Otta Posted April 20, 2016 Author Share Posted April 20, 2016 I just can't help but think his ego will be his downfall as a manager. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/35029-football-focus/page/261/#findComment-988554 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Mac Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Darren O'Dea with some observations on Roy Keane's management "He's a very good manager," O'Dea said."At a club like Celtic he would be under massive pressure, something he's lived with his whole career."After moving on-loan to Ipswich in 2010 from Celtic, the Irish defender sampled first-hand how Keane operates."I was very impressed with him in my time at Ipswich," O'Dea told BBC Radio Scotland's Sportsound programme."He's portrayed in the media as a real tough guy which he certainly is, but he's got a very articulate manner about him as well. "He's a very witty guy, he's funny. He's good company and he's a very good manager. All the sport science in football, he's very clued up. Probably the most knowledgeable guy I've come across in football. He knows football inside-out, watches all types of football. Darren O'DeaO'Dea played under Keane during a spell on-loan at Ipswich from Celtic"Of course there that's streak, he's a guy you wouldn't want to cross. When you're doing your job and you're doing it well he'd be the first to say well done, but likewise if you're not and he feels that you're not giving 100% he'll be the first to tell you."O'Dea, capped 20 times by his country, feels Keane will have benefitted from a spell working alongside Martin O'Neill as assistant manager in the Republic of Ireland set-up."He wouldn't have done it with many other managers and he's probably learned a lot from Martin O'Neill as well," O'Dea continued.

Alan Medic Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 United v Everton reminds me of the most enjoyable final I was at in 85. Moran sent off and Whiteside with a great and unexpected winner. Those were the days when the FA Cup was special. It's a shame the 2nd semi-final clashes with a PL game on TV.

Jah Lush Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Another reason for me to hate Chelsea more than I already do. I expect they'll roll over and let Leicester beat them on the final day of the season. We have got to give them the hiding they deserve next weekend.

Parkdrive Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 To be fair snake Fabregas said the same think when he was a pundit on sky last Monday night, and I know I'm stating the blindly obvious here but apart from Spurs fans, everybody wants Leicester to win the title.

Otta Posted April 24, 2016 Author Share Posted April 24, 2016 Chelsea were always going to give you everything they have, and I am sure they'd love to beat you and effectively end your hopes. But if the title isn't wrapped up by the last day (which it may well be), I still can't see them rolling over.

Can't put my finger on why though. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/35029-football-focus/page/261/#findComment-990305 Share on other sites More sharing options...
red devil Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 After listening to that incessant clackety clack din that Leicester fans make, I wouldn't be that bothered if they didn't win it either, they can shove those cardboard clappers right where the sun doesn't shine...sidewaysBring back the Vuvuzela, all is forgiven...

Otta Posted April 25, 2016 Author Share Posted April 25, 2016 It's just the whole nearly relegated to (possibly) winning title a year later, which makes the Leicester story so good.Usually I'd be cheering Spurs on in a big way, but it's just unfortunate foe them they've clashed with Roy of the Rovers.

maxxi Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Spurs have been top 5 or 6 in 8 of the last 10 seasons so when the usual 'top 4' conspire to fook it up and Liverpool still a work in progress you'd expect TH to take advantage - them being there or thereabouts is not a surprise. They're building well and will have another shot next season but I doubt Leicester will. I'm rooting for Melchester.

Jah Lush Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Didn't take our chances tonight. Hit the woodwork three times. As far as the title goes that's it. We won't catch Leicester now. Fair play to the Baggies for not heading to the beach early.This is a very good young Spurs side that will be all the better for the experience they've had this season and will be hungrier to go one step further next time round.

Mick Mac Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Predicted prize money table - makes interesting reading (Leicester will get less than Spurs etc due to the facility fee) http://www.totalsportek.com/football/premier-league-prize-money-table-2015/ Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/35029-football-focus/page/261/#findComment-990466 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Leicester will lose more than once out of the remaining games. Hopefully, Spurs will win at Chelsea on Monday night. We've not won there since 1990. Need to change that statistic.

Parkdrive Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Will the families finally get justice, I doubt it. I wonder if any of the families will take legal action on the back of this decision. Very sad that they've waited this long to have vindication that they were right to carry on in the face of adversity to seek out the truth. Their dignity during the years that have elapsed has been exemplary.

Otta Posted April 26, 2016 Author Share Posted April 26, 2016 Very glad that this has happened for the families. Not at all surprised, couldn't imagine the jury were ever going to come back with anything other than what they've come back with, although interesting that it was a split jury on the biggest question.

Depends what they see as justice. For some it will be this verdict, nothing more. For others it will be further legal action...
