lol sorry mate i didnt read the thread and i was bored at work

Personally always have a lot of time for Roy Keane. Brilliant player and while he dished it out he never complained when he had to take it.

:o A little kitten died the second you pressed enter there Tim.

The only reason I can think of to hate Roy Keane would be that he was too fucking good and was just about the only central midfielder on the planet that could go toe-to-toe with our Paddy and live.

If you look up cunt in a dictionary you´ll see a big fat picture of old Roy. That´s a reason.

Good player or not, tough to respect a man, or should i say, tough not to despise a man who goes around looking to end players' careers and then crows about it in some book.

Haaland! Lol! Got what he deserved. Take the piss out of Roy Keane as he gets stretchered off the field with his leg in bits you're gonna catch it up at some point.

Was Irish?
What's happened to him?
He's from Cork, that explains a lot :angel:

(Waiting for qs to attack 🙂)

Keane was way worse than Van Nistelrooy in my humble.

He deserted his country in the middle of a world cup, he's utter scum.

Yeah, RvN was basically a horse-faced, high-scoring cheating arrogant tosser.

Keane on the other hand was a sociopathic, narcissistic and homicidally violent wind-up merchant.

I think that's about right in relation to Keane Burnwinter, apart from the homicidally violent aspect.
Not sure he'd actually kill anyone.
He's a very dark character with very few friends.

Yeah, take out the homicidally and replace with dangerously I suppose.

Keane's relationship with Niall Quinn's certainly an odd one.

I cant work out where some of you are coming from tbh.

You knew what you were getting with keane. He'd dish it out, usually to the oppositions toughest player(s), and he'd take it right back without moaning. Sometimes he overstepped the mark, just like every central midfield hard man does at times, but he was generally pretty straight forward. If you kicked him he'd kick you back, usually a bit harder. Nothing wrong witht that, it's British football 101. He was the last in a long line of great, tough British/Irish central midfield enforcers.

RVN was a diving, play acting, 'run his studs down your knee when the ball has gone', 'leave an elbow in your face for no reason' coward. Keane was a pretty selfless team man whil Van Nistelrooy was completely selfish and consumed with his own glory.

The big difference is that Keane was clearly a psychopath.

You are so wide off the mark with Keane Tim it isn´t even funny. Utter scum.

Whatever. At least I've explained what it is that I respect about Keane the footballer, rather than just throw silly labels around.
