It's a reason not to pick on him for singling out players he didn't single out.

Actions like that make me sick. Sure I know duels are being fought out on the pitch and pay-back is all around but you do not kick a guy when he's already down. You just don't.
Stuart - I never said he's a bad player.
Keano did that? That's not like him. Trust me, I've watched the guy play regularly for years. Did the Juve player (who was it?) do anything to annoy Keane? Dive? Bad tackle earlier (not necessarily on Keane)?I'm not looking for an excuse Erik - if he kicked someone on the ground, then there's no excuse, but I'm just saying that it's not like him to do that unless he has a personal dislike of the guy.

Some of you really make me die!!
All this cr4ap about keane.... what bullshit!!
It was a nothing tackle, He sli8d under him and did in no way kick him afterwards.
Its jus another example of peoples hatred towards certain players thgat they have to make up such shit.
Its a physical game and that was a very lowkey foul.
Turn the tv on and listen to neddys own comments on the incident.... to which he had no complaints whatsoever.
The worst offender last night was maresca who was fouling keane all over the park... but no you dont mention that!
Please be objective and truthful

About what? I didn't make any statements, I just insinuated he's a horrible player, which is quite in line with my agenda, whether it's true or not.

I can't remember exactly, but didn't Celebrity Deathmatch have an Edgar Davids who ran through a truck when he got worked up? Or was that just a Nike ad made by the same guys? Details, details...
Anyway, this could quickly degenerate into a slagging match. Iulia would be pleased.
Didn't you have a big fit about off-topic posting recently? :nervous:
Thanks, Fantasista
That's right Glen ... you should be disagreeing even if its just for the sake of it
For as long as its a back 4, the attacking wingback is essential. We keep focusing on the right LB but what if Thuram's crocked? No doubt Zambro can slot straight into RB as well (maybe even surpassing his performance as LB) but we're essentially still one guy short. I can actually envisage Thuram gradually switching into the centre as soon as next season, in coincidence with decisions on the future of Pessotto and Birindelli. Current market conditions favour an immediate move than fire-fighting a year from now.
I remain sceptical as to the 4-2-3-1 actually becoming our main system for the coming season (at least not substantially over the 4-3-1-2 and 4-4-2) Zambro's importance thus, is pretty clear. On the player himself, is it just me or has Zambro modelled his wingplay style to that of Candela's? The way he drags, glides and slaloms his way past his man along the flank with a slightly arched posture on the run reminds me of the Frenchman. The contrast in style is interesting - DP gets past with immaculate balance and timing, Davids with explosive acceleration and trickery, Nedved with acute turns and Iuliano by simply running into his man
Miccoli's speed value is within 5-10 yds and he will find that the 2nd season in topflight football won't be quite as easy as the 1st. I think he'll be a very regular sub at best and thus have limited impact on the 4-2-3-1.
Another note on 2 of the new acquisitions : Maresca and Appiah are very able 2-footed players (yep, tackling included) and strike the ball very well from range. Its one of Nedved's greatest assets (the way he let fly on DP's cutback and also his goal) so that's 3 players who now present a direct threat anywhere in the 20-25 yd range! Think of it in terms of defences being drawn out and space afforded ...

Like Davids is any better.

I don't have a problem with Robbie Keane though..

. Busted .Well... there's always something isn't there? We loan him out because first season will be a tough one in A. Then he comes back after having burned everyone from Nesta downwards, and it will be very tough again, but now possibly more because people know him
?Ok- I know what you mean, but I do think Miccoli is one of those guys who'll profit from a few more weeks of grinding pre season fitness training to take a pound or two off him. He did look a little above his usual stocky frame. Granted though- he is not a 100 meter dasher, but I wouldn't go as far as saying he's all about acceleration at all.
I won't judge anyone as of yet, or make sweeping statements (on other players than Maresca who I've always propably hailed a bit too much
) before we actually get going with the campionato.As far as transfers are concerned- I just don't think we'll be seing any unless we get pre-season injuries. Lippi has not lost any important players, but has gotten Miccoli, Maresca, Legrottaglie and Appiah. Considering our accomplishements last season- I don't think we can realistically expect more to be honest.
Always game for a positive surprise of course, and as you see I'm not saying I wouldn't like that X fine signing that could be made, but I just don't really believe we'll see it, nor do I think it's really necessary looking at our competitors. Afterall- Real Madrid has nothing behind Carlos/Sagado and that says alot no?
Ciao.
Will you please watch it again and stop lying.
Its amazing how the slo mo running in front of me at this very time shows completely different things to what you say.
You can clearly see, Keane comes across the box , places a nothing sliding tackle which takes the ball from neddy's feet and neddy goes over the top of keanes legs.
When keane stops sliding he is some 3 feet from neddy and jumps up he in know way kicks him or does anything untoward.
From tacchis angle it looks bad and he reacts... but there was nothing in it.
If you watch it its even debatable whether it was a foul. Keane came away with ball at his feet, his only foot contact was with the ball
Also if you watch as neddy goes up as keane slides under him he is grasping his outer knee which was not touched.... suggesting more a twist than a contact injury.
And as i said earlier.... neddy himself in a post match interview said there was nothing in the challenge.
Please stop seeing your dislike for the player and watch the replay.
Please someone post a vid of this incident.
