Roy Keane 'didn't mean to injure Haaland"

.... according to his new book - 'It was action; it was football. It was dog eats dog. I've kicked lots of players and I know the difference between hurting somebody and injuring somebody. I didn't go to injure Haaland. When you play sport, you know how to injure somebody. There was no premeditation.'

And here's Keane in his 2002 autobiography: 'I'd waited long enough. I fucking hit him hard. The ball was there (I think). Take that you cunt. And don't ever stand over me again sneering about fake injuries.
Even in the dressing room afterwards, I had no remorse. My attitude was, fuck him. What goes around comes around. He got his just rewards. He fucked me over and my attitude is an eye for an eye.'


The thing that always confused me about Keane's reasoning for trying to break Haaland in half, was that he said it was revenge for what Haaland had said to him after Keane had bust his own knee trying to foul him.
Not all that sure it was the same thing at all!

Re: Roy Keane 'didn't mean to injure Haaland"

Pasted this from an article 5 years old. Doesn't seem widely publicized though as u say.

Fortunately, Charles then found a saviour in former Forest team-mate Roy Keane. They were teenage trainees at Forest in the 1980s.

"Roy was absolutely brilliant to me," said Charles. "I went to live with him and his family and he invited me to train with the Sunderland lads.

"I went with them on their pre-season tour of Holland and had a great time. It re-ignited my enthusiasm for football and made me realise what I'd missed about the game, the banter with the other lads"

Keane helped him to enrol on a coaching course in Wolverhampton.

Re: Roy Keane 'didn't mean to injure Haaland"

Was just reading a story NOT in Roy Keane's book

He used to share digs with Gary Charles at Forest & when Charles went to jail & was suicidal a letter arrived from Keane reminiscing about what good mates they had been and offering to help.
Moved him into his house when he was released and took him to training at Sunderland to take a few drills. Charles is now signed up for his coaching badges & working as a part time scout.
Only came out as a friend of Charles who is a former journalist mentioned it in a blog.

Read the first chapter and it is very repetitive. Goes over the same story again and again. Hope it improves.

Re: Roy Keane 'didn't mean to injure Haaland"

Always amused me when it was said that Cantona had been sent a lot of Rambo merchandise.
After he mentioned on the radio that he liked Rimbaud.
I hope that is true

I really like Cantona, can laugh at himself as well

Re: Roy Keane 'didn't mean to injure Haaland"

Where has Keane ever said he was hard?

A winner yes but I don't remember him ever proclaiming to be hard.

He even says in the book regarding the tunnel fight against Arsenal that "Vieira probably would have killed me in a fight"...

But on the pitch he knew he had him.

Keane on Cantona:

“In my early years at United, there was a players’ pool and each of us would get about £800 out of it at the end of the season for the work we’d done for the in-house magazines, the club videos,” Keane writes.

“We were all on decent money and eight hundred quid wasn’t going to make or break us, so one time, we decided to put all the cheques into a hat and the last cheque out, whoever’s name was on it, got to keep all of the cheques.

“We all put our cheques in except a couple of the younger players – I think it was Becks and Gary and Phil (Neville).

“They opted out. They were new on the scene and didn’t have the money to spare, but Scholesy and Nicky Butt put their cheques in.

“I think I was the third last name out, so I got a run for my money, but the last cheque out – Eric Cantona. He’d won about sixteen grand.

“He came in the next day, there was plenty of banter – ‘Eric, you lucky b——!’ F—— money to money.

“But he had got somebody to cash the cheques, he’d split the money in two and he gave it to Paul Scholes and Nicky Butt because, he said, the two of them had the balls to go into it when they couldn’t really afford it. The two lads took home about eight grand each.

“I just thought, ‘what a gesture.’ Nobody else would have done it.”

Dicks was the best left back we have ever had. Used to dominate the game. Very rare for a full back.

Takashi Miike 9:59 Sun Oct 12
Re: Roy Keane 'didn't mean to injure Haaland"

is that all you remember him for? stamping on a horrible little Chelsea cunt who was a nasty piece of work

I remember Julian for being a superb left back who backed down from no one

Eddie B 9:57 Sun Oct 12
Re: Roy Keane 'didn't mean to injure Haaland"

Dicks stamped on a blokes face who was on the floor. Not especially 'hard' was it.

Takashi Miike 9:52 Sun Oct 12
Re: Roy Keane 'didn't mean to injure Haaland"

Re: Roy Keane 'didn't mean to injure Haaland"

Strange, if players like, Keane, Dicks, Savage play for West Ham there worshiped for being hard, dirty cunts..

When they don't/didn't play for West Ham there just dirty thug pikey cunts...

Strange

Re: Roy Keane 'didn't mean to injure Haaland"

I went to a seminar once at Portman rd. Keane was walking his dogs on the pitch....the general concensous was...and I quote...

" he is a wanker...everyone hates him"

One of the best players I ever saw though.

Re: Roy Keane 'didn't mean to injure Haaland"

For years Tony Cascarino has been a regular contributor to the
sports section of an Irish radio program. He has regularly said that Keane was a cowardly bully that was afraid of him. He said he regularly called Keane out but Keane always backed down. Cascarino maintains that he himself wasn't particularly hard but he'd do Keane & Keane knows it. Keane was just a bully of the meek.
