    Now Alan, you know I don't wear womens clothes, so you could say "No".

    We both know i post naked.

    Maybe you are just a more closed off person then Roy is, or I am. If I was asked a question about the state of Irish football I'd answer it. If i had an interest in GAA and was asked about a situation in my home county that was BIG BIG BIG news in my home country, I would answer it.

    Roy Keane is an insanely private man, i doubt he is longing to "open up" with the media. Someone ask him about Alf Inge Halland and i'm sure he wont be as talkative.

    Yes.

    England winnign the rugby world cup - commented on by most english based managers at the time.

    SCORE 1!

    Besides, so freakin what. Roys only reason for being at a press conference is to answert he questions the media put to him. If it happens to be on the state of the Cork County Board, and Roy Keane can answer teh question and give his opnion, why not just answer it?

    There is a slight difference between an English based football manager giving a standard congratulation to an English side and an English based manager criticising the FAI and the GAA.

    From a simople media management point of view he should know better than opening that can of worms and absolutely not be offereing an opinion on how organisations he has no involvement in run their internal affairs. Especially when he is wrong.

    But if you were in RK's position you shouldnt. Thats the point. A Sunderland press conference is not the time or place for 'what Roy thinks about life'.

    I'd actually love to see him asked that question. I'd love to see him go on a rant about how the media and fans seemt o think he ended Haalands career, when Haaland himself admited that the knee Roy disgracefully took out actually healed up ok, and it was problems his other knee that forced him to retire.

    Roy has always been frank of forthcoming with his views. Hell, he was kicked out of old trafford because of it. I suppose i could spin it and say Luis Garcia deliberately ended his United career with that deliberate foul in the last game Roy played for United.

    The media would seem to disagree.

    So you didn't want me to answer the question you asked me with a perfectly legit answer. Why did you ask so? The English based maanger you refer to also captained his country, is seen as one of the better players to have played for ireland and is from the county the GAA story is in relation too.

    The media disagree because everytime Roy Keane opens his mouth to them its giving them quality sound bites slating everything. He needs to learn to shut his mouth and talk about football only. and football only that concerns him. Like maybe how he spent, wat? about 40 odd million? and is still struggling with relegation......its all about deflection away from the real issues for him.

    And the fact that you are comparing Luis Garcia tackle to the Alf Inge Halland one is absolutely hilarious.

    Delaney is a plank of the highest order but this is the first sensible thing I have ever heard out of his mouth.



    Why the fvck does roy keane feel the need to give a running commentary on football in this country when he clearly didnt give a fvck about it when he had the chance.

    Good for them. They love it when Roy lets rip as they have a story. That does not mean he should oblige.

    Again, just because the media ask him a question does not legitimise whether he should oblige them with irrelevant soundbites, or in this case a minefield he should have the with not to step into.

    He is attending those press conferences in his position of manager of Sunderland AFC not as former Irish player or Cork Gah fan. It is obvious he needs media training or a better press officer at his side.

    1: Believe it or not, my handle here isnt my real name.

    2: This is a forum for random opinions on various football related issues. A sunderland press conference is not.

    3: Roy Keane has previous with the FAI, my internet name does not.

    The issue is threefold. One he was wrong. Secondly he should have other things to worry about than giving a running commentary on other teams and indeed sports. Thirdly he should have enough cop on to stay out of FAI politics.

    Tauren, have you heard any other manager answering questions about other sports at post game press conferences?
    Regardless of what you say it's still hypocritical. And also, who makes you judge and jury on who can have an opinion on what?

    Anyway, I think Keane's Sunderland appointment is a master plan to buy as many Irish players as he can and then when the FAI come looking for the players for an International fixture they'll all have acquired mysterious injuries! :D

    at some point during all of Keane's daily or weekly press conferences he is asked about irish soccer.He gives an answer which is never complementary of the fai as expected and for some reason its a story.
    Just stop putting in it the papers or the journo's stop asking the questions.
    We get it,keane doesnt like the fai,big deal

    Yeah your right, messy debate but it just annoys the fvck out of me to here him make comments all the time.



    I am definately not a Roy Keane fan but I must say I have been really really surprised by this. I really didnt think he was the sort but its pretty sickening to hear him make his snide, vindictive, childish, unprofessional remarks about football in this country and thats coming from someone who thinks the FAI are a joke.

    Firstly, I think we are all in agreement that Delaney is a muppet.

    Secondly, I'm sure Keane is more than happy to talk about anything other than Sunderland, their players and their results. As we all should know, managers jobs are not just about picking the team but also deflecting criticism and letting the players get on with their jobs.

    I'm sure Keane doesnt give a rats aass what Delaney has said, in fact he's probably happy as means less column inches about his players.

    Finally, I'll always hope that we get the best manager for the national team job. Personally I dont think Trapa is that man but I really want to see him do well. I'm of the opinion an international manager should be a good motivater as well as a good tactician. No matter what went on in the past, If keane works on the 2nd skill I'm sure he could do the job in the future.

    Where did I say he is not entitled to an opinion? All I'm saying is that aside from the fact he was wrong about the FAI process, it got us Traps, it is inapparopriate for him to be commenting on the inner workings of the FAI, nevermind the Gah, while on the clock at Sunderland.

    As such, Delaney is dead right to tell him to concentrate on his job rather than criticising the FAI, and he has the moral authority to do so in the context of a job well done.

    Er, no.

    If Keane has no place commenting on the FAI, gah or any other subject that isn't Sunderland, then by the same token Delaney should shut his mouth about Keane. It doesn't matter that "he started it" or whatever other bolloxology, if keane should shut up, then Delaney ahouldn't be commenting either.

    Des. You are wrong about this. Hatred of FAI and Delaney is ruling over common sense.

    Common sense?

    Sure, Keane doesn't have to comment, but by the same token Delaney doesn't have to react.

    That's all I'm saying.

    Are you telling me that Delaney should react?

    I'm saying Delaney has a right to react when Roy is constantly attacking his organisation from across the water.

    Similarly, Keane would have a right to comment if Delaney had started slating Sunderland from over here.

    Delaney is an ass, as are the puppets below him. Having secured a top class manager they go and make a complete fu?k up of the announcement, Delaney and O'Brien were not singing off the same hymn sheet. Delaney was caught out on a lie, he said the contact was in Nov, whereas it was clearly Oct 07 whilst Stan was still there in theory ! Keane was right to slag them off, personally think Sunderland will stay up too.

    im not sure about this...keane was correct in what he said imo, but i dont think he was "right to do it", altho i also think delaney is using this as a distractor to his ineptitude as an FAI official!

    I think bringing in a world-class manager to the job might have done a good enough job of that for the moment.
