Can you name those games ?

Yes, Duff, the prolific goalscorer.Originally Posted by ccfcman
Erm, Defoe joined them mid-season.Originally Posted by Slash/ED
Defoe would be well in the running for that award this year.
Keane is an extremely talented player, and an automatic first choice for us because he's miles ahead of any other option there. Yes, he's not Up There with Pelé, Muller, or Batistuta in terms of prolificy, but Maradonna has a career total in the 30s for Argentina, and Cruijff has about the same for Holland. Anyone care to argue that Robbie won't be in that band by the time he retires?

Defoe was in the running for the award and came second. If they thought he was better than Keane over the half season he played for them he would have won the award.Originally Posted by John83
You don't think having only half a season is a wee bit of a disadvantage in that competition? I rate Keane and Defoe around the same level, though they're totally different players.Originally Posted by Slash/ED

Little tip next time yer @ Lansdowne try and avoid getting a ticket for block's UW and UX in the East stand, it's got load's of us not true Irishmen in it.
I think i'll have to keep a look out for all these ingurrrrlish people who post on foot.ie that you've got no problem with.

Keane started in 38, Defoé 14, even in taking into account the 20 (I think) extra pre-Jan games Keane had, he still comes out as starting more games for them.
I think people should remember that whilst having short legs makes
if very difficult to score goals they are great for doing cart wheels.
A fact which appears to have been overlooked in this tread for some
reason, unbeknown to me

Didn't she ask you to stop talking with 'that scary voice of yours'? Dunno if that was the Laandaan accent or your automatic switch to Barry White mode - oh yeaaahhh! - when ladies get up close? There's a touch of the Frank Brunos (not Bluenose ) about your voice according to Coventry's answer to Benicio Del Toro. Know what I mean, hee, hee, hee?Originally Posted by sylvo
This is the cooooooooooooolest footy forum I've ever seen!
I want to explain what I said in my original message,I said that Robbie Keane is brilliant.The guy who said he was crap-his location is London-that is why I said no true Irishman would say Keane is crap because of all he has done for Ireland,fair enough he is not doing the best at the moment but he is competing with some top players at Spurs and he is the best striker Ireland has now so we need him.Again like I said I am not against English people,I have plenty of relations who are English.So I hope this answers a lot of your questions
So moving to London has made me less Irish and my opions less valid, you'd better not go on holidays then.Originally Posted by sligoman

Did they teach yer about emigration in school or were yer off sick that day.

There was no switch to Barry White I have to say was too interested in making the ground for the kick off, she did crack me up when she said that though.Originally Posted by lopez
