Thanx 4 The Fish

Which is it or do I need to try hard to work out who would miss a friendly game ?

Did he play through to the end of the game before he decided to pull out of the friendly ? Will he play in the next competitive game his club has ?

thejollyrodger

why didnt he just say he didnt want to play the friendly.. Im sick of his ****

eirebhoy

There's no injury. Fergie said outstraight that he pulled him out of the squad because he needs a rest. This is the second time I've heard someone saying he has pulled out through injury.

I've little doubt that Keane would have flew over for the game. Its Fergie, not Keane.

roy keane the only player in world football to pull out of a friendly with an iffy injury

united is more important than ireland now. it's a nothing game for ireland, unnecessary for keane to play. he's right to stay in manchester as this is a huge month for utd. we need him for mancity, acmilan and fa cup. theres no point risking him for a friendly.

ferdinand is out for england through 'injury' also. nobody messes with fergie and if he wants to keep his best players, he'll keep his best players. it's a nice break for keane and ferdinand at a high pressure point in the season. it'll give them time to focus and get themselves fresh for a few massive games.

LOL hardly a surprise is it !!!!

Also Friendlies are times for Kerr to blood fringe players. Roy should stay in Manchester and read his dictionary

Again I'll say it. Roy turned up to Dublin carrying an injury for the game against Poland when everyone from Robbie to O'Brien to Holland pulled out of the squad. I doubt it was his decision to pull out of this one.

May I be the first to wish Keano a speedy recovery. Fingers crossed that he's fit for Uniteds next game? :cool:

but its keane for united with an iffy injury =flamerism

BaZmO*

I am firstly an Ireland supporter and secondly a Utd. supporter and the way I see it is Ferguson decides which games Keane plays for Utd. and which games he doesn't, i.e. leaves him out of the early stages of the FA & League Cup to rest him.

So as an Ireland supporter I know that he will definitley be playing in a lot of up and coming Utd. games and I don't see the point in risking potential injury in a Friendly match that might have an effect on his potential fitness for the next important Irish qualifying match.

I personally think that the reason why people give out about Keane when he misses Friendlies is purely because they don't like the man and it has nothing to do with the "letting the side down" mantra that they constantly and consistently reel off.

eh no, what about Giggs??

Of course there's no injury, anyone can see Keane was fine coming off the pitch, after one of his best performances in years. It's just that Ferguson is now deciding who plays for Ireland and England as well as Manchester United :rolleyes:

d22ontour

giggs doesn't do friendlies

evilhomer

perhaps d22ontours question should have been.
does anyone in world football who doesn't play for man united pull out with an iffy injury?

applehunter

I think we should talk about what happened in Saipan?

Any news this morning on the seriouness of Roy's injury? I had an uneasy night worrying that he may not have recovered in time for the Milan game.

From Fox Sports : Link ( I like the way they ended the piece)


MANCESTER, England (AP) - Manchester United captain Roy Keane withdrew with a knee injury from the Ireland squad to play Portugal in a friendly on Wednesday.

Keane scored the opening goal in United's 2-0 Premier League win over Birmingham at Old Trafford on Saturday. United manager Alex Ferguson said he wanted to make sure Keane was fit for competitive matches.

"There are so many games coming up and I do not want to put a strain on him," Ferguson said. "It is not wise for him to play midweek, he needs a break."

Keane was rested for Ireland's 1-0 win over Croatia in a November friendly.

He walked out on Ireland before the 2002 World Cup after an argument with coach Mick McCarthy, but returned last year under new coach Brian Kerr.

The treacherous bastard that he is !

I think we can let that one go for obvious reasons .... but I'm still checking my atlas to find out where 'Mancester' is.

Sarcasm detector going mad here...

Lads, don't mind what the websites and papers are saying. Ferguson never once mentioned an injury and site like the BBC are saying he has a knee injury. Are they trying to make excuses so Fergie doesn't have to?
