They’ve signed a 39 year old striker who,if you take away his pens,averaged 1 goal in every 3 games during his first not exactly prolific spell at the SOS.

Its looking highly likely that Roy Keane will again be appointed the makem manager.The dog lover chucked the towel in on December 4th 2008,having put them in the bottom three after an embarrassing 1 v 4 defeat to Bolton.In the previous season under Keane,they finished three points above relegation.

Only on Wee-side would you have supporters celebrating such ambition.

He was “richer than Ashley” when he came in apparently and “the mags are fyoamin marra”. 

 

also they don’t know for sure who actually owns the club. Question marks.

The problem remains the owners & lack of cash / revenue. 

Who’s side will the makems take when the inevitable bust up between Keane and Defoe happens?
Mammy’s boy will have to ask his mammy for millions if they have ambitions of getting into the Premier League in his life time.

The strange thing is,all their new signings would have been sanctioned by the owners,so why get rid of the Johnson,who clearly wanted those players?

“Type of character they need to reignite promotion bid” the last bloke had them 3rd :lol: it makes total sense getting a bloke that hasn’t managed in a decade and it went tits up back then though. Fucking hell first Defoe and now Keane, they really do think it’s 2011 :lol: 

 

I still can't get me head round this to be honest, it's fucking surreal.

trying to come up with an us equivalent and the closest I can get is the 83/84 season where we were always seemingly just out of reach of chelsea/sheff wed and played cat and mouse with man city for 3rd practically till the end of the season.

at no point was it ever even remotely considered to sack arthur cox, never mind our entire support demanding it.

I could be forgetting mind, it was a long time ago!

There was some suggestion that things weren’t good behind the scenes before the 6-0 loss to Bolton. But even if that’s the case it just suggests they’re repeating the previous owner’s error of backing the players not the manager. 
And as others have mentioned, they’ve got a canny chance of automatic promotion even after that loss. And it would take quite a collapse in form to miss out on the playoffs even if they weren’t in the top 2

Swing and a miss that got him sent off wasn’t it? After Shearer had wound him up in a match we won. Still, they were buzzing Shearer went off injured when we beat them 4-1 at their place. Or so they claimed

This is the one where HARD MAN KEANE was held back by metrosexual spice boy David Beckham. :lol: 

 
It wasn’t even a proper punch ffs. It was for the cameras. 
 

Shearer less than a yard away, if Keane had intended actually hit him he would have.  

Shearer played it perfectly.
