Roy Keane: assault or over enthusiasm?

[jjimm]

OK, thanks for the cite, and I concur. Though I do think this comment means that he hasn’t “jumped on an Anti-Keane Media Bandwagon, in a bid to revive his career”, nor is a “golddigger” - and his nasty-piece-of-workness doesn’t exclude Keane from that title.

The story about Keane calling McCarthy a "English ct" were untrue. Most likely IMO spread by a FIA person to bolster opinion for McCarthy. Keane did say ~“You’re a crap manager, you were a crap player and I don’t like you”**

I presume that’s the story according to Keane/Dunphy. Having been on the receiving end of anti-English sentiment from (thankfully) only a couple of your fellow countrymen over the years, I didn’t dismiss the original quote so lightly - because it was phrased so accurately.

**Well, I was Keane captaining Ireland and Celtic, so Man U can GTF! **

Maybe when Keane is 35, and no longer able for the hard slog of Premiership Life, and fancies only three or four big games a season against Rangers, then he will go to scotland and play for a few seasons for his beloved Celtic, Keane needs a challenge, and Scottish football can never provide a challenge up to the standards Keane demands.

Oh, and another thing, Scotland can keep the Old Firm, the last thing the Premier League needs is two bunches of religious bigots.

Keane said it never happened but he the other quote that I mentioned.

As for my lovely countrymen, all I can say is there are Irish c**ts as well

Surely the cite proves both these points beyond any reasonable doubt?

This is the story from the Kenae/Dunphy book, you’re right, but I doubt if Keane did call McCarthy an “English C**t”, how long do you think he’d last at an English club with that kind of attitude…a club where an English man(Gary Neville) is so listened to in the dressing room?

Well it’s my opinion. I support Manchester United and no other. I dislike the fact that Manchester United players play for any international team, be it Ireland, England, France, Argentina or Holland. . **

And you wonder why people take against Surrey bloody united!

Aliens law (local variant) or Spurs/Arsenal.

And yes you stick the old firm up your b*llocks!

No, because he makes it clear that his injury wasn’t from Keane’s foul.

Here’s the alleged quote (cleaned for GD)

Who the fck do you think you are, having meetings about me? You were a crap player, you are a crap manager. The only reason I have any dealings with you is that somehow you are manager of my country and you’re not even Irish, you English cnt. You can stick it up your b*llocks.

The version from Keano’s book is pretty much the same, except it replaces the nasty stuff with “And I don’t like you.” Yeah, right.

Not without a full medical history establishing, at least, three evidential components:

(one) - a direct causal link (‘on the balance of probability’) between

(two) - specific damage suffered

(three) - over and above what naturally flowed from the consequences of implied consent (within the context of the sport)

It seems there were intervening acts (later injuries), so the causal link is an issue.
– or summin’ approximate to that.

The comments in the cite were made in the week of the incident in May 2001…Haaland has come out this week and said he was going to take a case against Keane for for injuring him, that was this week…

and if this doesn’t prove that he has

then I don’t know what does.

[jjimm]

Yes, but is he actually suing, or is it just media speculation then?

He surely couldn’t sue having said what he said in print.

[glass_onion]

“There were also some false reports attributed to me today claiming that I will definitely not be taking legal action”

This is a quote from the same website where I found the previous cite. It is from Haaland, he says the reports that he WONT be taking legal action are false, and that he still may do so.

Personally I think that with this injury to his left knee, and the Keane tackle to his right one, he won’t have a leg to stand on:smack:

Keane’s book extract (about the incident with McCarthy) can be read here for those still interested.

Plese explain?

[TwistofFate]

here we go.

International football is a joke, as illustrated by the fact that a team like the USA can be in the top 10 of international teams.

The US have a very good international record They play very well as a team. It’s not that pretty sometimes but their record speaks for itself. They are a good team, and if they can get out of a qualifying group in the world Cup itself, they are a good team. As for Fifa Rankings, I take them with a pinch of salt.

[TwistofFate]

BTW, next time you want to label me as a religious bigot for supporting Celtic, please take it to the pit.

ISWYDT. I see what you did there.

[glass_onion]

OK, I’m sorry about the Bigot thing…truly sorry, I realise that it was a generalisation, and I am sorry

According to the Telegraph today (and no doubt the pikey papers too) RK did NOT submit the book for formal clearance by MUFC, but gave it to Ferguson to glance at.

The FA are also saying that as he got the usual unfeasibly light manyoo style three match ban they can’t charge him again. Bah!
