ericofarabia Posted 7 October, 2014 Posted 7 October, 2014 .... and in other news Bears really do sh!t in the woods.
sadoldgit Posted 7 October, 2014 Author Posted 7 October, 2014 I know that it isn't a new concept but having just seem some passages of his new book I still find it difficult that someone can put this stuff out there without any hint of shame or remorse. And people still employ this man?
pap Posted 7 October, 2014 Posted 7 October, 2014 Going to be the year's most quotable footy book. Liked this story http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/manchester-united/11144463/Roy-Keane-Cristiano-Ronaldo-joined-Manchester-United-because-he-made-John-OShea-look-like-a-clown.html
Colinjb Posted 7 October, 2014 Posted 7 October, 2014 His chilling assault on Haaland is surely one of the most despicable pre-meditated acts in the history of the game. Ending someone's career after they dared suggest you were faking an injury. Not out of proportion, oh no. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/manchester-united/11144315/Roy-Keane-insists-he-has-no-regrets-over-horror-tackle-on-Alf-Inge-Haaland.html Yet I am yet to meet a Manchester United fan who will criticise him for it.
Batman Posted 7 October, 2014 Posted 7 October, 2014 he is an utter gobshyte. legged it from the world cup, tried ending a players career. however, won the lot and was one of the best CM in his generation.
whelk Posted 7 October, 2014 Posted 7 October, 2014 The Robbie Savage quote is brilliant. Not into Footballer's autobiographies but if there was one I would read it would be his.

Except he didn't end his career, I believe Haalands career was ended due to his other knee. Don't forget Haaland played for Norway 4 days after that tackle. Still think the bloke is scum, just don't like lazy revisionist history.
sadoldgit Posted 9 October, 2014 Author Posted 9 October, 2014 I love this Hi its Messi here - whazzup?

Unbelievable Jeff Posted 9 October, 2014 Posted 9 October, 2014 Entirely fair comment. To be fair, that comes across a lot ****tier than I meant it to. Apologies.
Colinjb Posted 9 October, 2014 Posted 9 October, 2014 To be fair, that comes across a lot ****tier than I meant it to. Apologies. No worries mate. It's easy to lose context on these forums.

Which reminds me, does the bearded clam mention his part in United's hilarious 6-3 defeat at The Dell? Getting himself sent off with two bookings in the first 30 mins? 1st one was a trademark Man U one for arguing with the ref, 2nd one a trademark Keane over the top tackle. Or how he showed a distinct lack of class and respect for SFC and it's fans after Man U effectively sent us down in the last game of the season, goading fans with a thumbs down sign and big grin? Loved the prawn sarnie rant at the Plastic Man U fans though!!
CB Saint Posted 9 October, 2014 Posted 9 October, 2014 We should merge this with the KP thread, keep all the c**** together in one place
the saint in winchester Posted 10 October, 2014 Posted 10 October, 2014 I know that it isn't a new concept but having just seem some passages of his new book I still find it difficult that someone can put this stuff out there without any hint of shame or remorse. And people still employ this man? Agree. This man is still "in the game" so should be charged with "bringing the game into disrepute". And made unemployed. Agree with OP's 2 word summary - charmless psychopath.
Sour Mash Posted 10 October, 2014 Posted 10 October, 2014 I know that it isn't a new concept but having just seem some passages of his new book I still find it difficult that someone can put this stuff out there without any hint of shame or remorse. And people still employ this man? I've not read the full book yet, and he's obviously a bit of a C**t, but the quotes I've seen so far cracked me up. God knows what the current players and staff he's working with will make of it and how much they can trust him.
KelvinsRightGlove Posted 10 October, 2014 Posted 10 October, 2014 Did anyone see the bit about him talking about the size of Man Utd colleagues cocks? I mean, really? Wtf is that about?
sadoldgit Posted 10 October, 2014 Author Posted 10 October, 2014 Bless him, certainly a man out of time. Perhaps someone ought to explain to him that it is 2014 and that things have moved on a bit. Then again, I expect he would just hit them.
Turkish Posted 10 October, 2014 Posted 10 October, 2014 Some great quotes, i find him very amusing and honest, even if he is a bit of a c*nt “It might seem strange but you find out about characters when you look to see who’s in charge of the music. A young lad might want to put on the latest sound; an older player might say: ‘I’m the senior player’ and put himself in charge. But I noticed none of the players [at Sunderland] were in charge of the music and this was a concern for me. A member of staff was in charge. I was looking at him thinking: ‘I hope someone nails him here.’ The last song before the players went on to the pitch was ‘Dancing Queen’ by Abba. What really worried me was that none of the players – not one – said: ‘Get that **** off.’ They were going out to play a match, men versus men, testosterone levels were high. You’ve got to hit people at pace. ****in’ ‘Dancing Queen.’ It worried me. I didn’t have as many leaders as I thought.”
sadoldgit Posted 10 October, 2014 Author Posted 10 October, 2014 Just read a piece by Dwight Yorke when he was at Sunderland when Keane went into meltdown. Later when Keane left, Yorke sent Keane a text saying he was sorry about how it had ended up and wishing Keane all the best. Keane responded with f**k you.
sadoldgit Posted 10 October, 2014 Author Posted 10 October, 2014 Did anyone see the bit about him talking about the size of Man Utd colleagues cocks? I mean, really? Wtf is that about? Where did you see that?
KelvinsRightGlove Posted 10 October, 2014 Posted 10 October, 2014 Where did you see that? I really can't remember. It flashed up somewhere. Something about GNev having a 'button mushroom' and Nicky Butt having a monster. I havn't read the book, so it may well be fake. In fact, I suspect this may actually be fake. I'm not brave enough to google it on the work computer either tbh.

scotty Posted 10 October, 2014 Posted 10 October, 2014 I can honestly say that I genuinely hate roy keane. And there are very few people I even dislike much.
Goatboy Posted 11 October, 2014 Posted 11 October, 2014 Quality player. Deep down, just a dirty, tinker throwback.
whelk Posted 11 October, 2014 Posted 11 October, 2014 Couldn't disagree more. He is refreshing and is unable to give anything other than an honest answer. Like that he calls him Ferguson whilst everyone else fawns over him.
hutch Posted 11 October, 2014 Posted 11 October, 2014 There's something rather poetic that we have a Roy Keane thread started by a sadoldgit.
sadoldgit Posted 11 October, 2014 Author Posted 11 October, 2014 There's something rather poetic that we have a Roy Keane thread started by a sadoldgit. Are you insinuating that I am a nutter Hutch?

Like that he calls him Ferguson whilst everyone else fawns over him. Honesty is good. It is what he says and the way that he says it that worries me. The bloke clearly has a screw loose and comes across as a deeply unpleasant character. Good for a laugh though.
hutch Posted 11 October, 2014 Posted 11 October, 2014 Are you insinuating that I am a nutter Hutch? Heaven forbid
sadoldgit Posted 11 October, 2014 Author Posted 11 October, 2014 Just as well, I don't want to have to give you a kicking
Wade Garrett Posted 12 October, 2014 Posted 12 October, 2014 Does he mention Justin Edinburgh goading him in the FA Cup Final with 'come on then, come on then, you f*cking Irish c*nt'? He did nothing. He tried to whack Shearer and missed, leaving Shearer laughing at him as he got his red card. He was a great player, but is nothing more than a playground bully picking on the little kids.

Love that footage of him ranting at Shearer whilst he didn't take a backward step. Remember hearing an interview with Keith Gillespie about the little set two he and Shearer had whilst on a preseason tour when he offered Shearer outside and promptly got ironed out, said it was a big mistake, he was a tough man was shearer, reckon he'd have done Keane.

Keane doesn't seem to think he is the hardest physically. I listened to the full Football Focus interview with Kilbane and just think man is a superb. When you compare his interviews with a typical footballer like Wilshere, Lallana etc. I actually want to hear what he says as he doesn't appear to say anything other than what he thinks. And he has such anger.
