WHEN YOU DISAGREE with Manchester United, you disagree with Paddy Crerand.
The Old Trafford great — a European Cup winner in 1968 with the club — is now more known for his on-air rants and work as a MUTV presenter.
Today, Crerand was moved to take on former United Roy Keane after the Corkman’s insistence last night that Nani deserved to be sent off against Real Madrid.
‘Roy Keane was in a minority of one,” Crerand told the BBC. “Not one person said it was a red card apart from Roy. Does Roy want to be noticed, or is he envious, jealous or has got the needle with Manchester United because of what happened?”
“Roy Keane is the one person that has come out and stated he should have been sent off, nobody else agrees with him. So why are we talking about Roy Keane? Why aren’t we talking about the other 99 per cent of people who said it wasn’t a sending off.
‘Why are we talking about Roy Keane, because he played for Manchester United? Well let me tell you something. I’ve played for Manchester United, I’ve played in a European Cup final, and Roy didn’t. The referee was wrong.”

Keano is entitled to his opinion whether you like it or not is another story. He isnt everyone cup of tea and I wouldn’t lose sleep over what he says.
And crerand is cut from the same cloth. That’s why we’re hearing his view now.
Paddy who? Roy was an excellent modern player so why wouldn’t we listen to his opinion? He was being paid to give it after all. And by the rules of the game, it was a red card.
Educate yourself troll…is that all you do is troll? It must get boring in all fairness?
Good man Paddy. Show your ignorance.
What are you talking about leslie? How are any of the points I have made here inflammatory to you?
On nearly every thread you bore and troll the bejaysus out of everyone. You have some skewed notions going on. You argue with some ridiculous ideas. It really must get boring.
I don’t expect my views to be universally popular all of the time, especially with the demographic here. But that in no way invalidates them as opinions. If you call someone putting across alternative view points as trolling, then that is your prerogative. Enjoy your narrow-minded opinions and insular existence.
Actually Andy by the rules of the game it wasn’t a red card. Look up the wording yourself if you are unconvinced. Your first clue is that everybody but you and a very small minority can’t be wrong.
Flawless logic there Niall. The majority of the German pop. supported Hitler, but hey, they couldn’t all have been wrong? FF/FG are the most popular parties in the country with a majority in support, therefore, by your logic, they are the right choice.
Yeah, you are boring.
Leslie shush now….stop digging.
Ah Andy, read his profile. A true giant of the United family
Will people stop using that STUPID word troll? It drives me mad!
No offence Andy but you’ve been over this whole united thing like a tramp on chips, so you have gone a bit boring in fairness. Nice to be noticed I suppose.
Are you a jealous Liverpool fan by any chance? It’s them that are usually plugging away on these United things while their own club has gone down the swany.
Asking who Paddy Crerand is?? Seriously?
You’re Welcome.
Hitler brought into the argument in less than three posts! You sure you understand what the term troll means?
Take it outside ladies….
Ill take Aoife outside!! ;)
There’s a queue bud…
Aoife is on the left BTW ;-)
Mark’s up 1st….
Is say so Colm. The thing is, I’m top of it.
Lesson learned, never commenting on a sports related article again. Boys will be boys!!
Yeah mark that’s terrible….
Troll troll troll troll troll troll troll………troll
JUVE all the way
Did you only write Juve because you couldn’t spell the full name?
Of course everybody has the right to talk through their arse, but the bigger you are the bigger eejit you are.
@Andy. ‘By the rules of the game he deserved to be sent off ‘. Different rules than the ones I know to be correct. The rule book I know clearly states there “has to be intent ” for it to warrant a red card. And even the almighty keano himself admitted/inferred there was no intent
From where the ref saw it, it was a red card…. It all matters in that split second decision… Cannot second guess… Was it wrong, yes, but these things even out, even Fergie said that, but never when you are winning 5 nil…. Thats just how it is…. Fergie distraught? Well payback is a bitch….
Actually Mr. H never had majority support in free elections. …
http://facts.randomhistory.com/hitler-facts.html
“Hitler never gained majority support in free elections. The most the National Socialist German Workers Party (NSDAP) garnered was 37.3% in July 1932. In 1933, when Hitler became Chancellor, the Nazis had only one third of the seats in the Reichstag.”
Looks like the lads are getting red card/ thumbs here mate lol
Jealous Liverpool fan ???? Why is a United fan mentioning Liverpool its a Moan Utd thread. I was reading through to see what was being said and lo and behold because Crerand has a go at Keane its Liverpool’s fault. Ah lads you couldnt make it up.
Here, Here! Aoife. I’m delighted somebody else feels that way. It has overtaken muppet as the new buzz word. We’re such a bunch of muppets and trolls for fad words. Hopefully it will end soon and we can move on ANON!
I don’t think that’s correct, in a recent interview Jamie carragher said the worst tackle he ever made was on nani but he didn’t mean it but he also said he doesn’t know how he stayed on the pitch, obviously the referee used your logic that there was no intent to injure the player.
Same reason your mother only called you mark ,because you couldn’t spell anything longer
Someone should tell Paddy Crerand the only people allowed to give out and insult Roy Keane are the Irish. He is our muppet and we will deal with him.
Think of what you saying and get your facts right, Paddy Crerand is a true Irishman has always carried an Irish passport. So that gives him (a donegal man) every right to deal with ‘our’ Problem.
Brilliant comment
This article is about the Paddy Crerand that was born in and played for scotland not the Donegal Paddy Crerand.
Paddy Crerand was born and raised in Glasgow. He played for Scotland. Am I missing something here.
He is about as Irish as Crocodile Dundee. Learn the facts before you spout absolute cack.
Oh yes it is the Donegal Paddy Crerand. A proud Irishman. In the sixties if you were born outside this island you weren’t considered for selection on the Irish team.
Our lord was born in stable. Did that make him a horse?????
And Bauer is a good Irish name???
You are an idiot
Not a fan of Keane’s but thought the comment from Crerand ” I played in a European Cup final, Roy Kean’s didn’t” was a cheap shot. He may not have played in 99 Cup Final but he bursted a gut to make sure Utd got there irrespective of whether he’d play or not!
Man Utd fans blaming the ref again.. Nani came in with his studs straight into Arbeloa’s chest and deservedly got sent off for it, get over it.. United have had plenty of decisions go their way in the past..
Undeservedly, never a red.
Derek,
That’s not entirely true is it? I mean I wouldn’t expect anything from an ABU. Nani was going for the ball, his eyes at ALL times were locked on the ball. His foot didn’t hit Arbeloa’s chest, he hit him slight on the left side of his ribs and slightly in the left arm. Nobody went to the ref looking for a red card. Mourinho, 4th official, Real Players, everyone except the ref didn’t think It was a red.
But hey! That’s football. We move on. When you’re giving your options on a game, at least make them accurate.
I agree with the argument dublinlad. I do think ramos wanted the red card he was all over the referee like a cheap suit.
There doesn’t have to be intent for something to be dangerous. And the fact of the matter is it was dangerous. If it happened to a player on my team, I’d be p*ssed off too though, it was a soft (but justifiable) red card.
Yes it does. Buy yourself a rules book.
Derek, i’m guessing you missed the tackle Arbeloa made on Evra then, huh? He went in studs high and caught him on the leg. Okay Nani’s looked worse because he caught Arbeloa on the chest but if Nani’s tackle was a red card, so was Arbeloa’s. At least Nani was watching the ball and only saw Arbeloa a fraction of a second before making contact with Arbeloa. Arbeloa was looking straight at Evra while he made his challenge.
Andy , you are determined on getting the “intent” doesn’t matter nonsense into the debate , of course it does would you prefer a game with no volley ,over head kick , headers ,50:50 balls , basically no contact ?? your letter of law interpretation betrays a childish view of sport . Btw why are you patrolling UTD related stories makes me think your a closet Man U fan , probably wearing keano Jammi’s ,bless or will you admit you are a liverpoolsupporter with an axe to grind
Who cares?
Paddy does
Paddy Crerand is a muppet. Ironic that he’s ranting about others being contrarian!
Look the only person to blame is Nani, not the ref as he was the one with the high tackle and studs showing, had it been the other way round he’d probably still be rolling around the grass. Swings and roundabouts lads and its only footy no one died.
Well said , couldn’t agree more
It wasn’t a tackle. Its a case of he put the foot up to control the ball and man ran into him.
Shhhhhhhhhush Leslie seriously….
Leslie. Don’t be giving your sense to those who know nothing about football. Never in a million years was that a sending off, and I’m a true Liverpool fan
Every single united fan that is using the red card as an excuse cares. They got beat simple rafael got away with a hand ball so it evens out.
Oops another Liverpool fan who we havent seen on here before makes an appearance. How would your club be doing in Europe or the league the Robert….. February and not a competition or CL league position to play for. Enjoy the close season.
By that logic, Varane should have been sent off in the 1st leg for that foul on Evra. Fact of the matter is, that decision changed the game.
decisions change games all the time. people should be used used to it
And Areboloa got away with a studs up challenge on Evra which should have also been a red card.
What a nasty man Crerand is to have as the voice of the club, casting the fact that Roy didn’t play in the 99cup final. If it wasn’t for him in Turin neither would any of the other 11 who did
Well united fans. He slated the Irish fans for singing. He slated the Irish team when Henry handled the ball. You all loved him and respected him. He had an opinion last night in saying it was dangerous play and nani was right to be sent off. Well well well and that’s all it takes and you hate him. You are all jokers. Your out of the European cup but there is always next year. YNWA 5 Times. Good night and god bless.
Ynwa? Hasbeen fc…
YNWA 5 times… Shut up. Everytime there’s a post about united, pool fans are the quickest to get involved because nobody talks about them anymore because they aren’t a top 4 side anymore.
Paul
Enjoy being trophyless this season. LOL!!! Also before I forget Oldham Athletic.
They’re barely a top 8 side
Is that the best you can come up with Paul? United are jokers??? What about the 24 years without a league, the spouting of Next Year, Brendan Rodgers saying that LFC can fight for 2nd place, 35m spent on Carroll, been beat by Oldham in the cup, supporting a racist, have King Penny at the helm for the 2nd time and having to wheel him off in the end for another nervous breakdown, what about the growth in debt, what about the fact that you are fighting for 7th place with the massive clubs of WBA and Swansea.
As for fighting for European, will you even make Channel 5 next season? 24 years and growing without a league pot to piss in.
Continue posting, loving to see the only thing to get a LFC fan a sense of achievement in a season is to post on a story about United losing.
Hope you enjoy the FA Cup this weekend…..
How many Liverpool fans do you need to change a light bulb? None, but there’s 53 talking about how bright the last one was.
@Leslie – they didn’t even have light bulbs back in 1989, the internet wasn’t invented. The list goes on.
But hey, next year they will get them off the dole queue and into training on a) how to change that lightbulb b) That Milan & Madrid laugh at LFC 5 times spout.
There wasn’t even a dvd…Im sure betamax was popular and so was bergerac
Tool and pool
Looks like Fergie will have to stay on another 5 years to try and match Paisley!
United are this… Liverpool are that, give it a rest , it was a harsh decision and United aren’t used to them but .. If they took any one of the 5 great chances they had, the match was put to bed and we wouldn’t be having this discussion.
Crerand and Keane are well suited to each other… let them at it cos nothing either says or does will change the result.
Why all the fuss over Keane’s comments? He gave a perfectly reasonable and logical explanation of his opinion on the sending off. It’s telling that those who are losing the rag at him are simply accusing him of attention-seeking rather than refuting his points.
If Keane set out to get some headlines for himself, all he would have to do is give an interview and make some ludicrous statement about something or other, all he did last night was call it as he saw it which he is perfectly entitled to do. It was a harsh decision but technically correct in my opinion, I’m sure he can appeal it if they feel like putting their money where their mouth is.
Crerand’s bitterness towards Roy (and pretty much the entire universe outside MUFC) is pathetic, Keane was a better and more successful player (and manager lol) than he ever was.
Bored!!!
Typical company man stuff from crerand. Keane is entitled to his opinion. At least he speaks his mind unlike a lot of his peers on itv.
Funny how Roy Keane’s “opinion” is never worth listening to.
He likes the limelight and he would say anything to attention.
Tool.
Ye make me laugh always with this United/Liverpool bitching every time something happens . The fact is as old Benitez says, United get decisions like this all the time and nothing is ever said. Remember Nani against Spurs in 2010 handling the ball then taking it back off Gomez and scoring a goal, Fergie said Gomez should have known better!! United fans like Fergie are the most blinkered fans I’ve ever seen. What goes around comes around. Suck it up and move on. By the way I’m a Gooner so have plenty problems of my own!
Are you sure you’re a gooner? You’re starting to sound like a pool supporter.
That’s because it’s after winning nothing for 8 years it makes u bitter too
Hes a moron of a man. Best footballer Ireland ever produced but a complete moron…!!
Paddy Crerand. Now there’s a man you’d never want to be stuck in an elevator with.
Sometimes manu and Ferguson are given a little too much respect. Real won the game, yet mourinho didn’t appear too excited by it (ok he wants the manu job) and Ronaldo was apologetic about his goal (ok ex club). Respect to them both for good behaviour, but feck it, ye just progressed to the next round and deserve your celebrations too! If I was a Real Madrid fan, I’d expect a little more enthusiasm.
Keane will never have anything to do with Man U again it’s a pity he was one of the great united players.
Coming from a neutral, just watched this challenge a few times over to see what the fuss is all about, defo red card, the kick out and the follow through done it for me. But more to the point that ronaldo fella… What a waster! Should have had 4
Sending off was a mistake, it happens so get over it! (Im a utd fan)
To all the liverool fans enjoying the moment, well be back next year to try again unlike some other BIG clubs.
Ferguson is the master of manipulation, it’s a compliment in many ways as his whole reaction has us all discussing this Nani decision, not the wasted chances , not Rafaels handball, not the fact he left Rooney on the bench , or on the bench too long (imho) . It’s a bad call but you will see far worse every single weekend in the premiership. He’s a European ref and as ray Houghton was saying German tv pundits all said by the bundesliga it’s a straight red so it’s not as controversial as its being made out
You tell him Paddy!
Keano is looking for attention, Nani shouldn’t have tackled with a high leg and deserved the red he got! What If he had done serious injury, to the mans chest and we’d be having a different conversation!
The key part in this is he came in from behind nani. Never a chance in hell of a serious injury and nani didn’t know about it until there was contact so couldn’t ever in a million yrs have malice or intent or be dangerous. The three key factors in a straight red
True , he could have pulled a gun and shot him as well , where would we be then . Ffs . As anybody ever seen a hurling match with two lads competing for high ball ?? My god , He could have been seriously injured, arboloa had a view and ran onto the ball . i guess fans can say good luck to the concept of their massively paid sporting idols putting their body on the line for the team and the club . Not sure if be a fan of ye’re coot on ball game
It was a red card, I saw the ref holding it. The ref saw what happened then gave nani red. That’s how football works. Its not always right but the ref isn’t plugged into the 7 angles we see. People complaining are like fat people complaining about McDonalds, cop on and eat your chips.
Paddy Crerand playing the man and not the ball – how ironic is that?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jH5t58FCs3k
“In the immediate aftermath of the challenge by the former Arsenal player, Rio Ferdinand was incensed and can clearly be seen urging the referee to take action.
Nani is also one of the players that approaches the referee but before the Manchester United winger can complain, referee Alan Wiley had already flashed his red card.
Sir Alex Ferguson made no complaints at the time and the reaction from Manchester United’s players five years ago, specifically Rio Ferdinand, who clapped referee Cuneyt Cakir in the face at full time last night, is rather telling.”
http://www.101greatgoals.com/blog/arsenals-emmanuel-eboue-was-sent-off-at-old-trafford-in-2008-for-a-nani-esque-challenge/
Not even kinda close.
You cant compare the two. Nani made a clear attempt to control the ball. Eboue lead wit his foot going for a header which he clearly wasnt goin to win.
Paddy is a langer
LOL
“Steve Bould
Eboue got sent off for this against United & Fergie said it was “100% a red card”. Where is the difference???

If ya cant see the difference you dont deserve to have an opinion on the matter.
I’m not Roy Keane’s biggest fan and I don’t agree with the red card, but i certainly take Roy’s opinion on board. When you look at it, it was dangerous play and unfortunately Nani wasn’t aware of his surroundings. Most of the time this would go without incident, but he was really unlucky and could have badly injured the other player. A sending off? I don’t think so, but definitely not an easy decision!
That’s the crux of the matter. You get United fans who claim it wasn’t even a foul and others who are in no doubt that it was a deserved red. It was reckless not malicious, and by the rule book it was a yellow minimum. The ref judged Nani not to be taking into account the other player’s safety and sent him off. His call, and he wasn’t close enough to see where Nani was looking (nor should he have been, he has a line to run along that was nowhere near there).
Irony of ironies is that Howard Webb failing to send of De Jong in the World Cup Final probably means that this type of incident will always result in a red. Howard Webb the root cause of a bad call against United. Now that’s a new one.
Twas a dangerous tackle. A red card. Roy always tells the truth. He may be a bad boy but he tells the truth. In Saipan he told the truth. God bless Roy.
So if Keane is the only one thinking it was correct decision and the other 99% think it was wrong then does it follow that only 100 people were thinking about it anyway??
My head hurts!
Whatever about Keane and Crearand, when your studs hit somebody in the diddy, you are in trouble. Nani was a tit to give the ref the chance to send him off.
As a spurs fan, couldn’t be happier for nani. The way that cheat did us in 2010, it all comes full circle. Anyway, lets all just be thankful nobody took a ball to the head lastnight and died from it.
Keano for president!
This is why utd fans are the most hated fans in Europe crying. Whinging moaning it was a red card so get over it.
coming from a fan of the city of pity??? Last year it was Oh if we hadn’t hit the crossbar we would be in 4th, then it was if Saurez hadn’t been a racist and served his ban, you would have been in 3rd.
Prefer to be hated than been a delusional fool, who live off the past. 24 years since a league win, hard to get over than now isn’t it?
“Not one person said it was a red card” …the ref did. Yes bad decision, but utd were 1 up and couldn’t keep their legs together for 30min. Twice.
Manu fans get over yourselves, all this Abu and Liverpool are shite crap is boring the socks of everyone, you give the stick when other clubs suffer but then turn into vile, pathetic sore losers when it happens utd…I heard during the game two utd fans say ‘I hope he gets a f**king kicking somewhere in manchester tonight’ and ‘I hope that bast**d dies’…real class there, I have never heard fans of other clubs going that far (well maybe Chelsea) but it shows the footballing world how pathetic you are…you can give it but can’t take it…cop on lads
Tag. Crerand boot roy in the hole???? No effin way. Roy is the champ. Always will be. Sure viera used quake in his boots
O Hear Ye, Hear Ye!!!!! Sorry, Im calling it now, put ye’re keyboards away!
I checked the rule book and by definition, it was a sending off offence. Check out youtube and you’ll see that as the ball starts to come in his direction, Nani quickly turns his head to the right and sees Arb.
At this point Nani knows that he has entered into a one on one with an approaching player. He looks back at the ball and as he follows it, he leaps up with his right foot extended, studs facing out.
Right at the last second where he can see Arb is going to win the ball with his chest, Nani keeps his leg, knee and foot outstretched looking as if to say, Well if hes guna win this, he’ll have to earn it.
Now Im not a Manu supporter(or a Keane fan) and i hate diving/cheating. But for a player with 20years experience, playing in such an important game and is no stranger to diving himself, to do what he did and look surprised – he was taking the piss.
Keano is right. He kept his point simple. One thing that I think is wrong though is that when Nani looked and saw him coming, his choice to proceed the way he did, makes the thing seem intentional, regardless of what he or SAF says.
Roy keane is a bitter tw@t. He’s raging he was sold by Man U and Paddy in his prime would boot Roy up and down the park.
In fairness by recent standards of refs in internationals and continental competitions it was a red card. If people have a problem with that they should direct their anger at the likes of Fifa cause they’re the ones that are turning soccer into a pansies sport with overpaid p***ks that are there just to collect a pay cheque. But Fifa like the controversy because it takes away from the fact that most of the games are boring, that there is a over saturation of matches on tv and that same teams keep on winning the trophies. Soccer is shite compared to 10 years ago and it gets worse every year.
As a Man United fan I thought it was a harsh red card, yellow at the most for it not being intentional and just being an unlucky collision (I’m also open to the fact that even if it wasn’t intentional that it could still have warranted a red card, that’s not the point I”m making so don’t bother calling me up on it).
I’m also a huge fan of Roy Keane so I was a bit pissed when I saw his comments and thought he was just trying to grab some attention.
Then last night I saw some footage on youtube, from the midfield elevated camera angle. It clearly shows Nani had a quick glance over his shoulder as the ball was in flight, indicating to me that he did in fact see Arbeloa approaching, then locked his eyes on the ball knowing there was a strong possibility of a collision. As much as I hate to admit it – Red card offence.
As for Roy Keane, im still a huge fan, always will be, but if he hadn’t seen that same piece of footage then he probably was looking for attention. If he did see it, why didn’t he make reference to it?
So Paddy Crerand play in a European Cup Final and Roy didn’t , well whoopty do, so did Djimi Traore. The simple fact of the matter is United capitulated when Nani got sent off.
Simple as.
What about the respect the ref campaign , glad to see Rio doing his bit for that at the end of the game.
Here’s a thought. Fergie was so “distraught” at the end of the match he hasn’t spoken to the press yet. Could it be that was his last European game in charge ? Mourinhos comments have been nothing short of a man not wanting to upset his future employers at an interview.
Think about , United secure a 20th title he goes out on a high and takes over the director role, he’s not going to announce his retirement during the season as he would be afraid of United capitulating again just as they did the last time he did it.
Note to the world outside of the county bounds.
Ye must know that even the dogs on Pana are highly opinionated and in absolutely no doubt that the’re right all the time.
What ye have yet to learn is that any response is wasted except for one of these two:
LANGER ( you got it wrong there boy)
FAIRDUES (I agree with ya boy)
And as Mr Herlihy says – we’ll leave it there then.
Without these two retorts we’d all be dug outa eachother on a regular basis .
Doesn’t Keane have a UEFA Champions League medal somewhere in his stash ? This guy is an idiot …. And Roy is perfectly entitled to his opinion , I actually agree with him !
What I can gather with most utd fans arguments are that it was never a sending off because his eyes were locked on the ball and that they were “robbed” and that there has to be “intent”. The laws of the game actually state that it has to be deemed dangerous which his high foot could very well be seen as. I think keane is a tossed as well but he has a point in saying that nani should be aware of what is around him and that he gave the ref a chance to send him off. I would have given him a yellow but utd fans have to shut up moaning they get decisions like that for them far more often than they do against them so just chalk it up to karma lads
Roy keane has forgotten that sir Alex and man utd saved him from throwing his career away with all the drinking he was doing in his younger years Fergie took under his wing and sorted out his life the same way as he did with Ryan giggs. I don’t believe that keane actually thought that it was a red card but he realises that he is a failed manager so he is trying to be controversial to try and make a career in tv
@aidan gill. Get a life Aidan, if I’m gonna be bitter about something it certainly ain’t gonna be about football. Couldn’t give a stuff about utd or any one else
@Paddy, press REPLY and you can respond. if you couldn’t give a snuff then why are you commenting on all the United stories…. maybe its time you stopping snuffing that stuff.
Nani could have killed Arbeloa just like Ashley Williams attempted to murder Van Persie. Karmas a bitch.
Exactly karma. No league title in 24 years for heysel. Karmas a bit@h isn’t it.
Reckless hateful comment ….. hope your proud
Martin are LFC proud of Hysel? Not reckless, only the truth.
The topic of the thread is about Roy Keane & Paddy Crerand ….. your suggesting there is a connection between the premier league and Heysel ….. and yes what happened at Heysel was wrong and should never have happened.
Karma Martin. Thats what I am on about. If you can’t figure it, then I won’t bother confusing you. This so called topic of Keane and Crerand also includes a reference to hitler, interesting that some fans see that point of view. He shouldn’t have happened either.
Ironic you bring up Karma …. ” What goes around, comes around ” ….. thats not my quote by the way, it was SFA after the Manchester derby earlier this season.
And he is right Martin. Karma can just go on and on. But then again, there is always “next year”, not my quote either
Firstly I was a huge Roy Keane fan and I’ve supported/defended him for years.. Last night was the straw that broke the camels back. Any serious football person will agree it was not a red card! Bitterness/regret etc has driven a true Utd legend to despise a club he once loved. He has truly lost the plot! I must also point out that I think Pat Crerand is an A1 idiot.. But I don’t need Crerand to influence me, unlike Lee Dixon and Gareth southgate on itv last night, I am capable of independent thought.. The ref greatly influenced the outcome of the game, Utd were in control up too the red card. Was the ref to blame for Utd’s loss? To an extent, yes! Chelsea went down to 10 against barca (better team than Real) last year and thrived. Utd reacted poorly to red card and that’s what cost them the tie. As for Keane…… being controversial doesn’t mean you’re right!
I always said he was not right in the head !! Gifted years ago .. But not right .. God Bless him .. He needs to be minded than laughed at .. Mussha God help him .. He wld love the job but will not ever get it .. Will never be another AF .. No matter what anyone says xx
@aidan gill. Because there’s no reply to hit under your name is all. I don’t think I’ve ever commented on a utd story. Maybe I have, either way I’m not bothered about them. It’s city n Chelsea I have problems with. Buying leagues. In saying that if arsenal did get taken over by a billionaire sheikh and got us back to winning ways I doubt I’d be complaining. Take care Aidan
Paddy, your comment:
http://thescore.thejournal.ie/does-roy-keane-want-to-be-noticed-or-is-he-envious-paddy-crerand-launches-into-keano-821924-Mar2013/#comment-996119
So you must be bothered to come up with that.
Thanks for the last comment too Paddy. I note that it was deleted, really no need for personal attacks.
BTW – If you hit the reply button under your comment, it just appends what you want to say under the last persons comment.
Do note this is a public forum, comments like yours aren’t advisable.
Every time I hear paddy crerand he sounds pissed. When he went on bbc radio morning after the derby he made a total fool of himself and doing no different here
John mullins. Thats unfair. Keane is very grateful for all the luck he has had in his career and he knows he owes a lot to fergie. But like most MEN !!! he is very flawed. Cant admit his mistakes (his falling out with fergie). I am sure, knowing Roy, that he will make his peace with fergie
I used to love Rab C. Nesbitt and his crazy pointless rant. I wonder can you still pick it up on DVD…
Just out of curiosity, was anyone whose posted on here at the match? Utd’s biggest game of the season so would have expected a few to have made the trip over..
So, it appears my previous post was not in order, yet all I asked was… who is Adrian Russell? Apparently somebody who can moderate and delete posts. Sorry Adrian for using the “f” word, I didn’t know that you were so sensitive. Burt who are you? This is one of the problems with blogs, self-censorship, no editor to look at the blogger’s writings, and egoism.

It swing in roundabouts. Some you get some you don’t….
