Programme on TV here about Roy Keane. The following are quotes, or as near as dammit quotes. Keane - "Love playing at Old Trafford and United Full Stop" Finisih playing at OT and career 34-35. "Great Bunch of Lads" - Keane on team mates. Becks said he thought best captain was Robbo but Keane is better. Gary Neville said he and Keane fallout every day (he said jokingly) Ruud said said Keano is a mean, tough, hard player. I thought programme may be of interest to those who havent seen it. Editing wasnt very good because it was a little confusing at times as to which events he was talking about..
This is out on DVD, do you reckon it's worth buying for those Keano fans that will never see it? (ahem ... like Australians. ) BTW does it show footage of the infamous tackle on Alfie Haaland of Manchester City?
Stupid dvd regions, the thing won't play in the US. But I must say, his autobiography was interesting to say the least.
I prefer the book. The TV programme has obviously a few things the book hasnt got. That tackle is in. If it was me I would pass, I was lucky because it was on TV though. If you want to spend money on Man U vids get one with George Best. George was the best! To be honest he was probably the best player United ever had. He played in the days when defenders can really tackle! (replace tackle for foul)
You would do well to buy George Best stuff. He is the greatest player to ever pull on a United jersey. All hail Bestie!!!
DVD regions? I am unfamiliar with that. So Euro DVDs don't work here? Otherwise I'd love that video, being the last Roy Keane fan in the Denver metro area.
The world is divided up into DVD regions 1-6, with slightly different encoding and the DVDs have to match up to the players. 1. U.S., U.S. Territories, Canada, and Bermuda 2. Japan, Europe, South Africa, and the Middle East, including Egypt 3. Southeast Asia, East Asia, including Hong Kong 4. Australia, New Zealand, Pacific Islands, Mexico, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean 5. Former Soviet Union, Indian subcontinent, Africa, North Korea, and Mongolia 6. China DVDs from outside your region might work on your DVD player, but thats not a sure thing. There are "region free" DVD players, but those have to be bought over the internet and some DVDs won't work on them for whatever reason. I guess this is all done to limit piracy of DVDs.
If you're a football fanatic in the US, then I think these players warrant purchase as there are many great titles available in Europe that simply may never be available in DVD format here. In many comparisions I've made, the overseas dvds were cheaper to buy then their US video equivalents. As for some dvds not working, I've had no problems with the discs I've bought from England, Scotland, France, Spain, Portugal, Holland, Italy, and Germany. I think the problem lies in what type of modification is used and where/which player is purchased. As we all know there are lots of shady etailers out there so it's best to research dvd forums that recommend certain websites.
Regions are more of a marketing thing. Stopping you getting the latest films. In the UK we tend to get films months after the US, allowing the hype to build. Some DVD drives for computers can be switched between regions, usually they allow some many changes before being fixed in one region. Some DVD players can be modified to play different regions, multi region players are widely advertised here, but a multi region player by modification usually invalidates the warranty. United are keen to sell you Vids and DVDs, so you shouldnt have a problem there, its the other goodies. There may be a lot of things people dont like about us but we have loads of footy vids and dvds. Anyone interested in Uniteds history, aught to get a vid/dvd with George Best, Dennis Law & Bobby Charlton. Imagine ryan Giggs...but better and you have George Best. Bestie a truly great player, especially running at players. Mid/late 70's...pretty barren...but we had Steve Coppell, Stuart Pearson, Martin Bucan, Joe Jordan and Gordon McQueen. Worth watching for cup final appearances. 80's - Captain Marvel..Bryan Robson, Remi Moses (poor Remi career ended by injury), Norman Whiteside (hard drinker sold by Fergie to Everton had to retire through injury) what a goal in the 85 cup final, after Moran was sent off. Sparky..sorry got carried away but if you can vids/dvds with those players on you should be entertained. I have a great book which has every player who played for United since WW2 up to a bout 4 seasons ago. There are some interesting books available on United, quite a few are available in bargin shops.
