Well I for one am with Andy Walsh on this one. These players who we have treated like kings have done nothing to help us. The only person who has spoken up is a Norwegian who grew up as a Liverpool fan. He has put our 'top reds' and our captain to shame. Giggs, Keane and the Nevilles are very quotable when they want to be but when it is the future of the club they pretend to love then there is nothing. And for those who will say they can't because of internal pressure not to do so, then it didn't stop Ole.
Roy Keane has been a great servant for this club but he has been paid handsomely already for it. There is no way he needs a testimonial. Testimonials are an anachronism for these highly paid Premiership players who have not had their career cut short through injury. If he wants a testimonial then he should show solidarity with the fans who have supported him through his numerous suspensions for careless actions. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tanya&Mark" <Mark&[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Ryan, John" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "SU Com" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "IMUSA" <imusa@yahoogroups.com> Cc: "SU IE" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, May 31, 2005 9:52 AM Subject: [imusa] RE: [su-ie] Roy Keane's testimonial > We aren't, > > Tanya > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of > Ryan, John > Sent: 31 May 2005 09:51 > To: SU Com; IMUSA > Cc: SU IE > Subject: [su-ie] Roy Keane's testimonial > > > To all SU members and especially those on the committee: > > I would ask you please not to promote any boycott of Roy Keane's > testimonial. > > I do not say this because I am Irish, moreso I am astounded as to why a > player who has given 12 years of sweating-blood-for-the-club type service > should become a target.
