yeah i was sopossed to say "i cannot see..."

I think eboue is a decent full back but as someone said earlier he hasn't got a trick from a standing start, can't shoot, cant cross (any more). He is a fair squad player but the sooner we get a proper right winger the better, whether that is hleb or someone new.

Oh and Paul Scholes has never been guilty of that!

Maybe Eboue should write a book in years to come and admit in it the players who he tried to "do" and effectively end their career Roy Keane style hey Panto!

:roll:
speaking of facts..whos career did keane end?...and which team is the most fouled aginast..even though wenger claims it is you ..who do ya think?.
The facts are that Alf Inge Haaland (or however it is spelt) hardly ever played again and in his book Keane admits he intentionally set out to hurt the player!

The fact that started this whole sorry business is that Keane himself launched a horrendous tackle on the same player in previous years which only ended up with serious injury to Keane himself.

The fact Keane then saw fit to try and extract some kind of justice for this is the most ridiculous thing ever!

:roll:
facts facts facts......
no no he didnt ..in fact he didnt even end his game..he played on for that game and until the end of the season..and the next season ..but the biggest fact is ...Haarland retired becuase of an injury to his left leg....keane fouled him on his right leg

I never said he didn't finish the game!

You started the crippling players thread to this discussion.
All I am pointing out is that Roy Keane admits he intentionally wanted to hurt another player and attempted to do this by way of an horrendous tackle!

Fact or non-fact Panto?

Keane's foul was to Haaland's right-leg but that caused the damage to Haaland's left-leg because it caused the knee to rotate violently. Keane's foul did do the damage, no question about that. Haaland tried to come back into resume playing but couldn't, due to the damage Keane had done to him.

There is a reason Keane and United didn't have to pay compensation in the end, but it had nothing to do with Keane's supposed innocence. Haaland had a separate, pre-existing injury that would have caused him to have to retire prematurely in any event. In law, that meant the amount of compensation Haaland and City could recover would have been tiny, because the loss suffered by Haaland as a result of Keane's action was negligible.

United and Keane were very, very lucky Haaland had that pre-existing injury - without it, Haaland and City had an open and shut case for large-scale compensation.

I always respected Keane as a player but he deserved much greater punishment for what he did to Haaland than he got.

Face it, Pancho, the brilliance of United over the past 18 years has been laced with some cynical and dispicable behaviour as well - Keane, Cantona, G Neville, Rooney etc. I accept that our lot have also done some shit stuff but your pretence that United are angelic is pathetic.

Pancho....Why don't you just say

"Congratulations to Arsenal on the best performance in Europe of any English club this season".

You know it's true and you know you want to!

Does Keane admit he intentionally went out to hurt Halland in his book?

Fact or non-fact?

Stop trying to twist it!

If you are going to make crippling player comments Panto at least look closer to home before you start finger pointing!

I have not argued this point ...this is the one you wrote and is factually wrong...

That is utter shit.

1. Keane wrote in his book (with admirable candour) that he went out to "do" Haaland, and once he'd done him, Keane leaned down and shouted into the prostrate Haaland's ear to celebrate having "done" him. Keane was also walking off the pitch before the referee even got the red card out. Pure, premediated violence on a fellow pro, with the intention of damaging him.

2. Once the book was published, and the nature of Keane's intent was clear to everyone, Haaland instructed lawyers to sue Keane and United - i.e. once Haaland knew the facts, he did anything but defend Keane. (I couldn't say categorically whether Haaland posted anything pro-Keane on his website but, having followed it very closely at the time, I can't remember anything like that. Even if he did, it would have been irrelevant given what was in Keane's book.)

Pancho, you don't know what you're talking about here. Best to shut up, rather than come back with bullshit developed by United fans to explain away what one of their heroes, on his own admission, did.
