Tbf, Haaland had put Keane out for 6 months of the previous season with a poor challenge. I just saw Keane’s “tackle” on Haaland being retribution for that. Didn’t mind it from Keane at all, don’t make em like him anymore. Also, it’s a myth that his tackle fucked Haaland’s career, it was his other leg that finished his career, wasn’t Keane. Maybe so, but the tackle was still an accident, what Keane did was reprehensible, and he was one of my favourite** players. **despite playing for Manure  |

Now this is where I'm never sure whether my memory is playing tricks but I always have in my mind that we have a thing with players called Hopkins. Didn't another town player have his leg broken by Robert Hopkins of Birmingham - maybe early 90s? This could all be made up of course 1991-92, not a broken leg, but an injury that ruined Chris Marsden's season - fouled by Mark Cooper during our 3-2 win over Birmingham, after which we were second in the table. Hopkins and Burke were teammates later on at Palace, as Marsden and Cooper were at Town. |

It was more that Haaland stood over Keane giving it the big un whilst Keane was on the floor in agony and helpless.Didn’t mind it from Keane at all, don’t make em like him anymore. Also, it’s a myth that his tackle fucked Haaland’s career, it was his other leg that finished his career, wasn’t Keane. Maybe so, but the tackle was still an accident, what Keane did was reprehensible, and he was one of my favourite** players. **despite playing for Manure Disagree. Think you’re big and hard enough to shout at someone when they are on the floor, you have what’s coming to you. Keane’s I’ll have the last say mentality, is exactly why he’s the best PL captain of all time. A born winner. |

That Cooper weren't up to much after Town either, seem to remember going to Chester and him scoring a free kick in a 2-1 win but that was about his sum contribution. |

Yeah I think we'll have to disagree on whether Haaland deserved it or not, I personally don't think laughing warranted deliberately trying to cripple a fellow pro We completely agree on Keane's ability though it seems. |
