Hmm, wonder who he could mean then?Originally Posted by Mr A
Which of the below people have walked away from Sunderland this season?
a) Roy Keane
b) Roy Keane
c) Roy Keane
d) All of the above
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.
Wasn't the same team though, was it? He threw loads of money at it last summer and managed to make it worse....
I don't think he should have walked away when he did but I seriously doubt he felt he wasn't capable of guiding them to safety this season. I'd have had a decent crack at keepin em up this yr with the rubbish down there!!
It may have been spot on by Quinn but it does make him sound just a tad two-faced to be saying that now after his glowing comments about Keane after he just left Sunderland.
What about Keane's comments about Sunderland? And for having a brass neck to say he'll us if we stay up?
It just sticks in peoples stomachs that Roy Keane was proven to be a fraud and a coward. He couldn't handle the heat so he ran.
He had one of the best jobs in English football and he messed it up.
True, how embarrassing was it seeing Phil Borwn singing on the pitch after the run they had. Very dislikeable individual that man....
Time obviously has given Niall a proper perspective on past events at his club.
Didn't Keane bring Sbragia in as his nr 2?
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?
Us would mean Sunderland. But they again I would put it pass Keane to sue Bohs over something, the nut job!
Ya he's a complete plonker that fella. How the hell can a team stay up after 1 win in 22 games. Goes to show how well they started and how bad the rest of the teams down there actually were.
Sunderland didn't start well in the league, it was their mid season form apres Roy, which garnered them the safety points.
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.
On the topic of Bundesliga, what channels show highlights / live matches from this ?and whenIn fact when can one see highlights from the various European league matches?I have all the channels except Setanta...is it Eurosport that show them?
You're out of luck so, Setanta show the extensive highlights package, don't think anyone takes live games though....
German league is best run in Europe but ironically suffers in the Champions league as a result. All based around the fans experience, safe terracing, cheap tickets, live football on terrestrial tv, everything that the Premiership isn't.
Cheers for that
ive always wanted to hear EGs views on the roy keane saipan affair, for once i reckon he would have 50 percent on his side as oppossed to 100% against him
I'm a bloke,I'm an ocker
And I really love your knockers,I'm a labourer by day,
I **** up all me pay,Watching footy on TV,
Just feed me more VB,Just pour my beer,And get my smokes, And go away
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.
