    Roy Keane on Football Interview

    The most sense I`ve heard from a football pundit in many a time, although he would prob not class himself as that.

    15 mins it takes but well worth it, you may not like the guy but you just need to listen to what he says.

    Couple of good points player power over manager, Chelsea signing Juan Mata.

    Is it just me or has he mellowed out a bit?

    I gather he was going on about how the players have all "gone soft" and how he wants to see more "nailing people".

    No surprise there then... :icon_mrgreen:

    But I guess I do fall into the category of thinking he's a bit of a *...

    Perhaps if we had a few more *, we'd cease to have a team of losers.

    Would you prefer a team of *?

    That was the Walter Smith mentality after all.

    Personally I'd rather be Celtic. :50:

    The amount of talk about * in this thread worries me.

    I said, a few. And Roy had a whole lot more about him than any player under Smith.

    Oh sure - I don't mean to imply he was just some sort of talentless zoomer - he was a very good player too. But he was a zoomer. :56:

    Roy Keane was/is a total *, no respect for anyone who goes out to hurt someone on purpose. I will probably get slated but im not bothered.

    The bold Roy refused to even acknowledge Andy Goram whilst at Old Trafford.

    Not a bad guy in my books.

    Here’s the extracts from the Pig’s autobiography is anyone is interested.

    You can't deny, like him or not, that Roy Keane was a winner on the pitch.

    You need someone who puts a bit of fear into the team. Strachan was always on about how his Celtic side had a fear of losing, and that's what made them the side they were.

    We could do with a bit of that right now. A bit of pride in performance, and a bit of fear.

    Whatever you want to say about Roy Keane good or bad he was a winner as a player and he tells it as he sees it. Enjoyed reading how he reacted to the pig when he was at Old Trafford.

    I loved Keane as a player but I wish he'd never come to Celtic.

    I suppose you might be able to make an argument for him that he is a genuine Celtic fan but I always got the impression that he was just using us and us using his name. It never sat well with me. Apart from that, he was finished as a player.

    I love that story about the Fat Cross Dresser. I've heard all the stories from Huns that he thinks of himself as a bit of a hard man and I've always boasted that I would put that to the test if I ever met him. Well, I have and I didn't lol.:52:

    I got married in June this year and the new Mrs DixieDixie and me spent our wedding night at the Glasgow Hilton Hotel. In the morning we went down for breakfast and sitting next to us was the African looking guy and what looked like his wife and small kid. A couple of minutes later, who came to join them but the Fat Cross Dresser himself.

    '*' Perfect' says me loudly. The wife gave me a 'shut it' stare and I just continued to eat my breakfast raging that that c**t was sitting next to me and I couldn't say anything else.

    To be fair to the missus, she laughed at it soon afterwards so I got off the hook.

    Yeah. If you don't include the appointment of John Reid as the club chairman, I'd say that's the signing that I've been least happy with in the time I've been watching the club.

    Absolutely world class footballer, hard as nails but a * coach/manager and a terrible pundit as well.

    I think he has a point, was wrong to ridicule fans though.

    I’m sick of this Irish mentality that we’re a bunch of * up Paddies who are only there to make up the numbers.
