Dunphy makes his living as a professional controversalist and that shows all too clearly in the style used in the extracts I have read .
Weasel words from him now are too late the damage to Keanes and Uniteds reputation is done and means the club hierarchy, particularly Fergie, have to devote precious time to mending external bridges , rebuilding squad morale and not least addressing supporters concerns about the sorry episode , when there are pressing problems on the pitch.
We dont, most of us , live in a moral vacuum , sport is a diversion not a war , and while I can sympathise a little with the siege mentality of the banner shown by the Stretford end yesterday , Cantonas and Beckenhams cases were much more worthy of our loyal support .
I am having real difficulties coming to Keane`s defence , and wish that he had a) never started his ill considered book and b) if he had to do it had chosen a more astute ghostwriter more in tune with middle ground opinion.
