He was simmering just below boiling point all the way through, nearly abused some hack for not turning off his mobile at one point, and spoke an awful lot of refreshing sense. Damn shame we haven't got more people like him in the game who say what they think instead of spouting blandola clichés. Saw Arsene Wenger asked about the Henry handball too, but apparently he didn't see it..;) - GPalmer Sat, 21 Nov 2009 12:54:21 +0100 http://www.thevillablog.co.uk/aston-villa-blog/aston-villa-views/a-victory-for-the-irish/#comment-56843 [quote]Greg1981 said: ...

Up with a new blog Damo, the day is already old ! - Rattus NorVillicus Sat, 21 Nov 2009 10:25:30 +0100 http://www.thevillablog.co.uk/aston-villa-blog/aston-villa-views/a-victory-for-the-irish/#comment-56839 ak47 i remember things a bit differently. Seemingly Keane was trying to the raise the standards for the irish players, he had to try and ruffle a few feathers to get results. Seemingly the training pitch was a joke and their container full of gear and equipment hadnt arrived, the list went on and on. He said he felt it was an amatuerish set up and yes he did turn his back. But he came back after the uproar in the country. Only to be booted out by mick mcarthy the 2nd time. I remember it as a farce and i remeber blaaming mick for not being able to deal with the situation, he was happy to settle for 2nd best. Anyway the opinion is divided on keane, maybe he is right and the FAI do need a kick up in the arse. I rate stephen ireland as more of a traitor , i can remember keane winning games for us almost singlhandidly for us, and although he left under a shroud i wont be ungratefull for that - Greg Sat, 21 Nov 2009 02:17:54 +0100 http://www.thevillablog.co.uk/aston-villa-blog/aston-villa-views/a-victory-for-the-irish/#comment-56838 Greg he had quit the squad before that had hapened(many seem to ignore that). He was looking for a way out and he found it and he managed to drag McCarthy down with it. He is a traitor and always will be in my eyes. He is beggining to show himself up for what he really is now as a person. Its about time people see that man for what he really is. Scum. Badger i rate Bellamy very highly and he would make a big differance to us. - Adrian Kilgallon Sat, 21 Nov 2009 00:49:24 +0100 http://www.thevillablog.co.uk/aston-villa-blog/aston-villa-views/a-victory-for-the-irish/#comment-56837 come on he was thrown out of the squad by mick mccarthy, who ridiculed his captain in front of the squad by sayin he feigns injurys to get out of friendlies, anyway thats very debatable. He was foaming at the mouth in that interview i thoughthe was going to burst at one stage. He's achieved much more in the game as joey Barton. Anyway cantona saw lots more red than keane so is he a joey barton too? methinks not. matt26may1982 good one, im stumped there, u didnt go an start it by callin every1 in here clowns so since i was in here too, i yeas took it personal and thought id put a little upstart like you into his place. Did mommy read you a bed time story before you went to sleepies. Night love x x x - Greg Sat, 21 Nov 2009 00:40:59 +0100 http://www.thevillablog.co.uk/aston-villa-blog/aston-villa-views/a-victory-for-the-irish/#comment-56836 [quote]Badger the man walked out on his country and has taken every opperunity to have a pop since. I could go into far more things about that scum bag but i couldn't be bothered. But he really isn't too far off what Joey Barton is and he should not be put up there as a role model or respected for the way he has conducted himself in the game. Great player yes. Outside of that a phycopathic scum bag and one i really hope gets what he deserves. I really hate nobody more on this planet then that man.[/quote] I've always seen him as a geezer who won't accept mediocrity, myself. Demonstrated by his rant at the Wolves nobody (who absolutely will not be remembered for anything, imo). Headbangers are sometimes OK, imo. You want to know what we're missing? Bellamy. As much as it hurts to say it. I don't give two flying proverbials what anyone says. He would make us top flight, imo. - Steve Badger Sat, 21 Nov 2009 00:33:58 +0100 http://www.thevillablog.co.uk/aston-villa-blog/aston-villa-views/a-victory-for-the-irish/#comment-56835 [quote]Roy Keane is a mad dog.

Of course, it didn't happen. What's he done to deserve this disdain? I've obviously missed something, but if it was ripping the FAI to pieces, I suspect thet deserved it. - Steve Badger Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:29:36 +0100 http://www.thevillablog.co.uk/aston-villa-blog/aston-villa-views/a-victory-for-the-irish/#comment-56832 [quote]Honour ? Your namesake, speaking of the Yanks, said he would do a deal with the devil if it was in Britain's interest. Honour ? BALDERDASH ! [/quote] Could not be more true. Its all about winning what ever way you can achive it. If Villa were to get 5 penalty decisions this season were any of our players dived and it meant us getting in champions league would we really care ? Sport is all about self interest and not moral interest. That competive nature of a game will push players & managers to push the rules to the limit. If there is anyone to blame it’s not the players but the people who create the rules and are stuck in a time warp and insisting on not bringing in modern technology. It’s funny because watchning it on T.V we saw a replay of the incident in the space of seconds. So it’s not as if the flow of the game would be disrupted. Onto Villa Tommorows game to be honest is hard to predict. It reckon it will be dependent on 2 things :- . Team selection. Lets hope we select our strongest eleven and players playing in there strongest positions. Fingers crossed. . We don’t concede that early goal. - Ammar Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:20:23 +0100 http://www.thevillablog.co.uk/aston-villa-blog/aston-villa-views/a-victory-for-the-irish/#comment-56831 Anyone who thinks that Roy Keane is anything other then an absolute scum bag is a complete twat and would really want to take a look at who they respect in this world. You probably like Joey Barton as well. - Adrian Kilgallon Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:33:26 +0100 http://www.thevillablog.co.uk/aston-villa-blog/aston-villa-views/a-victory-for-the-irish/#comment-56830 gregdavillain, Shhh now take your pills son, i mean your e pills little kid. When you grow up and face the facts you will start to learn a little about life. You seem to want to get personal, must have touched a nerve, guilty feeling that you infact are an idiot and a clown, certainly a dickhead. Perhaps you are a potato hider too. - matthew halsey Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:29:27 +0100 http://www.thevillablog.co.uk/aston-villa-blog/aston-villa-views/a-victory-for-the-irish/#comment-56829 Total different subject here, going back to earlier in the week when people voted for ther team formation & players for each position and the 4-2-3-1 which i choose aswell was the formation chosen. Now i really like the look of the team set out like that and it was all based around when downing returns. But is that the way most people think that mon will set the team out? For me maybe & hopefully but if he was couldn't he already line up with this formation...... ---------------------------freidel---------------------- ----young------------collins------dunne---------warnock-- ---------------------cocker-------petrov----------------- ---gabby------------------milner---------------young---- --------------------------carew------------------------- Its hard to tell sometimes in games because we seem to change round quite alot, so we possibly have played like this at some point, but i would like to see us line up like this especially when downing is fit!! any thoughts? - cockneyvillan Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:28:38 +0100 http://www.thevillablog.co.uk/aston-villa-blog/aston-villa-views/a-victory-for-the-irish/#comment-56828 Tubby, [quote]I am amazed at how many people Henry was a hero to. I know he is a brilliant footballer but I always thought that if you didn't support the club he plays for you could only detest the guy. [/quote] That's rubbish mate. A class footballer is just that. And I've seen Pele and Cruyff at VP. A player of his calibre is one in a generation if you're lucky, simple, imo. Whilst I suspect you're right in that a lot of things he's done have been pre-conceived, I suspect that just makes him a class above Beckham, who wasn't a patch on Henry, imo. Anyway, onto the Villa. That's much more important to me :) - Steve Badger Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:23:28 +0100 http://www.thevillablog.co.uk/aston-villa-blog/aston-villa-views/a-victory-for-the-irish/#comment-56827 Roy Keane is a mad dog. He's practically foaming at the mouth. He should be put down. He'll get the boot from Ipswich soon enough and in a couple of years he'll be as quotable as Paul Ince or Brian Robson. Would you like him as your next door neighbour ? Me neither. - Rattus NorVillicus Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:50:09 +0100 http://www.thevillablog.co.uk/aston-villa-blog/aston-villa-views/a-victory-for-the-irish/#comment-56826 Churchill, I am very concerned. Now, you know I love your work. You know I am a style over substance man, but I'm gonna have to sit on Pancho's fence here. Young is a cheat. I forgive him. And therefore I forgive Henry. It is a game. Being the best at a game is always about pushing the boundaries of the rules. - James Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:47:03 +0100
