We can all acknowledge it, mate. We have to... But you seem to revel in it.
And anyway, the scum's success as a whole is not the discussion here... Roy Keane is. I never said he wasn't a magnificent player - He was. But he abandoned his country AND acknowledged setting out to end another player's career - Any begrudging respect I had for him was lost. He's an utter cunt to me now, and always will be.
'That' argument was when Thommo was chewing him out at Melwood for repeatedly fucking about, and McAteer basically gave him the 'who the fuck are you?' line, to which Thommo replied with something like 'I can show you my medals, if you'd like - That's what football is all about'. Upon hearing this, McAteer retrieved his wallet from the dressing room, got back in Thommo's face, waving a big wad of cash, and yelled "THIS is what football is all about, mate!".
I've heard that story told by more than one person, each of whom I trust to know their stuff. I believe it. So fuck him too.
