I can take it but that guy was in the wrong "my friend" and for the record I apologised to the guy because he, incorrectly assumed I accused him of being a a racist,info Keane is still and always will be a c**t. Why? Because he's thug, with a high opinion of himself, walking out of the Ireland camp during a World Cup supports that. Next? And as for your comment that it doesn't matter to you in the slightest, you're making a hell of a fuss for someone who does care either way, no? As dfor refelecting on the poster, suggest you take a look at your back catalogue.

What does having a high opinion of yourself mean? It's obviously wrong as PD has implied. Would it be better to have a low opinion of oneself? I think not, though I'm open to PD explaining why it's important in terms of his judgement of Keane.

He's not going to Celtic anyway

Keane v Haland is a dubious one, it was a nasty tackle but Haland was already carrying an injury. In Keanes Bio it is stated it was revenge for Haland injuring Keanes crucuiate ligament some 4 years previous (United v Leeds) although Keane has stated his Ghost Writer added that bit (FA didn't accept that and gave extra 5 game ban and ?150,000 fine)

Do I like the man (not that any of you care!!!) No, as PD stated a thug

I mean he's an arrogant thug who seems to think he's better than those around him. His action in walking out on the Republic of Ireland because, if memory serves me right, he felt that the facilities provided such as hotels and flights weren't to his liking or up to his standard. That is breath takingly arrogant. Surely the pride of representing his country would have overridden such trifles? And the tiff with McAteer says a lot about the man.

I'd be pissed off with Jason after this. I'd want to know the truth.

Alan, do you not think it was very arrogant of him to walk out on the Republic a few years back becuase of his perceived lack of quality flights, accommodation,and as a result of his falling out with McCarthy? Would pride for representing your nation not override such matters?

[Jah Lush]

Did anyone watch the Germany v Cameroon game the other night? A 2-2 draw. Very impressed with Cameroon. Pele once prophesised that one day an African team would win the World Cup. I think the climate in Brazil could be a real advantage to any team from Africa. Be good if one did in Pele's backyard. Make a change from the usual suspects and really brighten up the World Cup finals.

What are the odds on that?

This was written after Keane decided to stay. It's worth a read. What happened next was at a team meeting the manager brought up the article and asked Keane to explain certain things in front of the squad. If it wasn't for that Keame would have stayed but waving a red rag in front of him lit his short fuse and from all the accounts I've read he exploded into a 10 minute rant. Given the complex character Keane is, it probably wasn't McCarthy's best move unless he really wanted to get rid of him.

So all in all, I don't blame him for walking away.

On a lighter note I heard McAteer tell a story of what happened after the rant when Keane had left. It was completely silent for a while then McCarthy asked the group if anyone had anything to say. I think it was Dean Kiely the 3rd choice goalkeeper who put his his hand up. Yes Dean. Boss,if you need anyone to play in midfield I'd be happy to.

Lampard is a dick

True - he's got a rival in Milner though.

And the England defence.

Lambert, Ox and Barkely looked good for a while - don't mind losing the ball by trying to run 'em, always go again but they need like-minded support (they even woke Wilshere out of his coma for a spell)

Lampard just needs a rest say, 5 or 6 weeks.

Anyone know the point of having Flanagan and Stones come on as they're only on standby?

Lampard needs to be shown the door on the evidence of last night. And yet that august publicaton the Sun gave him MOTM!! What fcuking game did they watch? Ox was MOTM for me, Rooney was non existemt, Smalling and Jones were found wanting again and again. Woy obviously didn't do his homework, Ecuador have a good record coming into this competition and the England camp totally underestimated them. God helps us when the likes of Suarez,Cavani, Balotelli, Pirlo etc face up to us.

Ok I have never heard of Ronny Deila who is now fav for the Celtic job. Who he ?

[Jah Lush]

It doesn't matter who he is. Any bugger could manage Celtic, even you. One team league blah blah blah.

I can understand a Spurs fan thinking in such a parochial manner Jah but we are a European club and think outside our own league occasionally.

Oh dear this isn't going to end well is it?

[Alan Medic]

I think SB forgot one:

Celtic 2 Inter Milan 1

[Parkdrive]

And also Celtic 0 Arsenal 2

[StraferJack]

So Fabregas wanted Arsenal, but Arsenal have ruled out a move for him

Hope that doesn't bite us on the ass

A result from 1967 is going to help them attract a well-known manager now? Strange.

SCSB. It's wonderful that you have arranged to be alerted when I post. I have never felt to popular. You can follow me on Twitter too if you want.
