Footballer deliberately fouls another footballer.... on 20:51 - Nov 24 by Bloots
....it's hardly a rarity!
Did you see Delap push whathisface over from behind today? Does that make him a coward?
Err - there’s a difference between that and one of the most shocking, vicious, effectively career-ending challenges on a player in the history of the game.

Deliberately fouled and purposely crippled is totally different.

He didn't cripple Haaland. Haaland finished the match after Keane fouled him and played a midweek friendly for Norway. He then played the next league game.

It wasn't a career ending challenge.

I said he was coward, but didn’t comment on his passing, scoring, midfield ability.
Why was he a coward? He’d do those nasty little ones and when it came to it went out to do Haaland and did, with as cowardly assault (side, to the knee) you could ever wish to see.
He would not have lasted five minutes in the 1970s
Delicious irony that Alf Ingers son is now such a tsar for a City side that puts United in the shade!
You do realise that.... on 22:00 - Nov 24 by Swansea_Blue
It was, but it was still premeditated assault and punished as such by the FA. You’ve got to be a lot of a c*** to do that.
....than people realise.
Keane just admitted it!
No it's not.... by Bloots24 Nov 2024 20:56 ....was Mariner a "coward" when he told the Koln centre back that he was gonna "do him" in the tunnel before the semi final in 81?
5 mins into the match he was off injured, after Mariner "did him".

Only because the Cologne centre back tried to do him in the first leg. It was how it was. At any level retribution for out of order stuff generally happened later.
You cannot compare Delap’s challenge to what Keane used to get up to and the fact that if faced by say a Titus Bramble he’d run a mile find another corner of the pitch. Souness and John Giles didn’t. True hard men who could also play.

OK, I stand corrected on the career-ending bit, but nevertheless, likening Delap or any of our players’ physicality to RK’s brutality is a total misrepresentation, completely out of order.

It was a cowardly assault. He could have confronted Haaland, at any time, off the pitch, but clearly didn't have the nerve for that. Very different to Cantona, who reacted in the moment to disgusting abuse. His 'victim' deserved the assault.
Let's face it, there are some right clowns who follow football. That supporter only hurled abuse because of the camera crew and enough people around to stop him being totally humiliated.
Roy Keane was a half decent footballer but does not suffer fools gladly. You could , or could not excuse him, for having a temperament problem. This incident was just a lack of common sense The right move would have been to totally ignore someone trying to get a reaction. Keane slipped up there.

Idiot fan. We're on show to the world and this eejit does this. Headline news. Not a good look for our great fans who once again did the club proud today.

Wasn’t Keane’s foul on Haaland retribution for a previous incident though? Haaland stood over Keane giving him abuse for play acting when in fact Keane had ruptured his cruciate ligament.
