has a beef with Roy Keane and anything Man Utd related, but likes/supports Celtic, therefore it got confusing when Keane signed for Celtic.Quote:

I think what he meant is that he liked Roy (even when at United) so when he moved to Celtic he went up another level in terms of
appreciation.
If you listen to the Irishman abroad podcast (would recommend - Niall Quinn, Ronnie Whelan, Darren O'Dea all brilliant on it) then there is an advert/intro at the start with Noel stating 'I had an Irish upbringing'. Fairly sure both his parents are from Mayo. His mum definitely is.
Ah yes, I can read it that way now actually. Makes sense.Quote:

Roy Keane, the lost film reviews. I laughed.
