I dont hate Rafa, i just think hes a bad manager for a variety of reasons and plenty of his ex players have voiced them, what i hate is the fact that some people are completely blind to that. Actually maybe i do hate him a bit, he helped make a joke of the club.
Keane is hated by about half of Ireland. I'm not even close to being unusual in that regard. His arm waving, mouthin off and general moaning all the way through games is disgraceful. And he never takes any responsibilty for his own failings,blaming the media for Irelands failures in an interview on the Late Late Show when maybe we might have fared better if the international get togethers were seen as something other than an opportunity for a piss up.

On Keane - agree on the on field moaning, but surely he makes up for it with goals. He blamed the Meejih? Really. Didn't see what. Yeah but it's hard to keep players disciplined on internationals. I don't fault that, unless it's a night or two before.
But the alleged womanizing, drinking, lifestyle issues etc. would explain the fact no-one wants to sign a player who really has a tremendous goalscoring record in the PL, and with his mileage, isn't too injury prone.
