mozo Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Roy Keane Quote taken from the censored broadcast on MUTV...clearly though he's talking about our rabble:"The players have been asked questions and they are just not coming up with the answers."They have let down the club, the manager and the fans."The younger players have been let down by some of the more experienced ones - they are not leading. There is a shortage of characters."These guys thought getting new contracts was the best day of their careers. They think they have made it. They haven't."The fact that (senior players) are out should be enough incentive for those coming in to play better and give more."It is not enough to play well for 20 minutes, it is a 90-minute game."You get well rewarded but you have to put the hard work to earn those rewards." ...at least we're not the only ones eh!

Cideriup Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 I've never particularly liked Mr Keane but he's just gone up a lot in my estimations. Maybe we could get hold of the clip and play it to our mob or pin the post on the dressing room wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fodbarmyarmy Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 You sure this was Keane and Not Johnson?Maybe they are reading from the same "Things people want to hear" book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Red Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Does relate to city doesnt it?In a way, although in our case it's more a case of the senior players not being arsed thats the problem. Our problem is that we don't have someone like a Roy Keane who has the balls to point these things out. Most Man Utd fans are actually in agreement with what he says.

Most Man Utd fans are actually in agreement with what he says.He's getting criticised in the media for saying these things so publicly. I suppose it makes sense that he'd be better off dealing with the individuals face to face, behind closed doors after training. I still admire his honesty though, why should he lie?His comments were in stark contrast to "We'll pull through this together", isn't that right Marcus...

I still admire his honesty though, why should he lie?His comments were in stark contrast to "We'll pull through this together", isn't that right Marcus...Agree with you that his honesty is admirable. And in principle what he says is right.But he shouldn't be saying these things to the press, to the general public. As someone said on here, he's a great leader. I don't doubt it. But he's not saying these things as a leader. He's saying them as a player who's recently indicated he may leave Old Trafford and is currently watching from the sidelines.It would be different if he was on the pitch, leading by example. He would show real leadership by taking some individuals to one side in training and telling them a few home truths. But he hasn't done that. I'd like to know what his motives are. If I were his team-mates I might understand his points, but would wonder why he felt the need to undermine and embarrass his colleagues in this way.

rumbellow Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Viva Roy Keane I say, The main part of attack was on Rio Ferdinand, 120K per week and playing terribly for Manu and England and looking as if he could'nt care less, Why should he, After all if he never kicked a ball again he would'nt have to work.He should remember the way the club stood by him and PAID him after his drugs fiasco.

Rio looks absolutely rubbish at the moment, he doesn't seem to care. I just think Keane would have done himself more favours laying into the likes of Ferdinand in private rather than in the media.

What will they do when they retire at the grand old age of 38ish and have amassed well close to 40 million in the bank. So i don't know where you got the "never have to work" idea from!

CiderHider Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Roy Keane is a football God, along with Cantona....True Manc greats!!Druggy, Horse Head & Steopover kid are happy to take the money and play on their reputations, which are diminishing at alarming speed.We should sign Keane!

annanimo Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 We should sign Keane! What a thought! I think his very presence would spell an end to the lame performances we've recently got used to.He might even consider it if it would be a player-coach kind of role!!!????

Meanwhile he can see out the last couple of years of his playing career, providing that much needed bite in our midfield.Not exactly on the cards is it?
