now that keane is gone
I would like to take this opportunity to offer my sincere condolences to riffhard who has fought tooth and nail against the keane detractors on this forum and no doubt in a few irish bars in estonia too on occasion. With similar unbridled aggression (See keowns defensiveness of jenas) I slated him even before he went to the pool and more so on his return but you riffsy would have none of it. I salute you. Loyal to the last word. As keane goes off to brummie land Im sure he will shed a tear for you as without a fan like you he would have no-one to support him. Apparently claudine and her mum thinks hes ok from time to time.
So no longer will we witness the incessant flailing of arms, the gesticulating, the auditions for the lead role in a film about the origins of the mysterious art of charades from the man who felt he was fluent in white hart lane crowd sign language. No longer will robbie be the first man to congratulate a fellow striker on scoring to ensure his face appears in the papers in the hope of fooling 2% of the population into thinking it was he who scored. Gone is this noble irish knight from our beloved club, did he finally amid such arm waving take off into the night in the direction of birmingham in the hope that he might find his, pace, form and a similar wage packet.
It appears he has my friends and i will have no sleepless nights because of it.
Riffsy if you are aggrieved by his loss dont worry. We are apparently after a whole raft of players we dont need to replace him. Peenuts, orville the duckham and andy the jugger-nought carroll.
The ftutres bright its lily white
