Keane Observations

keane-trainingAfter perusing the Clubs site, I was encouraged to see our skipper making zero excuses and refraining from the traditional one liner of old skippers that did little to encourage me as a supporter and everything to piss me off.

“We had our chances and Owen and Jon Stead contributed to that in the second-half but we conceded three goals and two of them were bad goals to concede.

“We didn’t really get going early in the second-half and we were still recovering from the first goal when they scored the second so it was always going to be hard to get something out of the game after that.”

What I have, also, appreciated from Roy Keane is his apparent self-deprecating humility in realizing he is not going to change the team overnight and that, while he seems to place plenty of pressure on himself to be successful, he allows us (without even mentioning it) to be willing to be patient with him while he tries to transform a bunch of transplants with no sense of commitment to our team or community into a legitimate program that is willing to work for term success.
