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.

What he did to Haaland and his comments on it three years later in his biography certainly show psychopathic tendencies. I wouldn't have thought that needed explaining.

I didn't say he was a perfect human being, I said I respected him and have time for him as a footballer. As for Haaland, I have no sympathy. Got what he desrved.

Fuck you all! 😆

Seriously, if you asked Vieira or Keown who they respected more on the field, Keane or Rudd Van Nistelfuck, they'd agree with me.

😆

To be fair I didn't put Keane's name forward for anything, I just acknowledge that he is a psychopath.

I didn't put his name down for anything either. Never hated him as a footballer, had a grudging respect for his uncompromising nature.

As a character, I've heard him described locally as being just a pure oddball. I think that's quite accurate.

My mate worked with his sister in law - she naturally thought he was dead sound. Very generous to his extended family, patron of the Guide Dogs for the Blind charity 🙂

@Tim As much as anything, I probably hate him for being emblematic of United's greatest successes under Ferguson.

However, I personally loathe his sort. I'd much rather share a drink with a slippery customer than some cunt who might deck you for looking at him sideways, or burst out with a temper tantrum about how he's always hated you at any moment.

He was a bloody cunt.

Everyone please ignore Y Va, its well known that everyone in Cork worships Roy Keane. Even the gooners.

Anyway Roy Keane is a self obsessed hypocrite and one of the most despicable, violent cunts ever to play the game. He beat the shit out a teenage boy in park with a chain dog lead. Even United fans don't really love him, except the dickheads over here. He was a trouble maker for them and worst of all he acted like a spoiled brat for Ireland at a the World Cup finals no less. Now after years of harping on about the media he's a pundit. He was a failure as a manager.

And on top of all that he was the main man in a rival team of ours. If you don't hate him there's something wrong with you.

I could give a shit what he did or didn't do in a park with a teenager. If we're talking about stuff that's got bugger all to do with football then I dont see how any list could be complete without Marlon King, for example.

I'm talking about Keane as a footballer. I respected him as a top player and Arsenal opponent, somebody that played the game hard but pretty fair. No moaning, no nonsense, no bullshit.

Anyway, moving on, I think Ben Thatcher deserves a mention. There's a player that made a living just going around kicking people, quite often for absolutely no reason.

:o Et tu, Y va?

Tim, voting is over. There will be no more voting. YOU CAN´T COME UP WITH MORE PLAYERS AFTER THE FACT FFS!!!

Oh, and Roy Keane is a massive, massive cunt.

Why are you copying Burnsy Rex?

That´s Ex to you Gus!

Be nice to Gus or a nasty apple will bite me?

I was bored Gus!!!

I do not, never have and never will worship Roy Keane.
qs is badly misinformed.

The only players who I worship(ped) were Adams and Bergkamp and now maybe van Persie's getting close.

The only non Arsenal player that I looked up to was Zidane.

I worship very very few people.

Kevin Muscat too. Horrible cunt of a player, far worse than most on the original list.

(I'll do as I please thanks, Rexy. Ta for the advice though 😛 :glee🙂
