Keane video reopens Shearer vendetta

CliffyG · 14 Nov 2002 at 13:15

Roy Keane could be in trouble with the FA again after revealing he wishes he had punched Alan Shearer before being sent off at Newcastle last season.

Keane got his marching orders for pushing Shearer after the Newvastle skipper had wound the volatile United skipper up with his time-wasting tactics.

And, in his new video - Roy Keane: As I See It - Keane says: 'I was sent off for pushing him (Shearer) - but if you`re going to get sent off, you might as well punch him properly. It's the same punishment.

'You might as well get hung for a sheep as a lamb. It was just a push, though. Ridiculous.'

Keane has already been banned for five games and fined £150,000 for revealing that he meant to hurt Manchester City`s Alfie Haaland in his autobiography.

I can't believe how stupid Keane is, i'm not agreeing or disagreeing with anything but surely after all the trouble from his book he'd have the sense to keep his mouth shut for a while.

yeah he sure is an idiot, hope he gets another suspension for this

also have these ever had problems before and what happened between them coz i had kinda lost interest in football when this happened :/

*edit* just read it and it says shearer wasted time but did keane annoyed just over that or was there something else

i dont honestly see how this means he wanted to punch shearer ?

it basically is having a go at the current guideleine saying that if you punch somone you get the same as for a push ?

from that absract it doesnt appear to say he wished or wanted to punch shearer ?

however very very silly keano

I know what you mean, doesn't mention wishing to do anything. Still deserves a lengthy ban though

that doesnt mean he wanted to punch him

he is simply stating the way the punishment system works.

If he had said yeah i only pushed him but I should have punched him then yeah fair do's but this to me looks like it has already been blown out of proportion.

I agree with you, my point was that it was stupid for him to say it.

it can be interpreted in 2 ways though, 1 way is like u said is that the system is screwed and the other is he should have punched him, i dunno which one he meant though, maybe we should ask Fergie im sure he will know

maybe they should ban keane for the rest of season!
excellent idea

Great footballer that he is, he really is a muppet. I think he's just a big walking ego.

There's a difference between having an ego and being stupid. Keane ha not only stepped over the line, he's so far past it the line is a dot on the horizon

In my view mate he doesnt even say that !

talk about blowing things out of all proportion !

Bungee · 14 Nov 2002 at 16:43

Maybe, but what other player would say that sort of thing and mean it?

I can't think of one....
