LeeCovFox Posted 22 February 2009 Posted 22 February 2009 I have always respected Roy Keane for his ability and spirit on the football pitch, but the comments he makes here about Clive Clarke are disgusting: http://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/sport/1883...Sunderland.html
Unit Posted 22 February 2009 Posted 22 February 2009 ut-oh. I feel this will be fairly big news. Keane = ****
Fox You Forest Posted 22 February 2009 Posted 22 February 2009 What a ****. Man U's next manager some were saying.
Guest Posted 22 February 2009 Posted 22 February 2009 That's ****ing shocking. What a complete toss-piece
Unabomber Posted 22 February 2009 Posted 22 February 2009 That is fooking unreal. What a cock grabber.
teblin Posted 22 February 2009 Posted 22 February 2009 Was just going to post that article myself, couldn't believe what i was reading. Nothing suprises me with him though.
Kilworthfox Posted 22 February 2009 Posted 22 February 2009 Full Interview I dont see that what Keane actually said was that bad? Yes the Clarke comment may have been in jest but is was out of order, other than that, he is just having his say.

purpleronnie Posted 22 February 2009 Posted 22 February 2009 Yes it was a silly comment but I like him at least he doesnt trot out all the normal middle of the road derge that most managers do. But people with opinions are looked down on for some reason. Weird.
Flynny Posted 22 February 2009 Posted 22 February 2009 You can guarantee only the controversial stuff has been left in there.
Simi Posted 22 February 2009 Posted 22 February 2009 I'm all for people in football speaking their minds but I think this is a bit below the belt. Anyone that was at the game should remember how they felt for one of OUR players after many thought he'd died, for Keane to say something like this is very disrespectful to Clarke's family and Clarke himself.
Guest Bilo Posted 22 February 2009 Posted 22 February 2009 I had huge respect for him as a player but as a man and manager he clearly does not have the class that made him one of the Premier League's most respected players. Long may his spell in the football wilderness continue with this attitude.
dandannieldanok Posted 22 February 2009 Posted 22 February 2009 Hated the bloke as a player and a manager, not surprised by this type of comment.
Thracian Posted 22 February 2009 Posted 22 February 2009 I'd take Keane anytime over the fence sitters and bullshitters. Keane is one of the few who have the courage to say what they're thinking and to cut the diplomatic crap. So he had his views on Clarke. Big deal. Lots of people work together and don't get on. Doesn't sound like Clarke was too hot on Keane either. Sometimes I think Keane is right, sometimes quite the opposite. But the bloke was a bloody good footballer. He achieved things and football, like all sports, needs personalities. Whether you like em or not.

Whether you like em or not. he may have had his views on Clarke as you say but joking about one your players who was basically dead 10minutes ago shows why he will struggle to make it as a manager. There is a time and a place for things and to joke about someone who has just had a heart attack and fighting for his life is pretty sick in my book

Stick two fingers up to free speech and make every sport look like it's full of blank-minded clones, each one monitored by the image inspectors for failings and each one completely devoid of personality as a result.

I can think of at least two supposed work colleagues over 40 years who I'd have happily watched jump off a tower block roof. Sounded to me as if Clarke and Keane couldn't stand each other. Why should Keane be obliged to be pretentious about it?
BlabyFox Posted 22 February 2009 Posted 22 February 2009 Sorry if this in my previos post - not showing on my shitty pc.
The Reverend Posted 22 February 2009 Posted 22 February 2009 I'm with Keane on this one - Clarke went out and told the media he had lost the dressing room - that is a huge thing to say, and starts the media, fans, chairman etc to start to doubt the manager - Keane said in jest that he's surprised they noticed he had a heart attack because he obviously didnt rate him. I know which one i thinks worse.
Uncle Albert Posted 22 February 2009 Posted 22 February 2009 I would love to drop an elbow on Roy Keane, he is a total twat. Never liked him as a player and then to go and manage a scummy team like Sunderland just made him even more of a cunt.
