(also, Gerry, I don't need a lift tomorrow, thanks, other arrangements have been made already).

Sorry for derailment, folks. Erm, really, why would Celtic need him? We've already got one aging Irish defensive midfielder.

Mind you, headlines on Reporting Scotland just now "Celtic offer Roy Keane an open invitation". Hopefully just to sit in the stand.

To be accurate, we've already got one aging Irish defensive midfielder who gets up right the noses of the fans and players of every team he plays against

Heard about this earlier. Say hi to the new Irish manager as according to Joe Duffy survey today *sigh*

Oh, obviously the guy who embarrassed the Irish FA by walking out of the Ireland World Cup squad will be first choice to lead them to, erm, somewhere.

And the same paper says that Keane himself would favour going to the Toffees or Aston Villa.

That's the normally reliable Sunday People.

you all have got to watch this clip, Irish pundits going bananas over Roy Keane

"this is a man who doesn't showboat, like Niall Quinn!"

― Sororah T Massacre (blueski), Sunday, 4 December 2005 19:28 (twenty years ago)

The bit about Rod Liddle is astonishing.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Sunday, 4 December 2005 21:32 (twenty years ago)

Hilarious and demented.

HE STANDS UP TO BULLIES, HE'S A FAMILY MAN!

― Ronan (Ronan), Sunday, 4 December 2005 21:58 (twenty years ago)

he stands up to bullies

!!!

― cozen (Cozen), Sunday, 4 December 2005 22:00 (twenty years ago)

"He is a family man. He is a father to every child in the world, a husband to every woman. He never leaves the toilet seat up. He can run through a forest without breaking a single twig. Instead of arms he has gigantic double decker buses which carry children from remote areas to school. He once met Noel Edmonds on the street!!!!"

― Ronan (Ronan), Sunday, 4 December 2005 22:03 (twenty years ago)

Wow. This is fantastic.

― RickyT (RickyT), Sunday, 4 December 2005 22:31 (twenty years ago)

He goes and sees sick children in hospital!

― RickyT (RickyT), Sunday, 4 December 2005 22:34 (twenty years ago)

He's a class act! He's a gentleman!

― RickyT (RickyT), Sunday, 4 December 2005 22:35 (twenty years ago)

He is right about EVERYTHING!

― RickyT (RickyT), Sunday, 4 December 2005 22:38 (twenty years ago)

He turned me into a newt... I got better.

― Kv_nol (Kv_nol), Monday, 5 December 2005 11:51 (twenty years ago)

What do they say about Liddle? He's done lots of anti-Irish stuff in his 'column' so can imagine he isn't Dublin's favourite son.

― Dave B (daveb), Monday, 5 December 2005 12:15 (twenty years ago)

"Rod Liddle, a man who left his wife for another woman"

― RickyT (RickyT), Monday, 5 December 2005 12:43 (twenty years ago)

Truth be told I don't think I've heard any mention of him. I do like the sermonising from Dunphy. The man has no shame which is all to the good!

― Kv_nol (Kv_nol), Monday, 5 December 2005 12:54 (twenty years ago)

haha unbelieveably brilliant!

also yes niall quinn, everyone digging at each other, and "vieira fannying and flipflopping"

― hold tight the private caller (mwah), Monday, 5 December 2005 13:52 (twenty years ago)

btw does n quinn entirely write his own columns ot is it the usual secret "niall quinn was talking to" business? they r v impressive i think

― hold tight the private caller (mwah), Monday, 5 December 2005 13:55 (twenty years ago)

anyone see Quinn yesterday on Sky Sports, they asked him about Richard Dunne making that mistake to let Bent score, and he said

"Don't get me wrong, I love Richard Dunne to bits, I really do, but thought he could have done better there etc etc"

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 5 December 2005 13:57 (twenty years ago)

Keane seems set to sign for his "boyhood heroes" Celtic after a move to Real Madrid fell through.

Even tho I'm not remotely convinced of the wisdom of this move I still think it'll be awesome to see him run out in the hoops

― We Buy a Hammer For Dadaismus (Dada), Thursday, 15 December 2005 13:09 (twenty years ago)

It'll make for a happy dressing room, I'm sure.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Thursday, 15 December 2005 13:37 (twenty years ago)

I reckon Roy and Neil Lennon should run out together at Celtic Park, singing "Bring Me Sunshine" and doing that silly dance Morecambe and Wise used to do

― We Buy a Hammer For Dadaismus (Dada), Thursday, 15 December 2005 13:39 (twenty years ago)

I see Keane attracting the same sort of attention that Souness did in his first season in Scotland, to be honest (and with a similar disciplinary record, I'll wager).

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Thursday, 15 December 2005 13:48 (twenty years ago)

You beat me to it. This is Souness for Tims.

― We Buy a Hammer For Dadaismus (Dada), Thursday, 15 December 2005 13:49 (twenty years ago)

Quality press conference. Wee Gogs giving it "you callin ma mate a liar?" when asked if it was his decision to bring Keane in :-)

You have a reputation as an outspoken and honest player, how do you think your new teammates will feel about your arrival?
I'm sure they'll love me.

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Thursday, 15 December 2005 14:35 (twenty years ago)

three weeks pass...

If you are talking about the best-ever Premiership player, I think Roy Keane still shades it. But Alan runs him very close.

Alan Hansen in his bbc column today.

If he gets a chance after his run-out in the non-hoops on Sunday :)

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 9 January 2006 18:43 (twenty years ago)

Smart talking, Hansen.

What about Cantona? Zola? Or are we talking about attrition?

― adamrl (nordicskilla), Monday, 9 January 2006 19:33 (twenty years ago)

FWIW, je pense que Le Grand Eric est tres sous-estime'.

― adamrl (nordicskilla), Monday, 9 January 2006 19:34 (twenty years ago)

It's been said before, but why we should only evaluate players from 1992 onwards gets on my fucking knockers. It naturalises the schism of that year as somehow meaningful and important, when in fact it was just a greed-inspired landgrab that has diddly to do with the quality of players.

If you have to ask the question though, my money would be on Cantona too. He was utterly central to the winning of the league from 1992-97, and his influence on a group of players who went on to win another 3 titles and a European Cup is well-documented.

― Dave B (daveb), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 00:52 (twenty years ago)

Cantona or Henry.

Are you sure Alan Hansen isn't talking about himself?

― Dadaismus (Dada), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 10:23 (twenty years ago)

I was waiting for that.

― Sororah T Massacre (blueski), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 10:25 (twenty years ago)

Well he is his own greatest fan

Roy Misses chance to play as caught short

From someone on WSC board:

"This place is a fucking disgrace! You haven't prepared at all! I mean here I am, on the bench, warming up, and I need a piss. And where can I go? Back in the dressing rooms? I tell you, Sir Alex would have had urinals set up right here, next to the f*cking bench, where I need them. This is a complete bloody shambles. Strachan, you're a c*nt. You're not even f*cking Irish, what the f*ck do you know about needing to go for a piss while waiting to play for Celtic. You ginger-haired, Scottish c*nt."

― Dave B (daveb), Monday, 30 January 2006 23:16 (twenty years ago)

four months pass...

i phoned the gaffer and he agreed, it's all over

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Monday, 12 June 2006 12:55 (nineteen years ago)

Gosh, I was harsh on him up there. He came good in the end for Celtic, and I wish he would stay, even if just for the Champions League games. Cheers, Keano :-)

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 12 June 2006 13:17 (nineteen years ago)

two years pass...

Some questioned whether he would return to management following his tempestuous departure from the Stadium of Light. "You have to wonder who'd want him now when he has walked again," Cascarino wrote at the time, adding he would be "amazed if he got another job in football".
Keane retorted: "I would not give him the time of day. I am quite happy to comment on people's opinion in football I respect, but Tony Cascarino is a man I certainly do not respect for a lot of reasons, and if I told you, you would be shocked. So the day I worry about Tony Cascarino will be a very sad day of my life."
