Sent home for being a Prick.

i’m amazed by the amount of people who say roy left saipan. he was told by mick to fuck off. okay he may have been out of line with the manager, but the situation was created by mccarthy. why not speak to him in a one to one situation? the article in the irsh times seemed pretty tame to me. i read nothing offensive or objectional in it. what was micks issue? both of them took a stance and neither were prepared to back down. which, considering the way the results went at that world cup was a real shame. keane seems to say whats exactly on his mind, regardless of the outcome. ferguson knew that, and it strikes me that the manner in which he left old trafford was very similar to his departure from saipan. seems to me alex gave him more than enough rope.

He was sent home!
That’s what McCarthy said in the press conference.
That’s what the FAI said at the time.
Jeez!

He should have held his counsel many a time.
He’s Roy Keane though, so that’s just not him.
Sometimes Roy is hard to love, but that makes me love him all the more!

Up the Rebels!

Fair enought Steve. But there were a lot of factors to Saipan and his walk out did lead to the Genesis report which had done a lot of good – and remember we wouldn’t have even been at the World Cup if it wasn’t for him. There were times when he was playing teams by himself.
He apologised at an Ipswich Town meeting when one of the fans told him his out burst against Delaney and etc ( originally on Sky) was embarassing.

And he has since apologised for saying what he said, even though there is a grain of truth in there, we should never have been even playing that match, we should have already qualified. So he can’t even stand by his convictions?

Personally I’ll never forgive him for not having the professionalism to play for his country in what was arguably our best chance to get to the semi finals of a World Cup ever. He walked out on the team and his country and as far as I’m concerned he doesn’t even deserve to have his opinion on this matter voiced.

We get it already. The FAI let you down. Mick McCarthy let you down. And in response, you let an entire country down. Great example there Roy, when the going gets tough, quit!

So, Roy; how’s the managerial career going? Wait, you’re not in the premier league? You’re not managing Man United yet? Or sorry, I thought you actually had some substance to back up the fighting talk. Go learn your trade and get back to us when you’ve won some credibility, will ya? And please get over the fact that John Delaney didn’t phone you back in 2002 after your hissy fit. Twitter it if you have to, post in on your facebook wall, whatever; but stop behaving like a fucking tweenage girl. Do you ever wonder why nobody’s afraid of you anymore?

Brilliant Mark

We heard the line of the decade on tonigh’t programme on Ireland.

Joe Duffy finally caught up with one of the “dead” grannies.

And he asked her how did she feel when she read that she was dead?

“I felt very nervous Joe,” she replied……..

Priceless
