Just to clarify Lynds, I'm not mocking the player but those who are saying it wasn't rafa who signed him it was Parry. Just in case it was me you was telling me off like  (I know I deserve it sometimes but this it weren't me, honest).

It was Rafa every day of the week!

I expect them to sort out their differences now for the good of LFC!IF UTDs recent answer isnt a kick up the hole and a firm reminder that we need to be together then we are fu'cked.
Rafas ego is huge and he needs to drop it and sort out what ever has went on with Keane and him now!

I think if you were trying to defend Keane Bob, it might have been better not to have included his misses in that clip mate, they looked even worse than I remembered.

Not trying to excuse those misses at all, mate...they were retched.  But, there's no chance that Keane caused Alonso's injury.  That comment's well over the top and it needed to be cleared up.

I cant wait for Keanes first season montage, 2 minutes of misses 

I'm sorry that wasnt funny, I like the guy I do!  But, keep your balance a bit more...

Great finished in that vid, the Arsenal goal can be added there.  I can see them piling in once Rafa and keane get their sorted.  But the misses HAVE TO STOP.

I blame Keane, and then by definition I blame Rick Parry. Because Rafa didn't even want to sign Keane in the first place, it was Rick Parry. Rafa did though want to sign Torres, and Alonso, but I've a hunch that he actually wasn't that keen on Babel, it was Paco who ganged up with parry to sign him.

...u forgot degen ....tom hicks wanted benitez to sign him because he was free....

John - Keane's pass to Alonso wasn't short it was totally unnecessary and I am at to loss to see how you can continue to defend Keane for not taking the shot when he was given a fantastic goal scoring opportunity. And don't try to convince me that it was an admirable piece of unselfish play !!!

This whole notion that Keane got Alonso injured with a hospital pass is just complete and utter nonsense.  Keane did pass up the shot in the dying minutes of the first half at Preston but he laid it off for Riera, not Alonso.  Riera had his shot blocked by Davidson and the ball squirted loose in the box.  Alonso tried to get there first but Davidson got up from his sliding challenge quickly and got his tackle in just as Alonso was making contact--that's how he got injured.  It's all very clealy visible HERE starting at about the 1:35 mark.  Any suggestion that the blame for Alonso's injury lies with Keane simply reeks of bias towards the Irishman.

Spot on!

But are you surprised that he's been blamed?
Im not...some people on here are so negative about everything they create little scenarios in their heads just for something extra to moan about!

Let's clear one thing up. I don't, unlike many others, look only for the negative in Liverpool FC.

Call it utter nonsense if you like but as the video clearly shows a very highly paid professional footballer lacking in confidence played a totally unnecessary ball and the result, however you want to look at it resulted in an injury to Alonso's foot. We (yes WE) pay Keane a massive amount of money to make the right decisions and complete goal scoring opportunities. He has failed on both counts far to often and his performance against Preston,who let's face it aren't actually setting the Championship on fire,was his worst so far by a very long way. I am not saying that Keane's actions were deliberate and that he went out of his way to get Alonso injured. I am simply saying that Alonso should never have had to take the shot if Keane had done the job WE pay him to do!

I stand by what I said and I do not feel that I am being overly harsh to a player who receives a massive wage and cost a fortune who simply is under achieving and not doing the job we we brought him in to do. Garcia was criticised to the hilt, but not by me, for making too many mistakes but without his CL goals 2005 could have turned out a lot different! Garcia scored 11 goals in 32 CL matches during his three seasons at Liverpool and he was castigated by a lot of supporters so forgive me if I'm getting frustrated with a player that cost more than three times as much and has so far produced very little by comparison. I actually think that Garcia and Torres playing together would have been interesting and saved us £17m - JUST A THOUGHT - I can already feel some of the flack coming in my direction !!!

Right, we'll have to dig back through the archival footage to see what other injuries, cards etc. Keane has caused.  Maybe he did a step over rather than taking a touch which, 8 passes later, led to Torres tweaking his hamstring the first time.  And I think his air kick in Madrid produced the butterfly effect that has led to the global economic downturn and all the trouble in Gazza as well.  He's got a lot to answer for, does Robbie.

butterfly effect it certainly is here is the 10 reasons.

1 Ramos got sacked because he moved to Liverpool.
2 He give Benitez Kidney stone problems.
3 He led to Torres hamstring problems.
4 Alonso got injured because of him.
5 Kuyt has played as a lone striker again because Benitez doesn't rate Keane.
6 Gerrard glassed somone in a club because Keane's name was mentioned.
7 Benitez's contract has been rejected also over Keane.
8 Keane has been left out in the cold so much that Merseyside has seen it's coldest winter in years.
9 Mascharano and Reina also had a bad case of flu in recent weeks.Keane was seen to sneeze in the dressing room before they came down with the virus.
10.Berbatov would of stayed at spurs if Keane wouldn't of left and wouldn't of scored the Mancs winner yesterday so liverpool would still be top of the table.

Robbie Keane you have a lot to answer for.

[Rorschach26]

not to mention the fact he looks like Tony Mowbray's son

[devaney]

Bob - My major criticism of Keane is that he didn't take advantage of a fantastic goal scoring opportunity and if your happy about that then it is end of debate!

Roberto - Please add number 11 to your list - Manchester United are now top of the league !!!!!
