Keano


He's a down to earth human being from a working class background. You can never take that from a man/woman.
Good on ya Roy.
I'm packing in work at the end of the month and I'm starting off volunteering with Foodbank for 1 day a week and see where it goes from there.
I will probably still have to do a bit of paid work in between to pay the bills etc (anyone have any casual work going let me know) but I will volunteer as much of my time as possible.

Fair play to you.
 
He also buys Cork Boys Club, who he played for as a young 'un, loads of kit and accessories every year.

He once called Quinny 'Mother Teresa' as all his [very worthy] charity donations were well publicised whilst Royston's are very low profile. 🤣

For me he's up there as one of the managers that's made supporting the lads a pleasure.

His views on the Skunks takeover will be interesting.....

What's that like as a dog marra?

More like a lab but a bit smaller. 90% of the people we meet think she’s a young labrador, and ask how old she is, expecting an answer in months rather than years. But next to a full lab she is not as broad in the face and body. She’s exceptionally friendly and good natured. Spaniel energy - she is ball mad and has a natural instinct to pick things up and bring them to you. She doesn’t have that “food at any cost” gene that some labs have.

But crosses differ more - you can’t be sure what mix of the breed traits you’ll end up with.
 
Upbringing always out-weighs the money in the bank. Good on him. I am sure this is a small percentage of what he really does to help. Folk who are that way inclined will do a lot more than anyone really knows or is publicised.

I have a weimera cross chocolate lab. She looks like a slim lab. Deffo has the food thing. We joke if we are ever late home she will have eaten Niall (small lurcher)
 
I saw Keane acting like an arse in Nottingham when he was a young lad. Took a long time to change my view on him but there’s a lot to like. Flawed certainly but an interesting and essentially decent bloke.

I am getting an otterhound puppy in January

Don’t see many of those. Nice dogs, must be costing a few quid but nice to see some rarer native breeds instead of “ designer mixed breeds”. No offence to owners of said breeds, just a bit ubiquitous.

Only 350 born last year, I think its a reaction to me getting a lurcher, which I expected to be a big hairy fucker, and has turned out to be like a whippet :).I would post a pic but its just beyond my comprehension on here.

When I move back up there in February it is a detached house, probably just as well as I quite like this :)

Love whippets but if you’re expecting a shaggy deer hound or wolf hound cross then they’re not quite going to hit the mark. My hound sounds like those three, never barks but regularly sings.
