Roy Keane

Not open for further replies.

In Roy Keane’s first season as manager, I won a competition for a stadium tour and to meet David Connolly, but he was unable to do it so it had to be Dean Whitehead. Anyways, he came down all suited and booted but was looking a bit agitated.

I asked for a quick photo, and he looked at his watch and said “Yes, but quickly. I’m a minute late.” He had genuine fear in his face. He gave a quick thumbs up to the camera and bolted off.

The lad showing us around the stadium said even if you’re a minute late, Keane is fuming with you and gives you a fine.

I always thought it was bollocks, but when you watch that Keane & Richards driving thing at Christmas, you can see how annoyed Roy is when waiting. :lol:

And thick women too. I find it sad that there are 3 or 4 copies of other papers like The Independent, The Guardian and The Times. Maybe 6 or 7 of The Torygraph and there are 2 separate piles of Daily Mails for the "readers" who go to the shop in my village. For many that is (they have told me) their only vista on the world. Deliberately no exposure to other news outlets or other people's opinions. The power of the newspaper owners is incredible and the owners of The Daily Mail exploit this.

I see the same in my village. The Daily Mail. The paper of the bitter and twisted.

If Keane isn't appointed, we'll just have to move on with whoever they choose, but the SAFC board need to have a thick skin if it doesn't start well.

When Martin O'Neill was appointed, many thought we finally had the Manager the fans wanted and who could do well, and he did start well but it couldn't be sustained, and it didn't last as long as should have.

Anyone coming in will have a 4-month period of a free hit, unless they can't even make the play-offs. Keane is one option I could see who would actually get us through via the play-offs. His experiene of big games would be invaluable.

But like everything in life, you take what comes your way.

So if the new manager doesn’t start well, the board will have to be thick skinned unless it’s Roy Keane. What if the new manager doesn’t start well and it is Roy Keane.

I’m just gonna put this out there. Tin hat on: is he gonna be our Rafa?

An age thing? Simply put, the Mail's outlook probably appeals more to one of the few demographics who still buy newspapers.

Its all about discipline, if you can't meet a simple instruction to be on time for anything. How can you be expected to be disciplined to follow the more complex instructions of a game plan and tactics?

There will be fines for being late, even if it's for just one minute. I read yesterday Lampard is fining the Everton players £1000 for every minute they are late.

The fact the club haven't come out and tempered expectations is a good thing.

Hopefully today's the day.

They have in a way though. A few journalists reported last night he still hasn't even been interviewed and others are still being considered. It sounded like they all received the same line from the club.
