He played well but saying it was a great goal is a bit OTT, it was a good header but when you consider he was being marked by a 5¨6" man playing out of position and who didn´t even jump to contest the ball then I´d hardly call it greatQuote:

To be fair to Keane, and I'm usually not, he also has an informed opinion of John Delaney.Quote:

After that he improved and did really well for the Tevez/Carrick chance. After this, his confidence returned and he did all his fancy trick but he also gave the ball away a few times and his crossing, at times, left a lot to be desired.
And he totally wasted his penalty, tried to be smart and messed up. He's lucky Terry is a worse peno taker, otherwise he'd be hitting the headlines as the villain.
Usually Id agree, but since Gav is about as anti Keane as possible it's not as effectiveQuote:

Well, well the first step to greatness, Ronaldo is named European player of the year.
The European Footballer of the Year is named in December and awarded by France Football magazine.Quote:
