Hatch99

I know im biased, but anyway , thanks for everything Robbie, you gave me some great moments while you were at the lane, top man, fair play to you and good luck in the MLS.

His hat-trick v Everton, the equaliser v Chelsea, his goal at city when i was behind the goal trying to get on to give em a hug , legend....

Cheers Robbie, Spurs and Ireland legend, they don't come better than that! 91 league goals in the PL is a phenomenol return, hope he keeps banging them in!

keane=cock

also disappointed to not be able to watch him week in and week out in the prem.

robbie keane, love or hate him his record is up there with the best strikers in the league(12th all time premier league scorer if im not mistaken)

best of luck robbie, you will never be forgotten by the white hart lane faithfull

Thanks Robbie for all the good times, a legend in my eyes. Remember that goal at Highbury where he just stood with his hands in the air in celebration for a good minute while all the goons went nuts at Davids hahaha. he scored some fantastic goals alright, against Leeds back at the start of his Spurs career, the ones against Blackburn, Chelsea, the two volleys against Fulham. Number 1 is Robbie keane, Number 2 is Robbie Keane.......:D

Robbie keane mark I: Thanks for everything that you did at the club, you made it exciting watching during the mediocre seasons of struggling to 6/7th place in the league and the added bonus of you being from tallaght.

Riobbie Keane mark II: thanks for fullfilling your 'boyhood' dream and going to liverpool before returning to us and taking 60k sterling a week for being brutal...
glad your gone to be honest as you have done nothing since the carling cup win.

Daidy2011

Robbie thank you for your sterling service to Tottenham Hotspur Football Club. I for one think that you will be a loss to us this season. I wish you every success in LA and hope that you can come to to an accommodation with them so that you will continue to be available for Ireland.

I still can't get my head around the way he enigineered his move to Liverpool , his boyhood club or was that Celtic? I forget.

He'll be remembered but not missed at WHL.

This really pisses me off. The amount of times people spout this. Do you not know anyone who has supported Celtic and another English club? Cause i know quite a few. It's a pretty standard thing for a lot of people these days.

Harsh. If that's the case, 3/4 of the squad are guilty as fcuk.

It is for me too. I didn't say I was happy to be play for Spurs for the rest of my career 2 months before begging to be let leave for Liverpool however. Robbie did this and I will never ever forgive that. Fair play to him he has done well for himself and well for Spurs in his fiorst spell but if he just kep his trap shut about certain things there'd be no issue. 2008 he had finally made it to teh big time as a Spurs player only to decide he was too good for us.

Now its always been his dream to play for the Galaxy apparently too.:rolleyes:

Same as i said to previous poster, this is a 'thank you robbie keane' thread, so if you want to slag him off go do it somewhere else. Now that i think about it there is plenty of Keane bashing on the soccer forum so maybe that is a good place to air your views?

Best of Luck to him. He has had a great career.

Scathing attack on him in today's Irish Indo though..

Dublin Spur

Good luck to him.

I remember when him and King were our only decent players (2002-2005)
He saved our asses on many occiaisons in those dark days.

He's not been up to the required standard for 2/3 years, glad he's moved on.

Seems like a good move to all involved. Thank you to a Spurs and Ireland hero. Hope you keep on banging in the goals for both club and country.

Agree with Dublin Spur entirely. Robbie as a very good player for us for a number of years. Lost a bit of that pace in the last few years so not good enough anymore for a team chasing a top-4 spot. His departure might allow us to bring in a young, hungry striker (a la Daniel Sturridge says he hopefully)

Overall, thanks for the good days and best of luck to him in the US. Hope that he continues to do the business for the national team

Its always been his dream to play in the MLS, you cant blame him for wanting to follow his dream. LA Toblerone ha

In 2008 Ramos wanted him out and when Keane knew this he was happy to move to one of his boyhood clubs
Anyway all academic now. I think in time to come he'll be recognised as a very good Spurs player. his record speaks for itself. Best of luck to him in LA

Wendell Gee

Thanks Robbie, simple as. Apart from anything else, in a decade when he was ireland's one top, top player, he was a Spurs player, that mattered to me.
Also, he never stopped trying. In the second spell, he actually scored 15 goals in 34 appearances, some as sub. Not bad, eh.
He also set up Pav's vital goal away to Young Boys. I'd like to haveseen him with Pav a bit, they seemd to get each other.
He won supporters player of the year three times- no-one else in recent memory has.
Of course he should never have left, and he definitely should never have come back. Harry only bought him back because Defoe got crocked, and thge risk of relegation was too great. He paid dearly for the coppers party- no forgiveness, for whatever reason. IMO, he would have been better to stay and fight his corner at Liverpool, he might have ended up winning them the title that year. A really good career, spoiled by a few badly timed moves, and a bit too much of thepointy shouty bs, but when focused- wonderful.
Only Sheringham and Klinsmann and Archibald and Crooks rival keane and Berbatov in my affections as a strike pair, and he will score anothjer bunch for Ireland.
Thanks

Apologies for the appaling spelling above, very tyred, no tried, no tiered, , fck it, I'm tired. Night all.

I'll never forget Robbie Keane last minute goal against Germany in the 2002 World Cup. I was working in Superquinn at the time, the canteen was jammed and the place went mental, it was crazy looking back. I was up with a few others dancing on the pool table. Great memories.

If he plays the next round of qualifiers and a few frendlies he could in theory hit 60/65 goals before he retires. That would well have him in the top 10 of all time goal scorers at international level. Shocking to think that people give him such a hard time.

I refuse to post in the soccer forum due the general trolling, idiots and fúckery that goes on but I was overjoyed last night. So happy for the likes of Keane, Dunne, Given to get at least one last chance on the big stage.

It's interesting to compare Robbie with Brian O'Driscoll.

Same age, both captains of their country, both record scorers in both their sports, both with high profile wives.

BOD can do nothing wrong it would seem whereas Robbie is always open to criticism.

Football is a bigger sport with far more fans, thus far more opinions.

Plus, a lot of Irish fans (like us) support English teams. So when they have their United, Liverpool or whatever jersey on they will give stick to other team's players and they will always compare them to their own Rooneys, Drogbas or Shearers. That comparison is then brought to Lansdowne Road when the United fan knows what Rooney would do in a certain situation and expects Robbie to do the same.

In summary, BOD is a big fish in a tiny pond. Robbie is a medium sized fish in a massive pond.

Though, I choose not to listen to begrudgers. Robbie's international goalscoring record speaks for itself.

Thank for the memories Robbie!

Big Pussy Bonpensiero

In fairness now, BOD was world player of the decade if I remember correctly, they don't even compare. Robbie is a legend, for Ireland & Spurs, but BOD will go down as one of the all time greats in his sport.
