Thumbs Down Mr. Keane

Keano, what's the score? Keano, Keano, what's the score? Brilliant.

Is it really that brilliant? I mean, something original and imaginative would have possibly been brilliant. I thought Keane got off quite lightly compared to the likes of Phil Thompson a few years back.

People finally coming round to realising that he is a first-class bitter c**t?

 

Some people have always thought that.

 

In terms of his personality, at worst you could describe him as evil, generally you could describe him as nasty, and at best you could describe him as boring.

 

As for his football management skills...ha ha!

It was actually, when you consider more people were singing that than OWTS, at least where I was (Itchen). It felt brilliant. Simple as that.

He's quite handsome in an Irish scallywag way.

 

no he ain't , you wouldnt believe how happy i am to see him leave St. Marys with nothing, he had no reason to give us the thumbs down on the last day of that season other than the fact he is and always will be an arsehole

To compare RK with the Iranian leader is so far over the top.

I have mixed views on the man, but no one could argue that in his prime he was one of the best british midfielders of all time.

Not sure whether you think the Iranian leader or Keane was one of the best British midfielders, but Ahmadinejad is about as British as Keano :)

 

Actually if you listen to Keanos interview on the BBC what he actually said was "didn't deserve to win and probably didn't deserve to lose either", which probably (based on not being there myself) was just about fair (allowing also for Keane being biased as you would expect). Even Pardew admitted we were outclassed in MF yesterday.

 

I agree Keane is knob, but there are plenty of things that could be used to beat him, but his match assessment yesterday was really quite balanced IMHO.

He's from Eire, he's therefore Irish.

 

England, Scotland, Wales = British

Eire, Northern Ireland = Irish

 

We live in the "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland".

 

We live ON the British Isles, of which there are many many islands and a term disputed by many. Much like the French call the English Channel, Le Manche, or whatever term they use.

 

It's not difficult.

Correct its not difficult........ Northern Ireland (Ulster) is part of Great Britain. Republic of Ireland (Eire) is not British. Roy Keane is from the Republic of Ireland and therefore not British.

 

Whereas George Best was from Northern Ireland and really was one of the greatest players to come from Britain. Colin Clarke and Ian Dowie were also from Northern Ireland, not quite sure you would put them in the same bracket as Georgie Best however!!

No it isn't.

Republic of Ireland. Not british.

Northern Ireland. British

 

hth

 

I'm going to argue this both ways :

 

The British Isles includes the Republic of Ireland, and Northern Ireland for that matter. So (very) arguably that's a definition of British.

 

However, even Northern Ireland is not "British" but it is part of the UK, as evidenced by the full title "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland".

 

If NI was part of GB it wouldn't need to be mentioned separately, would it ? It's not called "the UK of England, Scotland and NI", is it ? (Before anyone starts, Wales is part of England as per the Act of Union which is why it doesn't have a separate legal system and isn't represented on the Union (Jack) flag, and don't talk to me about the bloody Assembly).

 

But anyway, Roy Keane is a bit of a bell-end.

may I suggest that it would be unwise to call Roy Keane British (to his face anyway)

 

I quite like Keano, he wants to win even if that means being a nasty c*nt.

 

I don't like that he took pleasure seeing Saints relegated, but I can kind of understand it from his point of view - We were a Utd bogey team, with a prawn sandwich munching chairman, who seen staying up as an achievement.

Ulster is made up of 9 counties. 6 of them (Antrim, Londonderry, Down, Tyrone, Armagh and Fermanagh) are in Northern Ireland and 3 (Cavan, Monaghan and Donegal are in Eire).

 

N Ireland is not part of Great Britain but is part of the UK. When you apply for a passport your are given a BRITISH passport and that is the bottom line. George Best was therefore British and, while opinons on greatness can vary, I would like you to nominate better (bearing in mind the poster used the words "one of the ..."
