I play pool against Roy Keane every now and again. He usually beats me. A nicer guy you couldn't meet.

I actually played a match against him back in the 80's. A challenge match against his first club, Rockmount Celtic in Cork. He was only about 15 or so but yeah, the little fucker could play. He was pretty cranky though even then. I also had a pint with his father Moss here in Boston about 20 years ago. He used to be called "Sterling Moss" because Roy would send him sterling notes all the time. He was a boastful old fucker but he was all right.

I will probably get forum banned for this (and possibly correctly) but…

I do not hate Alex Ferguson. I’m sorry, I just don’t.
I don’t especially like the guy, but I can’t bring myself to hate him. Yes I know and understand he was ‘their’ greatest ever manager and he used to bully match officials, but I can’t hate him for that. I hate the match officials and pgmol who allowed it without challenge.
I look at his life. A loyal husband of many decades, a manager who put his club first, second, and third in everything he did. As was his role.
We might hate him for it but it was his job. And he did it well.

I don’t thinking I’ve ever seen or heard an ex manager or player say a bad word about him.

Sorry. If Ric wants to ban me I’ll understand.

The luckiest manager in English football.

Nearly 5 years winnng nowt and not sacked.

First league title coincided with formation of the PL when English football changed forever. Money the game had never seen before given to the top Clubs.

Dippers who had dominated for 25 years went into their poorest decade for 30 odd years.

Won multiple titles when there was no one challenging (Norwich, Newcastle as challengers for example).

The scabbiest treble when they only qailified for CL due to a recent rule change.

He is a stuffy **** and not the genious he is made out to be.

A neighbour behind me has something to do with the guide dog society and Keane is the ambassador for the charity.
He was at your man's house a few weeks ago with Tommy Tiernan. They looked like twins with two big scruffy beards and woolly jumpers on them.

Think that was a cup game vs Leicester.

The abandoned game was vs Ipswich where Vonk was up front. Rocastle did his car Uffington turn in the replay. (

Edit. That’s some auto correct of Cruyff!)

I got biblically wet walking to the ground that day and by the time we were walking home, the sun was out.
