Roy Keane
Saturday, 21 November 09, 07:44 AM · Comments (44)
With barely twenty five hours until kick off it seems almost rude not to slow down and have a good gawp at the twisted train wreck that is Roy Keane.
Once he was a great footballer. No two ways about it. Barely a week in football passes without a fan of one team or another uttering the words, 'What we need is a Roy Keane'. But just as Gazza nibbled away at his reputation every time he was snapped off his nut on Blue Nun, Keane devours his own on the pitch achievements every time a microphone is put under his nose.
Let's get a few things straight. For all the huff and puff and bossing around on the pitch, Keane is a big lacy kicker wearing, girlie bloused, yellow belly coward off of it. For all the poker face and fixed grimace he just can't cut the mustard in a world without grass under his feet.
World Cup anyone? Roy says the training facilities weren't up to scratch. I say you got the same deal as the other nations but they didn't bottle it. You turned your back on your country Roy. You ran away. Simple as.
Believing his own hype he moved from Manchester United to Celtic. Presumably this was a specific marketing exercise in the way of flogging jerseys, mugs and their like. After all, his stay with the Green Men is hardly likely to be enshrined in anyone's memory as one of the great epochs in the history of football. His leg hurt or something. And he hobbled away.
Then of course we had the Sunderland fiasco. He couldn't have had an easier ride. Despite a scatter gun purchasing tactic, he had Niall Quinn as the Club's 'enforcer'. He get's one call from one of the nicest men in the world, asking for an update and what does he do? Strops off out of it. The fact that they were playing Manchester United in their next game had nothing to do with it of course.
And now, as time runs out on his latest botch job - or Ipswich Town as they are commonly known - we get what must surely be the maddened death throes of a man who personifies 'damaged goods'.
Enjoy the clip HERE... and please, do wait for the bit where the journo's mobile goes off.

This space is reserved for pointing out the bleedin obvious, like this is a Tottenham blog etc etc etc....
HH, I think it would be timely to do a piece on the Bindippers v Citeh game today. Those two are our rivals for 4th this year, and looking at the game I'm not scared of either of them. One point each looks perfect too.
i saw football focus earlier,
and while i didn't see the henry/irish game and to be honest i don't care if ireland are not at the world cup in the slightest,people cheat,we cheat,they cheat,we all cheat cheat,
i have to say i agree with Motty and Keano and anyone who treats the media like the total bunch of c*nts that they are is alright in my book....
anyway Come on you Spurs.......and Burnley
way to go burnley.......
You know, Keane has makes a few good points that I can sympathise with. Firstly, Ireland did have chances to wrap it up, and they bottled it, not least our PSB. Secondly, and I say this as a man who's spent the last years of his life living in Ireland both south and north of the border, there is an underdog and a 'hard-done-by' culture that it's about time Ireland got rid of. It's a great country, with a great culture and a great history; it doesn't need the underdog culture anymore. It rears its head in the random hatred some Irish people have of everything English. I think there was dignity in making the point, and dignity in withdrawing and saving the world from a certain level of hysteria that robbed their cause of a little credibility. Yes, it was unjust, yes, it was damaging to football, but it always does good at these times to reconsider what injustice really is.
Some of the extreme racism and bile that went Henry's way is little more than a complete loss of perspective and the idea that it's somehow justified to wish death on Henry because he cheated in a football match shows little more than a complete loss of perspective.
Polemic, I know, but just saying Keane has a bit of a point.
For the record, he also has a bit of a point on the mobile phone issue. It's kind of rude, and god knows if I were a footie celebrity journalists would hack me off. But then the world has little time for politeness these days
The trouble is, all this was undermined by the bitterness that ran through that interview. His hatred of certain men at the FAI, and the idea that somehow 'what goes around comes around' justified what happened the other day was just bizarre.
It was a shame that the making of valuable points was obscured in the ranting of a bitter, waning has-been.
I can only thank Roy for coining the phrase 'Up your bollacks!' which he remarked to Mick McCarthy in 2002.
He should say it more often.
I think everyone should.
Well...
I've seen and heard it all this week.
I pay BSkyB plenty for the package they offer.
I've got two points to make to them.
Tottenham Hotspur are FOURTH. Top four.
Secondly, I am fed up of watching cheating footballers.
I pay BSkyB.
BSkyB pay FIFA, EUFA and the Premier League for games we all want to watch.
BSkyB should DEMAND technology improvements.
What is my point?
Roy Keane feeds off scraps.
He wouldn't have been interviewed if we'd had proper technology.
Bog off Blatter and Platini.
The betting industry MUST use its weight, too.
C'mon Hull!!!!

Gotta love these mind-numbingley boring Keyboard toughboys!
I would, along with the rest of this blog's bent appreciation society, like to offer my most heartfelt congratulations to benty for despatching woolwich this afternoon. 3rd highest premiership scorer behind torres and Pavlyach... ahem... sorry, I mean drogba. Obviously Pav would have been 2nd if only 'Arry 'Idon'tknowhowtojudgeastriker' Redknapp knew what he was doing. And what with the puddle and abu dhabi doo doo drawing it's been a good weekend for the Hotspuds.
All we need to do now to make it all count is beat wigan; I'd give Keane the whole game.

I tell you what Vickey that Harold Hotspur is one lucky bastard, having someone like you commimg on to him, chasing him from blog to blog, you've obviusly got it bad love.
A jealous Yid cunt, he's a bit of a boy, that's as good as an offer of a shag for me and to save you the bother of asking I don't care if you are pre-opp.
Looking forward to some filthy reply.

You were deleted on the grounds that you're a horrible bit of dog muck. The fact you challenged why your nasty comment was binned only serves to underline my opinion of you.
This may be a timely moment for you to check the Terms & Conditions of your Agreement with your Internet Service provider.
You won't be the first w*nker to have daubed language that breaches that Agreement and wakes up to discover their pc doesn't connect anymore.
Now run along before I forget myself.
Good old Benty, hes done us more good since leaving than he did the whole time he was here!
Why are you so up in arms over what I have said? Looking back through your blogs I have noticed that you are one of the biggest racists I have ever come across. Pot calling kettle black springs to mind. Being an IT expert myself I have witnessed a certain regularities in your posting, that being that it is you who are the majority of faces on this site. I hope you are aware as I am sure you are, that this in itself is an offence. Just a friendly warning that your blogs can be looked at by oleole and your Internet Service Provider, and you would be in deeper waters then me old bean. Don’t come to a gun fight with a knife.

To Vickey Vixen:
I feel it only right to respond to allegations that Harry is donning several personas, as the comment you made was to me, not him. I am not even in the same hemisphere as Harry, I am in Sydney where the time is 09.37 Sunday (at the time of writing) and the weather is hot with the temperature expected to get into the 40sC. I am also logged on the local Spurs site Ozspurs (unashamed plug!)and am known by some of them personally.
By all means take Harry on, but be aware that if you are wrong, the legal system makes short shrift of mischief-makers; 'humbug' is the term that comes to mind. I would be delighted to come to the UK for a beano paid by you as legal expenses, to help Harry demonstrate what a fool you are and have that fact actually entered into the public domain via court record!
What intrigues me though Vickey is that of all the points I made regarding Henry, both as a gifted player and a cheat and about the ingrained culture of cheating at Ar5enal, you took no issue with anything, merely jibed vulgarly about something you have and abuse frequently, or something you will be lucky to ever experience beyond your web favourites, depending on whether you are a little boy or a little girl.
It seems fortunate that you have a career in IT as your abilty to earn money using written English appears limited.
well i know hh isnt me .
what a load of shite some idiots come up with to get attention .
I'd just like to say that I am actually Harry Hotspur.
Reply to vickey vixon:
You are making a lot of noise with no substance behind it.
Firstly you don't have the bottle to comment using a registered avatar so you must be scared of someone or something.
Then you just curse and abuse which suggests you are unable to put up any coherent or amusing argument, unlike other Gooners whose contributions we welcome.
Finally it all comes down to dear Thierry. I have this suspicion that the reason you deigned to visit us was that in your heart of hearts you know that Mr Henry was a great player but not a great sport. Many other players might have done exactly the same thing but the way he handled himself after the match confirmed what we've always known: he is an arrogant cheat.
Do you think the great Tony Adams or David Seaman would have conducted themselves like that ?
I think not.
Reply to onedavemackay:
Oh and by the way
I AM HARRY HOTSPUR
Firstly, even taking the time to reply to some of these morons that come on here is verging on the moronic.
Secondly, Roy Keane. What a bitter little man he is. What a sham of a manager he is. 'Manager'; it's in the word. This bloke can't manage to keep his vile and child like invective to himself for more than a couple of minutes. I'd be seriously worried, if I was his employer, exactly how this complete, self congratulating, farce of a 'man' would benefit my club.
It's obvious to all but Keane himself, that the media are taking the piss out of his pseudo traditionalist 'they don't make them like me any me any more' deluded self; hence the ringing phone.
This is a bloke so far up his own arse, there's not a hope in the world he'll manage to wriggle himself out of it and convince the simplest of souls that psychiatric help isn't the order of the day.
He's a thug and a cunt. The memory of Pat 'The Terminator' Van Den Hauwe kicking him over the hoardings at the City Ground, is one I savour.
Lastly,
BIOYWC!

Wow you've lived in Ireland, that lends your opinions so much credibility.......
Extreme racism? Show one example
Bile? Deserved
Hard-done-by? Consistently
Underdog culture? To be expected from underdogs....
Perspective? Oh yeah, I forgot, it's only a game
Reply to Tom:
Lived in Ireland meaning I've an affection for the country, not meaning I can suddenly pass off opinion as fact, which I didn't try to do.
Examples? I've heard and seen a few. LINK has a few examples though.
The call to boycott French goods in Dublin is another bonkers, some might call racist, move.
I was sympathetic; would much rather have seen Ireland in the world cup than France; I support all the 'home' nations. But my facebook page has been flooded with various anti-french stuff for days, and I'm losing the will to live. There is genuine injustice out there, the sort that costs lives and livelihoods. Let's move on eh?
I am Harry Hotspur!
No. I am an IT expert!
I am Harry Hotspur.
Though the signs where there before the downward spiral into the warped logic of El Keano gathered pace when he joined us.
As he plodded through games watching his new team-mates failing to grasp the basics and his knees / hips no longer up to the task of running the show he cut a forlorn figure in the Hoops.
I remember a game at Easter Road when Scott Brown tore him a new one. I remember thinking "Your finished son"
Management has brought him a new low. He can't find enough players who have the correct attitude (his attitude) and this causes his throwin' a hedgehog at squad lists management style.
No-one will ever be good enough for El Keano.
He won't get a job again unless we are stupid enough to give him it.
Don't laugh...I can see it happening.
Keane is a cunt of the highest order. He has no right to comment on anything to do with the irish team.He gave up that right when he left us in Saipan. he can fuck right off. giving it all "the ball shoulnt have bounced in the box" there are balls bouncing in the ipswich box every weekend and he will walk away from them like he walked away from every club he has been at.
