Only Louise Taylor of the Guardian could pen this article about Roy Keane and let him get away with calling everyone else (except him) a hypocrite.

Because remember we’ve already proved that Louise loves Roy.

Interesting thought that depite some very dark times for Newcastle United recently, Louise has kept pretty quiet by her standards regarding the goings on at St James’ Park. Maybe the Guardian have finally listened to all those Newcastle fans who complain on its forums about her admitted bias.

Finally, it’s worth mentioning that in the piecel linked above she writes:

As Keane’s overseer at Nottingham Forest, Clough would not tolerate dissent and his players were famously respectful towards referees. If, as a United player, Keane sometimes forgot those strictures, he has now ordered everyone at Sunderland to adhere to them. “I have made it very clear to the players and the staff at our club - whether they be with the Academy, reserves or my first team - that you have to show the officials respect,” he insisted

Even so, the former United and Ireland captain stresses that there are more heinous footballing crimes than ‘disrespecting’ the men in black. “There has been so much rubbish spoken in the last week or two,” he said. “I have spoken to many old players and they used to go out and try to break people’s legs.”

Of course you’d never get that kind of behaviour from Saint Roy. See below and see the horrible taunting afterwards. But Louise doesn’t question Roy, she only prints what he says.
