SaffyRam Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Is it only me who feels really sad about this? I know he shouldn’t have got drunk, got in the car etc, but what an awful way for his time at Derby to end ?

Rammy03 Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Is this actually true? I hate what he and the others did but I hope it's not. It's a shame it has to end like this. Would have undoubtedly gone down as a club legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramarena Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Whatever the right's or wrongs, this is the club in the headlines again for all the wrong reasons! This season really has been one to forget so far! taffyram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosythram Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Fact is that he cannot fulfil his contractual duty of playing football for DCFC due to being an absolute dick. He therefore has effectively terminated his own contract. Owd miner, taffyram, ANGERMAN1 and 2 others 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 (edited) I don't see Keogh has much of a choice in this one. It's not like he can pick up another club whilst his leg is knackered. I also don't believe you can compare his punishment to the other two culprits, Keogh is a more senior player and the captain of the team. Out of everyone involved he should have been the one telling the lads to either call it a night before it got out of hand or get in a taxi. Bennett is a young lad and young lads are liable to make mistakes, Lawrence has had some tough times recently and this might just be an aftershock of that. Whilst they don't excuse their behaviour they are likely to have been factors in the clubs thinking regarding any punishments. Keogh is a bloke in his mid 30's in a position of authority within the club. He should be dealing with the whole situation a lot better. EDIT: As I typed this I see that he has been sacked. I don't agree we should have been so hasty to sack him, but I do believe he should have taken a pay cut.

Also Percys article earlier stated he didnt wear s belt which must have come out during the investigation, therefore another bit of stupidity against Keogh that the club cannot be blamed for & could potentially use in any court appeal RoyMac5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thoughts if true, tragic way for one of our longest serving players to end his time with our club. There is very little good coming of this saga, regardless of what anybody thinks of Keogh’s playing skills.

lukedcfc Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Can’t believe he hasn’t accepted the pay cut, who does he think he is. You can’t get in a car with a drink driver, injure yourself and expect your place of work to fund your time off. Your own actions caused this Richard, no one else is to blame.

Andicis Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 I'm glad. 25k a week for someone who can't play until next year is ludicrous, if Keogh was offered a paycut and turned it down he is a bit ridiculous.
