There is a difference between going in for every tackle and deliberately trying to end someone's career, see Shawcross on Eduardo (I think), he never backs out of a tackle but you know he didn't mean to injure the lad. The ref even said to him "I know it wasn't intentional but because of the injury I have to send you off". Football is a contact sport and sometimes people get injured.
Keane didn't even end Haaland's match the soft ****. Reckons he's a hard man but he wouldn't have lasted 5 minutes against any team in the 70s let alone at ER. Got shown for what he is when he was filmed swearing at players in his son's U12 team.
Edit to add Thatcher's was clearly deliberate and he should have been tried for assault or GBH.

The Leeds lads would have eaten him alive...

Chopper Harris Keane would have been interesting..

The only player in Revie's team he would stand a chance against was Eddie Gray. Imagine him or Joey Barton against Dave McKay :O

Huge Fußball fan. Very excited for Euro 2012 and Group B should be interesting. I dislike Portugal immensely and am routing for Germany as my family is German.Really hoping Italy doesn't make it out of the group round.

Will be interesting to see how Poland reacts.

Keane ended his career. Kid came back to play for a while but couldnt move anymore. Should have taken all of Keane's money. Keane is a bigtime asshole. He'll never be a great manager. He's immoral.

Incorrect. Might want to do a little more research before you start talking about topics you (obviously) know nothing about.

Disappointing lack of Ireland in that trailer.

You can't really claim to be surprised, can you?

Cardiff now playing in red after new owners consulted fans, realised it might get their car petrol bombed on the way into matches and did it anyway. Foreign owners

Not having an emotional investment in the team, I have no problem with this. If there was another buyer who wanted to "respect" Cardiff's history, then they should have sought him out. Due to the club's own mismanagement, a buyer came in proposing immediate financial solutions at a price - akin to a firesale of repossessed homes, and the board accepted. Boom. Owner should have complete say of his "product." I have no qualms. Don't drive your club into the ground, seek out new finances, and then complain when the one supplying the money has a different vision or wants to change your baby.

I am, actually. Not for footballing reasons, but because the Irish diaspora is massive, rabid, and vocal.

Sucks for the supporters, though. At least the logo doesn't look terrible (minus the seemingly random bluebird underneath a crest of red and a dragon).

It wasn't the supporters who mismanaged the club or sold the club.

But the owners should have the legal right to do that (although I would change it so the fans must own 50% or more of the club like they do in Germany)

Feels weird having sympathy for Cardiff too, normally I would hope they **** off the the Welsh Premier and have their derby with TNS.

Zidane four years earlier? Would give my right bollock to find out what Materazzi said to him that night.
