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."
Keane retorted: "I would not give him the time of day.

Cascarino's a wifebeater iirc.

You're only saying that because he's Irish.

doesn't he mean that "Big Cas" had a "Big Gambling Problem"

x-post Big Cas not actually Irish, at all. Not even the legal Irish connections to play for Ireland.

"Roy Keane's got 'shocking' information about me? I'd like to know what that is. Tell the world, Roy. I've got nothing to hide. But I know plenty about you that would shock quite a few people. If Roy's trying to intimidate me, it won't work. You can't bully me, Roy - Keane versus Cascarino is a fight that will go the distance.
"As for him not respecting what I say, I couldn't give two hoots. I won't lose a minute's sleep. It's funny, I never had a fallout with Roy over a decade as Ireland team-mates, but as soon as I started writing my honest opinion about the way he behaves, he didn't like it.
"Roy needs to look at his own behaviour, not mine. He needs to ask why rumours spread within the game about why many players at Sunderland weren't happy while he was in charge there.
"He should look at why he left Sunderland in the lurch, just like he did with Ireland. Will the same thing happen at Ipswich?"

Still surprised to see him at Ipswich. It looks like the Clough theory of needing total control with everyone totally reliant on you-as-messiah (not a bad thing necessarily, it's served O'Neill fine)

except haven't they been taken over by a gajillionaire or something. agree that the manager as dictator can work fine, as long as he can delegate where he's not competent- keane's transfer record is as patchy as anybody's at premier league level.

is this true? he says in his autobiography that he wasn't really entitled to play for Ireland, because his mother was adopted and not a blood relative of his irish grandfather. but elsewhere I've read that's not correct - an adoption is as good as a blood relation as far as the regs are concerned.
― joe, Friday, 24 April 2009 12:37 (4 years ago) Permalink
as far as regs or concerned, but in terms of assuming the wifebeatery we'll need a certificate of blood.
also- would be extremely surprised if adoption allowed you to play under fifia regs under any circumstances, probably very tightly worded, that one.

he wasn't adopted, his mum was which made her an irish citizen.
― joe, Friday, 24 April 2009 12:41 (4 years ago) Permalink
but doesn't give him the wifebeating gene, crucially.

Keane admits he cannot foresee a time when he and Ferguson enjoy a healthy relationship again.
“I wouldn’t have thought so, no,” Keane said. “He’s a busy man and I’m fairly busy."

Gary Neville tells a story of texting Keane with his new mobile number, and receiving a text straight back from him, which said: “So what.”

A photographer I worked with once asked Keane to growl in to the camera. “I’m a footballer, not a fucking actor,” he replied.
"You don’t contest football matches in a reasonable state of mind."

The small details mattered to Keane. On his first day of pre-season training with United in 1993 he ordered a taxi to drive to the Cliff training ground, and followed behind in his own car to guarantee he would not get lost.
Surely getting the taxi would have been a better call?

In the summer of 1998, on the brink of his comeback, I spoke with Keane at the Cliff. He seemed like a man in a hurry, as though he wanted to make up for lost time.
Vintage deficit of self-awareness.

-xpost- Maybe Roy knew he'd be criticising the driving so much he wouldn't remember the route.

he didn't want to pay for a taxi back. money doesn't grow on trees fellas.

that was the trouble, everyone wanted something. even in ireland they had tried to charge me something they called "tax" on my earnings. "roy has money now, let's take him to the cleaners," they no doubt thought or said in their minds. it was bollocks. i phoned my accountant and he repeatedly tried to explain what tax was. fired.
