That is a silly question to ask me of all people swamp. You should know me by now that i dont rate players of today as they are over paid wimps. i would love to see bony or any of our players get stuck in and not pampered that they have to have a week off because a a knock.....Bony would not last 5 minutes back in the days of proper mans football and affordable football as well....wimps the lot of them....
I'm just pointing out that if somebody spat at the majority of people, especially with a snapped cruciate, they'd want some kind of revenge. Can't, in no way, compare the two incidents.
"proper mans football and affordable football as well....wimps the lot of them.... " What a crock. These sort of comments make me sick. In the 'good old days' players with any degree of technical skill were few and far between, and many were useless cloggers who belonged on a rugby pitch. You've only got to look at footage back to the 60's when I started watching the Swans. The pace was much slower and the technical skill on view was virtually non-existent. Before anyone jumps in, I'm not saying certain individuals were not talented. Today's game is far from perfect - too much simulation and no respect for referees are just two examples - but it's highly technical, fast-paced and the players have to be quick-thinking and very, very skilled. Football is a contact sport yes, but it takes skill and talent to do that fairly. You want leg-breaking tackles and crunching bodily contact go and watch the Ospreys.
Patrick Collins stated: please log in to view this image At the time, it was an image which Keane did little to dispel. For him, it appeared, football was a violent game in a violent world. You played, you fought, you prevailed. And if you could inflict a little damage along the way, then so much the better. It was a joyless philosophy, but Keane seemed a joyless individual; truculent, combative, a man who could pick a fight in an empty room. The fact that he was a wonderful player, one of the finest of his generation, only enhanced his aura. Some suspected the aggressive persona was something of an artifice; the cropped head, the jutting jaw, the intimidating stare. There was more than a whiff of calculation about the way he carried himself, but so daunting was the effect that few were prepared to question his credentials. If it really was an act, then Roy Keane was a hell of an actor. - Mail Full Article Link:http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...htmlITO=1490&ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490 Not someone I liked in the game to be honest, just contrast him with John Charles!....................
