Sunderland is all about the "Roy Keane factor". The media even call the club "Roy Keane's Sunderland". He mesmerises a large section of the Irish football community. One of my best friends with whom I travelled all around the world supporting Ireland never went to an other Irish match after Saipan. If Sunderland had been taken over by Quinn with O'Leary as manager, it would barely have caused a ripple. When Keane moves on to another club, it will start over again with that club and the Sunderland jerseys will be put away or exchanged for the new club jersey.
I don't understand it myself but then I was always an Irish supporter, not a supporter of a particular Irish player. The Sunderland thing doesn't make me sick like the title of the thread states. For good or bad, Keane is an Irish phenomenon and wherever he goes there will be huge interest among his adoring fans. That's life. We like in a celebrity culture.
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
i think its the same as England and Shearer....
if he goes to say....Southampton,you will see their games on Match of the Day. best player in recent history,gonna get all the attention!
thats like saying every film or programme is entertaining! its a matter of opinion! going by your statement here then peope can never slate a game again. i wont go through your posts but have you ever slated a Prem game for being boring? ever?
The word competitive is the most important in my post.Not every premier league game is competitive.Some of the lesser teams are just going through the motions against top four teams and there are also mid-league games that are phoney wars.This has gotten worse since the same teams occupy the 4 champions league places every season(or nearly)It was not always this way if you look at records from 20 years ago you will see that the top four could contain different teams every year.
If you have two teams of roughly the same standard trying their damdest then you have a competitive game that should be entertaining imo.
Pretty sickening alright, my dislike for Sunderland has increased with the signing of Dioff and will even more so if the sign daddy dick, hope they get relegated but I can't see it happening as they have more more than all the other relegation candidates
Sunderland fans I have met tend to be a good bunch and have remained fanatical despite watching some awful stuff over the years.
The anthisis to the event junkies at Old Trafford,Anfield and the Emirates.
Until now.......because heeeeeeeerrrreessss Paddy.......
"I'm here for Keano and so are my kids,..he such a great guy,would never let his country down, would'nt do friendlies but that doesn't matter, turned the station because he was bored watching vital play off match in Terhan but thats what I love about him, always tell it like it is, loved that time he slapped Phil Neville around the lug for giving back chat, or Alfie thingys leg ha ha..did he think he would ever get the better of our Roy?, slagging Shay Given off?..genius
got publicity for Guide Dogs...Saipan? don't get me started...I get too angry..all McCarthys fault........ aw hes already a great manager...Stokes,Chopra,Halford,McShane,Ethutu,Ric hardson? They will all be legends once they settle in...Can't wait for our Roy to become manager of Man U so I can get back to supporting them...C'mon the gloriuos Mackems I love you until Roy leaves, Oh I love you Roy, you are our leader, we will follow you from club to club............as long as its not our own country...Hi could I have the toilet brush with the Tricolour and the Sunderland crest...£48 quid no problem..any official soap left?"
I see those bunch of wallies at Stadium of Light are giving the manager another 50million to avoid relegation this season. What division would Sunderland be in now if they had not been so generous (foolish)?
Havent been home for a while, was reading the Oirish Mirror and there was a columnist on Saturday, 'hes first with all the news from the Stadium of Light'. That is beyond reason. I can handle a few pages of Old Firm sh!te during the weekend but a column every week dedicated to Sunderland. Im sorry but I hope Sunderland go down. What sort of nation are we?
'Fascists dress in black and go round telling people what to do, where as priests.....'
Well lokking back on it now, that night saved our club. For that i am very grateful to the Sunderland connection.
