Keane on Haaland

The whole issue of raising charges at all seems rather pathetic. Someone has printed what KEane might have said. Everything would be based on this quote and what are they going to investigate. What Keane was thinking when he made the tackle? <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laugh Out Loud]" /> . It's impossible and tackles like that happen all the time in football, sadly.</strong><hr></blockquote>

I don't think there's a might about it..it was a quote from him in his book...

We all know that, has to be black and white that it actually was his quote.
 
The point here is Keane made one of the worst tackles ever seen, and plainly admits that he meant to do the player, it was no accident, he wanted to injure the player, no arguments, it was intended to do harm.


Is a four game ban enough for that, I don't care if he gets charges made against him, has he already been punished enough?

Hmm, yeah, assume they have a contract. Don't know if this could lead to criminal charges though. One would assume that it is to the police / court he would have to admit to in that case.
 
i wonder if the FA will dig up the case of Shearer on Lennon if keane gets done

now dont try and say that wasnt done with intent

The only way there will be criminal charges is if Haaland makes a complaint to the rozzers..which I don't think he will..so I reckon this is a moot point..

Gordon Taylor had a fair bit to say tho...a disrepute charge is looking more and more likely IMO...

And there was a fair bit of talk of him being sued

I suspect nobody can sue for libel because Keane and Manchester United's leagal teams will have been through this book with a fine tooth comb. You can only libel someone if you you make up bullshit stories. Keane's book is going to be the most honest football book ever read and that is why the football establishment are afraid of it.

Yeah Davo it was a quote from a book but even the FA admit that they have to examine the context. So how can any of us judge the quote outside of its context?

As I said yesterday, what Keane did on the pitch was wrong. We knew that at the time. But all this 'controversy' about an extract from a book is a non-story. Thats why Alex Ferguson is backing Keano today. They know whats in the book and they know that they haven't been left open to anything.

All this talk about going to court seems rather pathetic to me. These are quotes to a writer, surely they must have thought of the legal aspects. i.e. when it gets hot these are incorrect quotes and the contracts made doesn't state that everything said is actually true but the writers interpretation etc. Not that into law but surely these aspects must be thought of before you publish.

Come on mate, Fergie would back Keane no matter what.

The FA statement is exactly what I'd expect them to say...they're basically stalling whilst they decide what to do...once again, how could these quotes have been taken out of context?

Of course Fergie will back Keane...did you expect anything different? I'd question your lawyers and experts if I were you...even if there is no cause for a case ( which has yet to be confirmed) look at all the fuss that has been caused..and for what gain? I've heard no support for Keane on this from anyone except Mancs...and not many of them

You have a point. I rather think if it had been anyone else, they would have faced internal investigation too. Then again, we don't know what is going on behind closed doors.

Perhaps Fergie is protecting the team, which as manager, he ought to.

He would protect any of his players, if its right or wrong who cares, its natural I suppose, protect his stars an' all.
 
The point I am refering to though is that, Keane seems to be a wild-one when it comes to the press. His comments regarding his team-mates, performances etc seem to go un-addressed by Fergie. I just get the feeling if it was anyone other than Keane, he'd say something.
 
for all those who think keane has stoped the troll from playing this is from his own mouth

"Knee injury wasn't caused by Keane

I had the operation on my knee earlier in this week and it went well. In fact, I wouldn't really call it an operation; it was more of a clean-up job on my knee. And I just wanted to make it clear that it was not the knee that took a knock in the Manchester derby, despite what some papers have reported. It's my left knee that's been bothering me, and it was clearly shown on Sky that it was my right knee that took the knock. Another example of the papers not checking their sources! It's actually been bothering me for the last three months, but I've played through it as we attempted to avoid relegation. Now that we're down, it seemed like the most sensible thing to do it now, to get it out of the way so I'll be ready in time for pre-season. While the others have been preparing for the last game, against Chelsea, I've been having treatment every day in an attempt to get some movement back into my leg. After anything like that, it all goes a bit dead, so they're just trying to get the swelling down and get the muscle working again. It's one of those things that just had to be done and, as I say, it seems to be going well so far."

Sounds like Haaland has great case then against Keane!! As I said before, he hasn't got a leg to stand on! ;)

Haaland subsequently went on his website laughing about Keane's injury and has also posed in front a Munich '58 grafitti. </strong><hr></blockquote>

That's a lie! The grafitti read "Kill United", nothing more. You might be as upset for that (what do I know?), but please keep to the truth.

Right. So your not interested in the principle. Understand.

IT seems that Wenger and the press believe that Gerrard was not correctly punished for his tackle.

Just as some believe that Keane was not correctly punished for his tackle.

There's a huge difference between mistimed tackles that happen every week...and going out with the intention of injuring someone..

Straw clutching
 
But who is to judge that "mistimed" tackle isn't some sort of premediated treatment? No one except the perpetuator would know.

Anyway back to Gerrard, he had mentioned that he wanted to stamp his authority on the game, presumably in midfield vs. Viera. :rolleyes:
Now how would u "stamp ur authority" on a 6ft++ French rock? Definitely not just by tagging his lil' cute tight jersey isn't it? So did Gerrard wanna hurt Viera too? .... :confused: ;)
