ROY KEANE RETIRED

i came home to find my mum and siblings not at home. i thought that they were spending their time at AMK ave 10 but no, they spent their time at my cousin's new house. so, they won't tell me ah. anyway, spent my time watching MUTV. starhub cable kinda like gave us free channels for a period of time. gotta make full use of it! watched Man Utd tv all the way!! then, kinda like realised that MUTV was airing, more of gonna air, the Roy Keane testimonial match at OT. i seriously didn't know that Roy was going to retire!! ARGH!!! if only i had the chance to meet him when Man Utd was in town long, long time ago! however, i was really young at that time hence i don't have much freedom to go out. life sucked at that time. i'm glad that i've overcome that part of life.

anyhow, that match was very exciting and intense! both teams really had that hunger for goals and really defended their turf as if it was so sacred! keano was in the celtic team for the first half. nothing really happened during the first 45 mins. when the referee blew his whistle again to mark the start of the 2nd half, the match was heating up! ever since keano became the Man Utd captain for the next 45 mins, the pace of the game was like a snap of a finger, fast. on the 55th mins, giggsy did a volley to cristiano where the ball was simply dribbled by cris and shot under the goalie's legs! GOAL!! that was nice, i must say. it's been a long time i've seen cris scored goals. anyway, the kinda touching part was when cris hugged keano. oh, those were the days... oh yea! before i forget,

players played:
howard(van der sar, half time)
pique(neville, half time)
ferdinand(silvestre, half time)
vidic
brown( lee)->don't know when
ronaldo(o'shea, 83')
giggs
evra(keane, half time)
richardson(campbell)-> don't know when
rossi(scholes, half time)
saha(solskjaer, half time)

well, it looks as if the whole team was substituted. hahaha but who cares? at least they had fun playing a last game with keano. as i wanted to say earlier, the 2nd half was like a trip down memory lane. with players like scholes, giggs, solskjaer and keane. yea, all those old timers. it's like dejavu! those were the days... i will surely miss it all.

well, i'm really gonna miss Roy Keane for sure. he's been a great captain for Man Utd for years. without him, i don't think the young players will learn from their mistakes as keano was famous with his critics.haha.

I SALUTE YOU, KEANO!!

cheers!
