Keane slams modern-day players

His attitude as a player aside, he's exactly what sunderland need.

Ironic that he and Niall Quinn had issues previosuly and are now
working very successfully together.
=

He's proving to be a fantastic manager so far. His measured approach is spot on and he knows he's got a long way to go before he'll accept any plaudits.

I predict he'll be a manager for many years to come.

At least you get no whingeing or flannel from him.

once a bitter always a bitter as my mate says:roll: Keano is a legend if only there were more like him in the game today football would be a better place.


and how does that address the issue of you getting your facts wrong??

fecking muppet!!!
 
Even in the dressing room afterwards, I had no remorse. My attitude was, **** him. What goes around comes around. He got his just rewards. He ****ed me over and my attitude is an eye for an eye.

legend


you're absoulutey right, thats the way forward, lets just rip up the "good friday agreement" and go back to blowing each other to bits!!!


never heard such bollocks in my life, you really are fooking retarded aren't you? fooking pikey fookwit!!!
 
jonny i've finally worked you out. you deliberately act like a twat to see how many people bite on it.

having said that, you do a fairly convincing job of the act

I wasnt joking the guy is a legend and one of the best footballers of my generation. To compare a football tackle to 30 years of bombing is a bitt over the top in my book. You talk about legends like pele, moore etc. You wouldnt even have got booked for keanes challenge in their day!
 
To be fair, I'm with Johnny. Well, not entirely, the way you make your points is shocking, and that's coming from me. And your general attitude really makes me dislike you.

However, Haaland made bad tackles to Keane, hurt Keane, potentially could of ended his career and more importantly, gloated to Keane while he was on the floor. Keane did the same, only Keane's had alot worse consequences. Now I obviously would not condone a tackle such as that, but personally when I play football and someone goes out to deliberate hurt me, they get the same treatment, if my treatment is worse, your fault for playing that little game. I know for certain, if what happened to Keane happened to me, I would act the same way, only be slightly more tactful and maybe less harmful.

Keane was a legend of a player and one of the best I've seen in my lifetime, whatever his personality. I personally don't like him at all after his Shearer spout, in which Big Al destroyed him. 8)

Also, I don't agree with his statement at all, footballers should not devote their entire lives to football and I can't understand people who move to all sorts of locations just to play football. They have wives who need to enjoy a good quality of life, the same as us mere mortals do. I would not move to Sunderland for a job, no matter how good, so why should they ? The wives are part of their lives and should they leave their friends, families, life behind just to satisfy them, no.

Alsooooooooo, whoever said Puskas, legend, Eusebio, legend, blah blah blah. If you have ever seen more than 30mins footage of players like that I'll give you a tenner. The standard football fan response is to reel off all these names and say they were the best ever when they know nothing about them. In reality, even the best players from years ago, say Pele, would barely make the Premiership these days compared to the likes of players like Rooney. You take Pele, probably trained 4 times a week maybe by playing a few games of football and doing some fitness. Probably eat okay but didn't care too much for it, his talent was all he had and he would do nothing to build on it. You take Rooney, probably swooped from a pitch on a Sunday morning at around 8 years of age, since then been in the peak of physical fitness a man can be, eating right, having the best injury care, facilities, education on how to play. Pele didn't have a chance competing with that...

Where do you want to send the cheque?:roll:

A teacher in our school was from Hungary and as well as going on a trip to Hungary where we went to the Honved stadium, I watched a number of Ferenc Puskas' games thanks to his video collection. Not only playing for Real Madrid, Honved but Hungary (captain) and he actually represented Spain later in his career as he qualified from residency. Top scorer in the national and European chanmpionships.

(Edit: He scored 512 goals in 528 appearances 8O, that I didn't know!)

I lived in Holland for 6 Months as a teenager and so saw loads of the Dutch 1974 matches as well as Ajax games (also on video or tv re-runs) so can speak with some knowledge of how instrumental Cruyff was in raising the standard of play in the Dutch national league and international side.

Happy to go on about Best, Moore, Pele Eusebio, but in summary these players were legends in their own time, Keane didn't have half their skill and resorted to intimidation, thuggery and violence to win.

Legend? No

R u crazy!! rooney better than pele, and he would barely get a game in the premiership! i used to eat drink and sleep football, now i barely watch it at all. the game has gone to the dogs its a none contact sport, grown men diving like ballerinas,new rules which the refs nor the players understand. everything keane says is right and them players of old would mop the floor wit todays players.
 
No one has actually made any point here. Except, that you've seen a video of Puskas. Nice one. Google is an amazing thing isn't it.
 
Thought the point of having seen more than 30 minutes footage was made pretty succinctly...

Also saw more than enough of Keane to be pretty confident he doesn't qualify as a legend..

(I also accept paypal....)

yeah I googled "cnut", "bell end" & "turd fondler" just now and you came up!!! have you been working on your optimisation??
 
As a Sunderland supporter I'm made up Keane's in charge. He may not be a legendary footballer as per convential wisdom, but there's a decent chance he'll be a legend at Sunderland. (in other words preventing us getting relegated:lol:)
 
I personally would like to think I would "let it go" if someone did that to me in a game but on my last tiff like this the player in question spat at me and opened up my leg so I made sure he left the field on a stretcher...he was that hell bent on causing me damage self preservation had to come in to play.

I could have done worse but I backed out at the last moment just enough to deliver the message.

IMO Keane was well over the top in his challenge. There are ways of looking after yourself without ending someones career.
