thats the problem. most people who support keane are just as reasonable as he is, so trying to discuss it is quite difficultQuote:

Just a mesaage to all the fans that have criticised Roy Keane for the last two years i have a small message for you all....UP YOURS!!!!!! :p
Welcome back Roy..probably the best players(with Paul Mc Grath of course)to ever play for Rep of Ireland..i cant wait for the day i see you wearing the green jersey again..Our National team will be all the better for it... :)
Apart from everything else, he is not one of the best players in the world anymore. There was a time when he was the best midfielder and the most influential player in europe (and probably the world). His performance for Man Utd away to Juventus in the semis of the champions league is one of the greatest displays of sheer determination and classI've ever seen. But he's a shadow of that player now.
Fu*ck Off! Roy is back and we are going to the World Cup!! :)Quote:

One of the reasons the whole subject bugs me so much is the childish name-calling and pathetic immaturity of the Keane fans. Even people like you RedX who normally talk sense seem to go soft in the head and talk out of their holes the minute the guys name crops up. The argument is always "you don't like Roy- you're a ******."Quote:

if you can provide a sane, intelligent and reasonable answer to each of those questions, I might think about it. Otherwise grow up and stop gloating like a 2 year old
This is coming from you! You would require a decoding system to read most of your posts.Quote:

first of all conor stop putting words in my mouth, and/or putting a different slant on my posts than i myself did.
i think eanna and brendy are wrong questioning his nationality. that is wrong and it is not done. his national pride has never been in question and its ridiculous to think ye feel ye are entitled to.
i didnt call brendy a knacker. i likened him to one. if was to call him a knacker it would take 4 words -" you are a knacker". i dont know brendy, i am not entitled to call him a knacker so read my posts before you go all high and mighty by taking an evident "moral highground" holier than thou attitude.
i feel to question his loyalty is unjust.
i feel to attempt to boo him is to boo the whole team. do it and dont call yourself a true irish fan in my opinion.
it doesnt matter whether you boo one of all, they all hear a boo. and thats a great motivation for a team isnt it? a timely reminder at the start of a game that there are people here without any interest in seeing the team perform ,but only to satisfy a personal agenda against a team member. putting themselves before their country.
that isnt what any rightminded irish fan would do if they truly supported the irish qualification cause.
but maybe colm and eanna know better. it'd be the first time i knew of a team who liked to draw friendly support from boo's....
Obviously he wont be coming back as captain... and is unlikely to ever hold that position again. My guess is he'll come as a sub for 20 mins for a few matches to get all the booing over with!
:D Damn straight!Quote:

First of all...Conor74..i decided to start a new thread simply because i wanted to..sorry i did not ring you and ask for permission.. ;)
2nd..Eanna..i am sure no matter what answers i leave here to your questions you will just disagree with your usual know-all attitude..but anyway here goes..
1.Because he is still one of the best midfielders in the world..
2.An apology??..did you ever here the wrod pride?..why should any person in this world apoligise for something he thinks was right?..you disagree but i and many more do not...
3.He stood up for what he beleived in and our National teams set-up has gradually improved since..someone has to voice there opinions..he had more bottle than the others..
And about me acting a two year old??..jaysus lad grow up will you..you were outside the ground last night selling the fanzine..what age are you 18?19?..you are to much of a know all ;)
Yeah, I've had a few problems that way with seafood myself...Sometimes after not even having had any seafood. :DQuote:
