Remember when he signed for Liverpool for £2.5 million and Liverpool hilariously printed his shirt number as 2.5?
Yep, Hilarious it was

Are you agreeing with me? Or do you think that quoting your post which contained 2 paragraphs both about racism somehow disproves what I said?Yeah, clearly obsessed.
Calling both Keane & Haaland ‘nasty cnuts’ implies that’s all they were .Haaland was a nasty cnut, Keane had a nasty streak in him but he also had a whole lot more.Oh yeah don't get me wrong. I know Haaland was being a twat but Keane wouldn't have had the injury if in that one moment he wasn't trying to get Haaland back. Not that I'd be above trying to kick someone that had kicked me all game and tried to wind me up but if he didn't do it, he doesn't get injured which doesn't lead to Haaland standing over him which then doesn't lead to the City game challenge. Butterfly effect at its maximum.
I'm not on a high horse and I'm not sure what the respective quality of the two players has to do with trying to kick each other? Is Messi allowed to snap people's legs in half because he's the best player ever? How about headbutts and punches? Same for Cristiano?
Nowhere did I say anything about Keane's quality as a player or even suggest it was affected by what he tried to do to Haaland that caused the whole thing to begin with. As I said, Keane tried to injure Haaland and he got injured himself and that act, irrespective of whether Haaland was a cnut and was winding him up and kicking him all game, set everything in motion for what happened after it. If he hadn't done it, he wouldn't have gotten injured (we probably win the league again in 97/98 due to having Keane as well), Haaland doesn't stand over him abusing him and he doesn't kick him and get sent off against City years later. Simple.
Now try again to comprehend that actions have consequences. I'm sure you can do it (Now I'm on the high horse).

Haaland had written about playing with an injury to his left knee for months prior to the Keane tackle (which was to his right leg) and was already playing with strapping around it. He even stated that no knock was received to his left leg as part of that challenge, and that Keane had not caused his injury. He even stated that he was fortunate that his right leg as off the ground when Keane tackled him because it meant he barely had more than a slight knock. He played the rest of that game, a midweek friendly for Norway, and then over an hour of the fixture after that.Yet Haaland never played a full game after that tackle happened. Roy Keane is/was a very small man.
Exactly, and yet this myth that Keane ended Haaland's career continues.Haaland had written about playing with an injury to his left knee for months prior to the Keane tackle (which was to his right leg) and was already playing with strapping around it. He even stated that no knock was received to his left leg as part of that challenge, and that Keane had not caused his injury.

He played the rest of that game, a midweek friendly for Norway, and then over an hour of the fixture after that.
It's not an indictment on Keane that Haaland didn't play another full game, because Haaland was pretty much exclusively used as utility, squad player wherever he went. From 1990 at Byrne to his retirement in 2003 at City, Haaland played in 255 league games. From signing for Forest in 1990 to 2003 at United, Keane had played in almost 50% more, 377, as well as featuring more prominently as captain and in more competitions, and missing pretty much an entire year because of the injury he sustained that led to Haaland provoking him.
Haaland initially implied Keane caused his injury because wanted to get back at him.
Call Keane whatever you want because going in to deliberately hurt someone is a shitty thing to do, but the actual incident had little to no bearing on how the rest of Haaland's career played out, and it's a cheap stick to try and beat Keane with.
I suggest you give the Current Events forum a very wide berth for your own sakeThis forum is obsessed with racism. Absolutely obsessed. How in God's name do you conclude racism out of that?
You've got 2 guys in Ruddock and Sheringham who are outgoing cocky and arrogant and Cole who is quiet and introverted. It's as obvious a personality clash as you will see, but your first thought is "two white guys, one black guy, must be racist".
Jesus wept.
No, it doesn't.Calling both Keane & Haaland ‘nasty cnuts’ implies that’s all they were .Haaland was a nasty cnut, Keane had a nasty streak in him but he also had a whole lot more.
What I object to is you lumping them together as if they were equals.
It is a bit of an echo chamber alright.I suggest you give the Current Events forum a very wide berth for your own sake
Iirc there was footage of it on an episode of 'Manchester United On Video'I remember hearing about the tackle but i don’t think I ever saw footage . Must have been horrendous. I know Cole could be mouthy but he wasn’t a nasty player (unlike Alfie Haaland)
I see Teddy on the bloody central line a few months back. Little cap on to try and look like someone out of peaky blinders. I said hello to him and he told me to feck off. He scored the goal in 1999 but boy do I hate him. Horrible horrible manSheringham is a twat. I saw him push in front of a taxi queue outside of a club and utter the immortal words "do you know who I am?"
Andy Cole is a bit of a sensitive guy to really give a shit about a handshake but Tedward is a bellend.
It must have been in reference to his IQ. It certainly wasn't his waist size.Remember when he signed for Liverpool for £2.5 million and Liverpool hilariously printed his shirt number as 2.5?
Yep, Hilarious it was
He literally said 'feck off' in reply to you just saying 'hello'...?I see Teddy on the bloody central line a few months back. Little cap on to try and look like someone out of peaky blinders.

Agree with you. Some people( and society in general) are just obsessed with racism. That is why i use this nickname. Nobody can't call me a racist. Ok, back to topic. I didn't know that Teddy didn't like Andy. Why? Milwall/Spurs prick. I never liked him much. Now i know why.This forum is obsessed with racism. Absolutely obsessed. How in God's name do you conclude racism out of that?

Definitely. I'm sure 'arry told a story about him crying about leaving spuds or summat. Not having the balls to ask for a transfer.Miguel Angel Nadal a notorious hardman was twice the player Ruddock was. Ruddock was just a plain thug and a wind up merchant on the pitch
Venables must have been pissed when he picked the team.Razor got an England cap -
How did that happen?

Was there more to it than that? Or literally how it happened?

This isn't the Daily Mail comment section, it's an intelligent footy forum where most users are capable of more than binary, 'black or white', 'yes or no' discussion.
Oh, stop whining and go back to bed.
Good with irony too apparently!
Iirc Cole was out for 3-4 months..The breaks must have been minor fractures because I don't remember him being out for long.
I remember it. He wasn't in great form at the time anyway so we didn't miss him a whole lot. It was his worst season for us probably.The breaks must have been minor fractures because I don't remember him being out for long.
Out for several months with pneumonia then a double leg break didn't help. But yeah for fitness AND form 1996 was not a good year for Coley. He's fortunate Fergie didn't get Shearer as well otherwise his place would've been seriously under threat.I remember it. He wasn't in great form at the time anyway so we didn't miss him a whole lot. It was his worst season for us probably.
If he angers you after admitting this, just take pleasure in knowing he know appears on League of Their Own at least once a season as an ugly fat feck for poor money, literally, that's his job! To be gross looking while taking off his close.
