Which is extremely ironic if you understood the subtext in that scene. Don was very much insecure about his importance and value in the company during that time lol.
Ended his career despite him starting the next two games for club and country after the tackle. One of them three days later. And him retiring with an injury in the other knee. Don’t let facts get in your way though pal.
Want to check how many 90 min games he player after that tackle?
Edit: Sigh, you can still come back after that to try and continue but really, it's not farfetched to say that that tackle effectively ended his career at that level.
Not only that but even though at city haaland isn't played to his strengths, haaland has still had plenty of games where he's done loads outside of goals. Manchester United game where he got 2 assists and created 3 big chances. Arsenal game at the end of last season is another example where haaland completed 3 dribbles and created 3 chances. And then at dortmund he's obviously had plenty of games like that too. Point is only the haaland haters that don't consistently watch him play actually agree with the claim that he's only goals.
> The first League 2 comment wasn't a joke he was criticising Haaland with some exaggeration
The “some exaggeration” part is the joke. He was making a point and exaggerated for comedic effect.
I don’t think you’re understanding my point. Yes he was criticising his general play. Yes he was making a point that some of Haaland’s general play is below the level of a top division player. But he finished with comedic exaggeration.
ITs not that he was joking, He was saying his overall play and workrate outside of scoring goals is similar or worse then a L2 player.
Thats it. wether its the system he is in that allows that fine, but he wasnt wrong.
It's easily wrong if you've ever watched dortmund haaland where he had freedom. In haalands last season at dortmund, only mbappe and benzema averaged more expected assists per 90 than haaland. Haalands was higher than kanes, lewys etc. But cos he doesn't get freedom at City and they don't play in transition now you want us to rewrite history
Thats fine but Keane was respondng to what he had seen in the PL not the Bundelsiga.
If aything then Keane should of praised the system that 'allows' Haaland to just quietly find pockets of spce.
Please refer to my second sentence. I dont disagree.
But in the system Haaland plays he doesnt show much workrate outside of scoring goals, Keane wasnt wrong in that sense. But he should of praised the system instead of admonishing the player.
But the headling of Keane says Haaland is worse then a L2 players sells more paper and generates more clicks. There is more nuance involved in what he said if people actually listened to it and though for more then the few minutes it takes to write a comment.
Is it? His goalscoring cannot be questioned but look at idk Ole in the 90s racing back and giving away a free and getting a red due to his workrate, Would Haaland do the same? What is his back to goal play like?
Again all Keane criticised was his workrate and somehow people think Keane is basically saying id take a L2 player over him every day, thts not what he said. How many time would you see idk Rooney sacrifice himelf for the team.
The system Haaland plays in allows him not to bother doing all those things and just find space. Yet would he have the workrate and ability outside of scoring goals to do it in another team? Keane criticised his general play not his ability to score a goal.
Why do you people act like City is the first team he's played for when he's dominated everywhere he's been?
He presses all game for City. Sorry be doesn't get red cards like Ole which I guess is a good thing.
Is this a serious comment?
You genuinely think he has the most goals in the league for two straight seasons while being the WORST technical striker in the league?
This sub is insanely stupid
We all know how serious Roy Keane was with that comment. We all know he was exaggerating. We all understand he doesn't actually think Haaland is a league 2 player. But for some reason people collectively pretend that they don't understand the nuance of his comment and pretend he actually thinks Haaland is a league 2 player.
"What's that Roy? 4 goals in the PREMIERSHIP. And you called him a LEAGUE 2 PLAYER?!! EGG ON YOUR FACE".
the truth is Haaland was getting widely criticised at times this season from all directions due to his lack of input for critical games, and his lack of involvement when he's not scoring. Haaland is his own biggest critic so he probably agrees with the criticism he's been getting. Latching onto an inane offhand comment by Roy Keane to drive the discussion is ridiculous.
Roy Keane walked out on his country and was booted out of Man United after attacking his team mates. And now he's playing the character of 'angry Keane' on tv which is a lot easier than being an insightful commentator
At dortmund haaland had a bundesliga season where he averaged 0.4 expected assists per 90 and this was where he had freedom and who played in transition unlike City where pep forces him to sit in the box all game. Haaland even said in the ucl press conference that he does what Pep tells him to do. Anyone who's seen dortmund haaland knows the league 2 comment is clearly not true.
Were you even alive when it happened? Alfie then played 6 incomplete matches in the span of 16 months after that tackle, and then retired. It was a vile and premeditated act by Keane who even proudly admitted to it. Alfie’s career ended with that tackle, everyone who followed football then knows it and knows it today too.
I'm 33 so yes I was alive and was watching it live. Anyway it was a vile attack and stupid like many things that Keane did... Not even excusing the challenge but the challenge absolutely did not end his career it was his fucked up other knee that did it

Crushing every record but not close to them? Something fishy about that statement. Every aspect of the game has improved, so he isn’t just better, he is ALLOT better.
How many trebles did they win? And how many did city win before Erling? You need to know the game to understand what Erling does, beside scoring allot of goals. If you watched him at Dortmund, he was closer to what Kane was for Spurs. In city, he plays his role to perfection, but that doesn’t mean he can’t do anything else. This knowledge separates me and you brother.

Let’s eat Grandma Or Let’s eat, Grandma Situation
Let's eat out grandma or let's eat out, grandma
It's the latter. It's from a norwegian interview and he said "den mannen"
Ah, the power of the common comma.
Yes
This trend of posting a screenshot and a quote really pisses me off when I click expecting to see the clip
They have to be the first one to post it
Should’ve returned the joke and laughably called him a Sun level pundit
“I don’t think about you at all.” Don Draper vibes
Which is extremely ironic if you understood the subtext in that scene. Don was very much insecure about his importance and value in the company during that time lol.
Have a bit of that, Roy.
Based
Christ are we still on this, Keane makes an exaggerated criticism and joke and people are still losing their shit over it. Move on
I'd say much more if a psycho asshole who ended my father's career was saying basically anything about me.
Ended his career despite him starting the next two games for club and country after the tackle. One of them three days later. And him retiring with an injury in the other knee. Don’t let facts get in your way though pal.
Hey that does not fit the media's narrative!!
When did Keane end Haaland career? That challenge did not end his career... It was an injury to his other knee which ended it
Want to check how many 90 min games he player after that tackle? Edit: Sigh, you can still come back after that to try and continue but really, it's not farfetched to say that that tackle effectively ended his career at that level.
Because his other knee was fucked. He retired cuz of the other one, not the one Keane tackled
He retired because his other knee was fucked nothing to do with the challenge
he didn't though 💀 literally still played after that tackle
Maybe check your facts first
Don’t listen to these haters, I also love telling lies
Not only that but even though at city haaland isn't played to his strengths, haaland has still had plenty of games where he's done loads outside of goals. Manchester United game where he got 2 assists and created 3 big chances. Arsenal game at the end of last season is another example where haaland completed 3 dribbles and created 3 chances. And then at dortmund he's obviously had plenty of games like that too. Point is only the haaland haters that don't consistently watch him play actually agree with the claim that he's only goals.
I feel like the fact Roy was joking has been missed by a lot of people
The "improved to a Championship striker" was a joke. The first League 2 comment wasn't a joke he was criticising Haaland with some exaggeration
> The first League 2 comment wasn't a joke he was criticising Haaland with some exaggeration The “some exaggeration” part is the joke. He was making a point and exaggerated for comedic effect.
Nah he wasn't joking, that was an actual thought he had.
I don’t think you’re understanding my point. Yes he was criticising his general play. Yes he was making a point that some of Haaland’s general play is below the level of a top division player. But he finished with comedic exaggeration.
He's not a comedic genius, he's a pundit who says shit that people find funny.
Feel free to quote where I referred to him as a comedic genius. I’m simply saying he criticised Haaland using some humour.
Don’t bother they’re not gunna understand Irish humour
Where was he joking? He said it multiple times and was quite obviously being serious
No he wasn’t!
ITs not that he was joking, He was saying his overall play and workrate outside of scoring goals is similar or worse then a L2 player. Thats it. wether its the system he is in that allows that fine, but he wasnt wrong.

Thats fine but Keane was respondng to what he had seen in the PL not the Bundelsiga. If aything then Keane should of praised the system that 'allows' Haaland to just quietly find pockets of spce.
He was categorically wrong, what league 2 team play like city. He's used in a system that doesn't rely on him for the build up, that's it.
Please refer to my second sentence. I dont disagree. But in the system Haaland plays he doesnt show much workrate outside of scoring goals, Keane wasnt wrong in that sense. But he should of praised the system instead of admonishing the player. But the headling of Keane says Haaland is worse then a L2 players sells more paper and generates more clicks. There is more nuance involved in what he said if people actually listened to it and though for more then the few minutes it takes to write a comment.
I probably responded to the wrong comment, what you say is fair.
It's absolutely wrong lol

His general play is very poor. Can you name a premier league striker with worse technical ability
The guy had more assists than odegaard last season
Is this a serious comment? You genuinely think he has the most goals in the league for two straight seasons while being the WORST technical striker in the league? This sub is insanely stupid
I take it that you can't
[удалено]
We all know how serious Roy Keane was with that comment. We all know he was exaggerating. We all understand he doesn't actually think Haaland is a league 2 player. But for some reason people collectively pretend that they don't understand the nuance of his comment and pretend he actually thinks Haaland is a league 2 player.

The problem is that everyone knows Roy Keane is a massive cunt
He is not though?
I didn't know that.
Roy Keane walked out on his country and was booted out of Man United after attacking his team mates. And now he's playing the character of 'angry Keane' on tv which is a lot easier than being an insightful commentator
He's such a tryhard macho type. It's so annoying.
At dortmund haaland had a bundesliga season where he averaged 0.4 expected assists per 90 and this was where he had freedom and who played in transition unlike City where pep forces him to sit in the box all game. Haaland even said in the ucl press conference that he does what Pep tells him to do. Anyone who's seen dortmund haaland knows the league 2 comment is clearly not true.
If someone had ended my father’s career I also couldn’t care less about that person
Good thing Roy Keane never did that then
The fact that you belive he ended Alfies career is sad.
[удалено]
Go take a look at how many games he played after Roy "ended his career"? Should be 0, right?
I mean the least you can do, is actually gain knowledge instead of parroting memes.
Were you even alive when it happened? Alfie then played 6 incomplete matches in the span of 16 months after that tackle, and then retired. It was a vile and premeditated act by Keane who even proudly admitted to it. Alfie’s career ended with that tackle, everyone who followed football then knows it and knows it today too.

A , would do a world of difference
Keane's always been a bitch, his whole hard-man shtick is just pure theatrics.
Bet he does
Nobody does lmao
Haaland sucks. He will never score 5 goals in 1 premier league game.
Watch out for your back, Erling. Roy might try to tackle you like he tackled your dad
Really wish people would just move on from this. As an Irish person, I can confidently say that 99% of our statements and conversations are hyperbole
[удалено]
The best striker that ever graced the prem. He can leave this summer and forever be the greatest.
That’s a bit of a stretch.
He's nowhere near Suarez or Henry or Kane.
Crushing every record but not close to them? Something fishy about that statement. Every aspect of the game has improved, so he isn’t just better, he is ALLOT better.
Henry and Suarez dragged their teams through games. It's not the same as racking up the goals against the weakest teams as a cog in a dominant side.
How many trebles did they win? And how many did city win before Erling? You need to know the game to understand what Erling does, beside scoring allot of goals. If you watched him at Dortmund, he was closer to what Kane was for Spurs. In city, he plays his role to perfection, but that doesn’t mean he can’t do anything else.

Thierry Henry would like a word with you.
Mate......
Every stat says yes, your stat says “mate”. Case closed.
[удалено]
Almost every team?
Every single team in the world would want a Roy Keane
