Who is that trying to rip the red card out of his hand?

Having read Keane's version of events in the new book, it's clear he takes these sort of (revenge) tackles as part and parcel of the game. And he is of of the opinion that his fellow pros agree.
He claims that the tackle on Haaland was always about laying down a marker of sorts. A verbal and physical response to Haalands heckling him a few seasons previously. He claims he never set out to injury him and if he wanted to do so he could have. Professional players know how to tackle hard without inflicting serious damage.
It was a hard, heavy handed tackle and he deserved to be vilified for it, but he's done his time on that one.
I have huge regard for the guy and I would be loath to see him as a psychotic thug, so I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt on this one.
Just starting the book and it's already clear he won't be pulling punches. Which I'm glad of. Too many footballers biographys paint a glossy boys own club picture, unwilling to offend anyone they might run into again.

There is very little Roy Keane could do to have himself removed from the hero status that I hold him in.

I'm in the same boat! Still have a United shirt from 2000 with GOD 16 on the back!

Tbh Keane needs to let go of few things. He can't for some reason.

Its a pity , cause he is meant be super family man, never forgot his family and friends and I know he has done some nice touches for people in past when asked and he never wanted it shouted out loud.

He visited Temple Street hospital quite a bit and couple I know work there can't praise him higher.

But he does at this time come across as right Langer.

Got the PDF version by today so don't have pay for it. Hope get reading it Sunday.

Keane would always divide the room on his opinions,I would be a fan of his just because of the way he played,every game had to be won no matter how big or small the competition was,if Roy was playing you would be gaurnteed he would give 100% everytime,

I can see why some people would dislike him,maybe he speaks his mind too much and always seems to have a gripe about something,

But for me thats what makes Roy Keane the great character he is there is never a dull moment with him,when he speaks people listen.

Like you I can see why people hate him

He is the football equivalent of Marmite

RVP won a very soft penalty and tucked it away beautifully

Not sure if this has been posted already but thought I would share it. It's an article on the telegraph is hinting that UEFA are considering making FFP more stringent in regard to the accumlated debt a club is in which would have repercussions for us. Where a club in breach of the allowed accumulated debt will be punished. Will be interesting to see how this pans out as it will effect the likes of Real Madrid and Barcelona as well. Might just mean that the Glazers have to put more of our income towards the paying off the debts.

It wouldn't be in UEFA's best interests to bring in something that mostly punishes Barca, United and Real probably the 3 biggest clubs in football

Manchester United will sign Wesley Sneijder for free in January according to the Metro.

The Netherlands international says he has not been paid for three months which means he can leave the club for nothing in the next transfer window.

Does this story ever go away?

Lord TSC

So we have Rooney, Mata barely able to play, Januzaj benched full time, Kagawa just shipped out....but we're going after another high earning #10?

It's been said before and it will be said again,

Sneijder must have made a deal with the devil for great footballing ability, the only catch was every transfer window he had to be linked with United.

It seems that's a story papers just run when they want to fill pages and have nothing else!

I can see sneijder arriving but someone will be sold methinks maybe use mate or rooney as a bargaining tool to sign a big name.

But both Mata and Rooney are better players than Seijder...

I reckon they are like everyone who didnt go to college, pretty normal, but with lots of money to do what they want and learn what they want,so essentially, probably smarter than their peers.

You dont really hear that about GAA players or rugby players.

Bit late with the reply but heard recently that Glen Johnson is studying for a maths degree
takes all sorts, stereotypes...

Mata has a degree in Journalism from Spain and studied Sports Science and Marketing in London when he was with Chelsea.

you could do with proofreading your post before posting especially when its questioning someone's intelligence.Grammar:eek:

Rooney hired a tutor at aged 22 to help him pass GCSE maths and english because he didn't get them at 16.

I didn't question anyone's intelligence. I was questioning the medias perception.

Also, my grammar is fine, it was the syntax because I was posting and dropping the kids off at the pool.

So maybe learn more about English and then you can make smart arse comments without burning yourself.
