Isn't he having a bit of a "delayed" moan there though? He'd be better off zipping it full stop and be thankful for the generous breaks Trap has given him since 2008 IMO!Quote:

Yip, I agreeQuote:

Why he feels the need to go on twitter and say what he said is beyond me. He's been left out of the squad and that should be the end of it. If he has a problem take it up with Trap instead of putting it up on twitter knowing fine well he would get a reaction and get it into the media who low and behold are looking to attack Trap at any given opportunity. He'd be better off getting his head down and trying even harder to get back into the squad. I see Darren Gibson has now got involved and Keoghs wife responding on twitter saying he played when they had lost their child. I feel it's getting silly now and they are both showing a serious lack of maturity.
I have one question to ask. Trap's squads are full of "ugly ducklings" that the general public struggles to warm to yet most you can see the qualities that merited their place in the squad e.g.:
Cox: decent technique, McShane: wholeheartedness and personality etc....
Could someone tell me Andy Keogh's biggest attribute on a football field? I've struggled to pinpoint where he excels. Thanks in advance.
Did you have to mention that ? Madden is in instead of him. Sure he has always turned up when requested but so has just about everyone else in that squad. How far should loyalty go? Never change the squad which has been a failing of Trap in the past?Quote:

he's fairly quick, plus he's quite tall. he has a 'good engine' (i.e. he runs around a lot) and is a decent enough finisher by championship standards.Quote:

I hadn't been aware that Gibson was a room-mate of Keogh's.
Hypothetical question: if Keogh was Northern Irish would he be a regular starter in Northern Irish team e.g. last game against Russia.
I'm sure he would be. There's an unwritten rule that ridiculous bleached hair is an automatic starting spot for Norn Iron.
Andy's a skinhead since he went all Milwall.
'Where's me fckin sms Trap, like'?
Woah, I got chills there. Settle down, geysir, we don't want no trouble.Quote:

No shortage of torso pics of him on his twitter... funny that he may have his six pack but still looks scrawny and lightweight...Quote:

Embarrassing tweet from Gibson and only shows yet again how far detached players are from the working man/supporter. I see Keogh’s wife is also getting involved by saying he showed up when they lost a baby last year. It’s incredible that she would bring that into at all. He goes on about loyalty yet has no problem putting the tweet out knowing the media would latch onto it and use it against Trap and all in the build up to two hugely important games. What about loyalty to his fellow team mates, supporters and country. It seems to me he needs to grow up.Quote:

That's one way of putting it. The actual tweet went like this "both of ya's are as exciting as ****ein in a field"...Quote:

Yes that's what was said. No need for the reply he made all the same. Yes find something new to do or grow up.Quote:

Andy has joined Blackpool on loan until the end of the season.
That was excellent. Reminded me of David Platt Vs Cameroon (I think) in Italia '90.
How is Andy Keogh not in the squad?!
:P
Yeah Crafty, that goal was actually against Belgium. It was far more like that one than Van Basten's really, if you take away the tangerine shirts!

Super header to put Blackpool 1-0 up at Wigan, then set up the second. Could easily be the goal that keeps them up.

A very 'English lower league' looking setting.
Scored on his league debut for Perth Glory today.
early morning hat trick for Keogh today, including a last minute winner: http://www.perthglory.com.au/article...a195t285giztio

Keogh a resounding success; scoring heaps of goals in Australia.
The leg tattoo is horrendous. Some hardcore fans celebrating in their Manchester City and Chelsea jerseys :)

I've a few friends who go to A- League matches regularly, all very impressed with his performances.
Nothing sums up humanity and contemporary society quite like the fact that just over ten years ago you could count on a grain of sand the number of footballers with a single tattoo and now the majority of footballers have full sleeves, neck tattoos, hand tattoos, thigh tattoos, tattoos on their lower back.....
It's adorable. I wonder when things are going to come full circle again and the hipsters and metrosexuals are the ones who don't have tattoos?
