Roy: I wanted to do a Cantona
-
Roy Keane wishes footballÂ’s boo-boys could be given a taste of their own medicine.
The Sunderland boss reckons Sol Campbell was spot-on in speaking out about fan abuse this week.
Keano copped plenty of flak as a player and admits he would have loved to have followed Manchester United team-mate Eric CantonaÂ’s infamous lead and unleash a kung-fu kick into the crowd when it all got too much.
The legendary Irish hardman said: “I agree with Sol Campbell.
“But as soon as you say that, people say you’ve got to accept it because you’re in the public eye and you’re getting well paid.
"IÂ’ve been abused everywhere. Whether it be because youÂ’re Irish or they hear something or believe something, whatever it might be.
“I don’t take it personally. You try and forget about it but sometimes you react — you’re human.
“Ashley Cole reacted last week. Then people want you to be fined and hammered and banned. I think you should be allowed to give a little bit back, I do.
“I wanted to do an Eric Cantona loads of times. I wanted to do it everywhere.
“You can see it with managers. I saw Brian Clough go on to the pitch after a cup game against QPR and smack two supporters. It’s just the mood he was in.
“As he said, they ran on to his pitch. It’s like running on to his garden — get off.
“The people who got the smack probably thought he was right. They shouldn’t be running on the pitch and doing that sort of thing.
“The best way to react is by beating them, keeping the ball, scoring a goal, making a tackle, winning the game and getting out of there. That soon shuts them up.
“Sometimes the abuse is over the top, but what can you do about it? Are you going to eject 40,000 or 50,000 supporters for abusing a player or a manager? It’s very hard to deal with.” -

This is why I always felt Cantona was a bad influence and a bad role model.

Yes..... like Vinnie Jones and Dennis Wise. But none got the same amount of 'admiration' or people looking up to him as Cantona did. And he gives the impression that what he does is 'ok'. At least when it happens with other people, it didn't have that effect.Originally posted by 4getmenot:tats your opinion...there are tons of other footballers who have done far worst and got away with it.. the reason y ppl always pinpoint Cantona is becuz hes Cantona..

He was no doubt talented as a footballer, I'm not denying that. But still, he's a bad role model because of all these 'other things' he does. -
