    Roy Keane

    If you haven't heard the news, he's now a free agent. Now everyone is assuming he'll goto that Scottish team, but I wonder if Rico should make a play for him?

    It might sound outrageous but think about it. At this stage in his career money is surely not an issue to him, and he'd make loads on coming home and playing here with sponsorship and the like anyway. Also, he's a very proud Corkman (He's one of those Cork first Ireland second types isn't he? ), and coming home would do so much for Cork soccer and domestic soccer in general. He's probably heard of how well City have done in Europe recently and I wonder if the thought of coming home and taking them up a level appeals to him.

    Really, why bother signing for Celtic? He'll play a couple of seasons, maybe win the SPL and make the champions league group stages, nothing the club haven't done plenty of times before. He'll make a bit of money but is that important to him at this stage? I just wonder if Richardson really made the right noises to him if he couldn't tempt him to come home, and it would be some boost for the league and City.

    Reaction to Keanes departure was quite muted in his hometown of Cork this evening where several locals commented. 'Like i couldn't give a shivering fuick about him as long as we win the league tonight'
    Another youth threatened 'Well if that laanger makes the back pages the morning after we win the league . . . .
    City definetly have the best bands playing at half-time.

    Roy Keane leaving United is a major international sports story. Understandable that it's going to take media coverage away from the Cork-Derry match.

    ffs slash/ed give us ten pints of what your fcuking drinking
    there is more chance of the pope signing for rangers than his corkness stooping to the level of the eircom league(that I feel would be his opinion not mine)

    Well I don't think it'll happen, but I reckon there's an outside chance and Rico should at least talk to him. If he wasn't at the end of his career then no chance obviously.

    It Would be magic for the league obviously but I can see him having a few years left at the top. love to see him do a denis law and relegate the B****rds
    I agree though Rico should make an approach even if just for the international media attention it would bring on the league

    Sure he started here. If anything when he moved from Cobh to Forest he stooped...

    He stole headlines from us during our European run and now he is doing it again. If we win the league and Keane makes the headlines then that rag should be cermonially burned.

    Wonder does he fancy getting a degree? (A proper one, not those honourary ones!)

    Utterly stupid series of events. Let's ask your team captain speak his mind on your own TV channel and then pull his comments when they're too harsh. Another thread here mentions that he turned up for a reserve game as part of his comeback from injury but was told his services weren't needed and to go and speak to Ferguson over it. It was probably going this way anyway, but I can't help but feel he's been very shoddily treated after 12 years.

    Did you fail to notice this




    I would imagine that roy would see a move from manchester united to cork as some what of a drop
    I am a big advocate of the eircom league but i dont live in cloud cuckoo land

    Doesn't Ferguson have "form" carrying on this way?
    When Ferguson falls out with you, he cuts you off for good.
    All those coaches, players, horse buddies etc. that Ferguson no longer thinks exist?
