Richard Keogh

A word used far to often, especially in this case. If a player is fast becoming a legend after a few games, you're easily pleased.

Yes he's doing well but becoming a legend? Really?????

He'll be remembered extremely fondly if he carries on this mould. He'll be cheered to the rafters when he draws the golden gamble in 2026 or whenever.

Whether that's 'legend' or not is semantics. People use the world legend informally and formally.

Stanley Matthew is a legend. My mate is a legend. That bloke who found my wallet is a legend.

All different meanings. All the same word.

Personally, I don't think Keogh's eyebrows will ever, ever be beaten.
 
I was pleased when we signed him, I think we needed a really horrible gnarly experienced defender, a bit like madine up top, he knows the situation and both must be horrible to play against 👍👍

A lot has been rightly said about how Critch has brought on the young talent but at the other end of the scale we have Keogh and Madine whose careers have probably been saved by coming to Blackpool. They seem to have been given the time and encouragement to grow into the team and now we are reaping the rewards.

Yep, Keogh & Madine clearly feel renewed here.
They've fully bought into the philosophy at the club, making them valuable role models to the younger players, real positive influences.

With 30+ years as pros between them, any player with any sense will listen to what they say.
And I'll bet that includes telling the rest of the squad that while you have to make the best of any situation as a pro, opportunities like this - to learn from a top coach, to be working in a wholly positive environment, to work hard every day and support your teammates, to ride this wave - only come along rarely. So enjoy it, and grasp the opportunity.

And I'm another who'll gladly hold their hands up, in mid-August I had Keogh down as a duffer. Wrong, wrong, wrong.
 
I am also one of those who thought he was dreadful when we first signed him. I was wrong. This is why NC does what he does, and I do what I do. 🤪
 
RK's a veteran footballer with a wise old head and the heart of a lion. He clearly loves playing for us - you can see that in every tackle, block & goal celebration, and in his appreciation of the tangerine army at the end of every game. I hope he stays injury free, with us, until the end of his career and then becomes a first team coach 😍
 
I owe him an apology too - though he was too slow and not up to the task after watching the Coventry game. Since then, he's got back to full fitness and can't fault his presence in defense, confident, assured and leads the way. Great passion and rapport with the supporters and club.
 
He's up against Steven Fletcher on Wednesday...that should be an interesting little sideshow.
Whoever comes out on top in that one could have a big influence on the result.

Your mate turns up with an unexpected bag of prawn cocktail crisps and he's a legend.

I agree legend is far too overused.
 
Wiz you are a legend!

My Amazon driver is a legend for posting my book to me a few minutes ago.

My kettle is a legend for boiling my water for my nice hot cup of coffee.

My bed is a legend for taking my weight every night so I can sleep (not so much last night, bloody weather)

Every Napoli player is a legend for helping me win £130 last night on an acca.

Sod giving Sir Stanley, Morty, Sir Jimmy, King Billy, Charlie, Suddick, Green, the whole of the '53 squad legendary status. Let's give everyone and everything a legend status!

You're all legends to me.

Language is but a conduit for meaning that sits deeper than it.

Those who seek to control it are seeking to empower themselves over others.

*I made this up but it sounds good 🤣

Also, prawn cocktail crisps. That's a tremendous random packet of crisps to recieve.

Legend I think is fair.

King Arthur/bloke giving me some crisps. What's King Arthur ever done for me? Nothing. Certainly not brought me some prawn cocktail crisps.

As an aside, I hate prawn cocktail the actual thing but the crisps are lush.

I think it's the biggest disparity between a my appreciation of the flavouring and the flavour of the actual thing.

To get it back on topic, I'd love it if the could ask Richard Keogh on the sofa on TTV what his favourite crisps are.

I wish he was on that every week.

Prawn cocktail skips, not a legend.

Seabrooks prawn cocktail crisps - legend
 
Wasn't sure if he would physically or mentally be the same player after the Derby debacle but he's pulling out top class performances week in week out. He loves a nice lobbed pass too. Proved me wrong I'm delighted to say.
