I just can't help but feel he would have risen to the occasion yesterday and we could have got to see the irish jig again on the Eastlands touchline! He would have gone crazy and he seems a popular guy with the fans and particularly with his teammates. I just feel a little bit sad he's missed this great occasion, when he was so instrumental in almost bringing it about last time.

I'm certain he'll leave now, which is a bit sad, because respect to the bloke, he's a proper Yid. Unfortunately after the 'Pool debacle he'll probably never go down in history like he should.

After the 5-1 defeat of the Arse and his dance of joy, I would say that at the time I would have agreed with you. But unfortunately once he decided to jump ship and head off to his "boyhood" team of Liverpool (or was it Celtic?) he showed his true colours I am afraid.

I thought he was fantastic for us first time round and I wanted him to be fantastic again for us. As did many others on here and at WHL (The place of CL football

) but except for a game against Burnley early in the season he never reached the heights of former seasons and his passion for the club and ours for him seemed to diminish each passing week until he was loaned out.

It is a shame but I am afraid that although, once he came back to us we could forgive his exodus to Liverpool we can never forget it, neither can we forget the comments he made when doing so.

I still rate him as one of our better players in recent times, but do I feel sorry for him? I would answer that question with one of my own, did he feel sorry for Spurs or its loyal fans when he decided to jump ship and head north to Anfield?

We haven't missed Keano's finger pointing, ref complaining, sitting on his arse, tactics.

Darren Bent, Jamie Oharer and Robbie Keane i hope you were all watching last night!!!

Not a jot of emotion for any of them especialy Keane, he made his bed so f*cking lay in it mate, turned me sour after he pissed of to Liverpool its only down hill for him now, sad in a way but them the choices you make!

**foghorn leggy** · 06-05-2010, 06:07 PM

Whats the betting it`s a boyhood dream for Robbie to play for Spurs in the CL

***yidno1*** · 06-05-2010, 06:17 PM

You could have something there ffs ^

**Irish Yid Pavlyuchenko** · 06-05-2010, 06:20 PM

I think Pav's vodka jig and David Bentley's 'look at me i'm half naked on live tv' jig was better. But yeah, Robbie's a legend but he's had his day. You don't just have a player for a celebration at the end of the season. Unless that players ThfcIre

**Seajay** · 06-05-2010, 07:15 PM

There are many, many Spurs greats who never played in the CL/Euopean Cup, but there time is in the past - and so is Keane's! He was a legend but was is the operative word in that statement! I can see him gone this summer and, while I'll remember him with good feelings, he's not good enough to come back now. Bit like Klinsmann, Hoddle, Blancheflower, Tull, etc.

**Siberian Dreamer** · 06-05-2010, 07:57 PM

He was my favourite player for years until the Liverpool transfer. I still wanted him to do well and prove everyone wrong in his second spell; but his confidence seemed shot (although he still worked hard for the team).
I forgave Sherringham because the guy ultimately needed silverware and came back to help us out of the mire; but there's still a sour taste with Keane.

Taking the players to Ireland on a bender despite 'Arry instructions and all while failing to perform on the pitch.

Don't get me wrong in a Spurs shirt i'll give him my full support as I do with every player during game time. I'll always respect what he did for the club in his first spell too but now I don't miss him one bit and don't think we have suffered in the slightest by him being at Celtic.

Again I know it might not be a popular opinion but my love for Robbie died when he went to Merseyside.

I'm with you. I've not much time for Robbie anymore.

But we reached the CL based on absolutely nothing that he did. He doesn't deserve to share it with us ATM. That said, I am certainly open to him coming back and helping us get there agian next season. Always will have love for the man.

Bit harsh that. Surely 11 goals in 34 appearances is something at least? No worse than Crouch's average anyway (13 in 46 or something if my memory serves).
Yeah I'm going to miss him for sure, but then again I am a softy.

the only ones i give a fook about are the lads who have gave it there all this season to make us the happiest bunch of yids in a long long time!

**Paddyspursfc** · 06-05-2010, 08:40 PM

nobody likes him anymore

**EssexYiddo** · 06-05-2010, 08:50 PM

I'd like to thank Keane.

If he hadn't of ****ed off Ramos would still be the coach and we wouldn't be in the CL right now! haha

**Winger** · 06-05-2010, 09:27 PM

Agree. He and Berba pouting and demanding to be sold cost us dearly the following season. He sealed it for me when he started kissing that Liverpool badge.
