roy keane was absent as well last night. completely inept display by United last night. you can get away with 1 or 2 having a bad game. however, United with all their big earning stars were an embarrassment to their club. however, i expect normal service to resume to United very soon. Unfortunately. (
lol - I didn't get to watch yesterday so I wouldn't know how Keane did And if Rainieri can predict that his side will punish Middlesborough this weekend b/c they lost in the CL, we can do the same to Birmingham!
On a related note - Does anybody know definitively if there is going to be an visting fan travel ban at Ibrox or not? I remember when the draw came out the possibility being played down - but never heard the final word Of course, I can understand if they do ban the United fans (given the obvious underlying tensions involved) - Will be interesting to see how "up for it" Keane and O'Shea will be or may be SAF will elect to be prudent
it's a lot more complex than simple protestant and catholic (ranger/celtic thing) and you would not understand. so, just don't go there and please....watch your word! ("silly"???) some of rivalries they have in europe, or south america, africa and asia, you just don't see ihere in us. what?...boston red sox and ny yankees? that's just a hissy fit between two *#*#*#*#*#cats compare to what we are talking about
Actually, you do see incredible rivalries in the US. But they're almost entirely in college sports. My undergraduate degree's from BC. We hated Notre Dame. I'm a graduate student at Texas. We hate Texas A&M. Not sure why the pro-rivalries are as big. Yankees-Red Sox is about as big as they get, though it's much bigger in Boston than in NY, so maybe you haven't seen that side of it. Incidentally, this loss really isn't bothering me that much. I always thought Utd might drops points there. I bet they run the group now.
I'm sorry, why would I have no idea what you're talking about? And what's the point in being rude, anyway? I have an English friend who directly compares the Texas - Texas A&M rivalry to Man Utd - Leeds (born and bred in Leeds... moved to the US at 17). This is new - a rivalry snob
haven... i apoologize for being rude...had few drinks when i wrote that anyway, let's stop talking about rivalry and let's just hope that keane & co. will show huns what they are made of i won't be able to stand the devastation if they don't...
