“Plenty of bridges need a troll underneath” – A lot of Leeds United fans have not held back with their views on Richard Keogh – after Derby County sacked him.
The 33-year-old defender was involved in a car crash earlier this year with his two former teammates Tom Lawrence and Mason Bennett – both of whom were drunk while driving.
The crash ruined Keogh’s knee, and Derby have claimed that he won’t take a pay cut, so have sacked him for gross misconduct.
Keogh is not exactly popular with many Leeds fans after last season’s playoff semi-final, and “Spygate.”
This news has, therefore, gone down brilliantly with many Leeds fans.

Keogh’ll be fine. He’ll get some work. There’s plenty of bridges that need a troll underneath them.

Some Leeds fans are not holding back when it comes to their assessment of Keogh.
Sort of feel sorry for Keogh … there should be two others being sacked.

What about his drink driving team mates?

Other Whites supporters want to know why Lawrence and Bennet are still at Derby.
#dcfc must be the most morally corrupt club going. Wonder what keogh thinks of Bennett and Lawrence now. Some mates. Leave him unconscious in a car and now this. Sacked to help fund Rooneys wage ????

The moral club doing the moral thing once again. The football world is lucky to have such a wonderful moral compass as Derby county #dcfc #lufc

Finally, some Leeds fans are not surprised Derby have made a financial decision rather than a moral one.
