Roy Keane

[Klean]

There was no celebrating in the stands. Fans were simply applauding the players efforts at full time. I don't understand why that's worth commenting on.

Because he cares, how many of us have seen something that we have played a hand in building up to its peak get torn down and have to watch? The issue is that we (as fans) have allowed the standards to consistently slide and expectations to slide and now look at us. We are 14th place with more losses than wins on the season.. and we want to make excuses like its acceptable.

We get it Roy! the current United side isn’t that good.

Lucky for you, you get paid handsomely to rant about it on Sky Sports.

Sadly no he does not care if the team wins or loses. He said it clearly when asked in a recent interview by Neville. He said that it will not ruin his weekend if united win or loose. Hence he only keeps going on about United as it is the only way he can stay relevant as a pundit.

He loves the club but the man was a winner through and through with an unbelievable inner drive.
He's got no time for losers and the current squad is full of them. The owners are serial losers in a sporting sense also.

Prime Keane couldn't even play for us now as the rest of the dressing room would drive him nuts with their unbelievably low standards and laid back nature.

Zirkzee got booed once and dozens of people on the caf lost their shit over it. Cue the thread named 'we have the worst fanbase in the world' getting pages and pages of comments in the aftermath, where our fanbase was collectively labelled as toxic due to a few seconds of booing.

Yet when we applaud the players for earning a 1-1 draw vs the 2nd best team in the country, now we're part of the problem for allowing standards to slip? Unless you think we should be booing every single performance until the club is back to fighting for major honours, then the alternative is that there will be some warm applause from the fans on a matchday. That doesn't mean that we think our current league position is acceptable.

Matchgoing fans have very little influence over the long-term direction of the club, so we'd generally prefer to support our players under most circumstances. Sure, we're dissatisfied with being 14th, however if we were to regularly boo the players off the pitch in an attempt to 'raise standards', then it would achieve very little other than making the weekly trips to Old Trafford an even more depressing experience for everyone involved.

I can't recall our fans ever booing off the players under Fergie, even after losing to teams we should have been good enough to beat.

A bit of a shame that Keane is so often the go-to pundit from a United perspective when he seems to have very little love for the club.

I can but it was in the days before we were any good

He's quite terrible isn't he.

This started long before this season. I'm old enough to remember when David Moyes came in and took the team that lifted the title the previous season, and immediately came in and said it was a good season to finish top 4. There was no outcry then and the standards have slipped for the last 10 years.

Matchgoing fans are the best in the league by far, and if people want to cheer or boo its their perogative to do so as they see fit.

You're quite the veteran then!

No it was before his time

 

[Irish Bhoy]

Yeah, I actually think Keane played better in the Holland and Portugal home games than that Juventus one. He was unbelievable.

Agree completely, he was sensational in that qualifying campaign. Absolutely sensational. Peak Roy Keane. Would have Keane in the 6 position if u were picking a greatest ever premship 11. He was world class.

 

[FrankDrebin]

Look I'm old enough to remember when we brought in Dorgu.

Those were the days.
