He wouldnât hurl cunts to eggâs
Is this thread supposed to be about Ciaran McKeever or Kieran McKeever?
this cannot be about the division 3 footballer, right?
Haters gonna hate.

Division 3 Champion 
I read an article by Barney Ronay in The Guardian this week which described the looks on association football pundits faces.
Martin Keown was described as looking âsad and brave, like a man giving an urgent, heartfelt funeral oration for a much-loved family gerbilâ.
Niall Quinn was described as looking âlike a corrupt policeman falsifying evidence in front of a local authority subcommitteeâ.
Danny Murphy has âthe look of a man who might suddenly announce that he spent three days walking to the studio from Anglesey and would anyone like to buy a bag of meat.â
McKeever always has the look of a child shoplifter who has been caught by security, pleading his innocence, about to break into tears and cry for his motherâs intervention.
An incident which occurred on a pitch and putt course at the foot of Bray Head, on which I was playing a round with my younger brother in August 1995, also reminds me of the look on McKeeverâs face. A child of circa 12 year old with a strong Dublin accent and a haircut identical to McKeeverâs was playing a few holes ahead of us with a group of his friends. He was thin and gaunt looking, he had the look of a child who didnât normally eat a breakfast, not a million miles away from the look of a child peering through a concentration camp fence during World War II, very similar to the child in the film âEmpire of the Sunâ in fact. He was wearing a new Tottenham Hotspur jersey, manufactured by Pony and with âHewlett Packardâ written on the front.
The group didnât appear particularly concerned with trying to improve their pitching or putting skills, and were more interested in chasing each other around the course, wrestling with each other or putting each other into head locks on the fairways and aiming tee shots at each otherâs heads. Somewhere on the early stages of the back nine, it became apparent that one of the boyâs friends had his Tottenham Hotspur jersey in his hand and was running around with it, teasing him and goading him getting the now topless boy to give chase to get it back. Within a few minutes the jersey nowhere to be seen. The Tottenham fanâs friends were laughing. This went on for about 15 minutes, whereupon they left the course, leaving their friend. As myself and my brother played the closing holes, the boy, gradually moving towards a tearful state, ran around the course, searching in vain for his new Tottenham jersey, gradually becoming more and more frantic, searching in bushes, asking other players had they seen his precious jersey. They had not. The boy was alone, with the shirt off his back gone forever, and eventually the anxious look on his face descended into a full blown tearful state.
I only mention the incident now because McKeeverâs default look when penalised by a referee is the exact same as the pre-tearful look of that boy as he frantically searched, in vain, for his jersey.
Mckeever was a decent mulloker, think he was nominated for a hurling and football all start as well in maybe 1999 or 2000 , only Ray Cummins if i am not mistaken has won both in the same year
that was a very soft all ireland derry won in 93 beating a very poor cork side, it wasnt as soft as the all ireland won by down ( 91 and 94) and donegal (92) but it was at a time when football was at a pretty low ebb similar to hurling from 1994 - 1998

It was arguably the toughest All-Ireland ever won, mate.
arguably it probably was
@Sidney, speaking of Barney Ronayâs descriptions - I was reading his Cesc Fabregas article earlier and nearly broke my hole laughing at his description of him. Concluding that he possesses lovely passing skills but doesnât have the speed, drive or presence to operate at a truly elite level any more, he said that âhe has become a containable high-class player, a kind of footballing Stephen Hawking, the trundling megaâbrain in need of a supporting entourage to wheel him into place.â I couldnât stop laughing but people are seething at the offensive reference in the comments section below the article.
Keezer makes his first league start for Armagh against Galway this Sunday.
Armagh expects.
Couldnât expect any less thats for sure.
The great Ciaran McKeever has retired from inter-county football.
Armaghâs agent provocateur extraordinaire.
We may never see his like again.
Goodbye Keezer.

Iâll always remember him for the time he kicked Billy Sheehan in the hole
