Roy Keane

How many times do a club like Sunderland get the kind of success that they can even consider an open top bus for............

If that was the only use for the bus then it would be seized up............Roy should have let hem on the bus.......

Phil Neville discussed Roy Keane, amongst other things, on Off The Ball last night. - http://www.independent.ie/sport/socc...-35720234.html

I learned so much from him and I had a great relationship with him when I was at Manchester United. He was a large part of that young group coming through. He helped us so much, he sat with us, talked to us, joked with us.

You talk about Alex Ferguson not giving me a telling off; you got a telling off of Roy if you dropped your standards.

As a player, I don't think people realise how good a player he was. People say he was tough, he was aggressive. He was a brilliant passer of the ball, he was as brave as a lion in terms of getting on the ball. He used to always say if I was at left back or right back, 'If you're having trouble and I've got men round me, just give me the ball I'll get you out of trouble'.

And you can trust him with your life. He was brilliant in the last couple of years when I stepped into midfield and played alongside him. You just felt safe with him being in your team. I don't think I've seen anyone close to that kind of level of leadership that Roy gave that United team over a four or five year period.

Why would Roy want the Israel job? That wouldn't last 30 days.
But I can see the worldwide headlines now....Roy Keane to managed Israel.

Roy Kean surely?

Roy Cohen

Came across this on my travels, a lot of footage from Keane's Nottingham Forest career we don't see very often. Ignore the still shot, there's very little from that Keane/Vieira documentary.

PLO for not having his back.
Look at their war medals. Wouldn’t take long

Hard to credit a packed hall of 2,000 fawning over every idiotic hypocritical utterance from Keane. That no decent 2nd level team would hire him these days, leaves him with plenty of time to dive into his ever expanding bag of grudges that he carrries around, peddling his bitterness to any microphone that will have him, this time against a player that stood up to him fair and square and he can't live that down. I said at the time that Walters should have decked the coward.

Did Keane run away from him like he ran away from Saipan ?

You'd have to think so, although this didn't stop him having a cut off the standard of the Championship, along with everything else.

I can only guess that Roy Keane is attempting to reinvent himself as an alternative comic with a very dark and surreal take on the world around him. Think a Cork Frankie Boyle.

Well , he should float !

Roy Keane has just claimed live on english tv that he became a footballer because he fell in love with the game while watching his hero Diego Maradona, made news in Argentina a few minutes ago, I think there is a video for that.
Avoided the 1986 wc debate, though

Do ESPN Argentina have a nickname for Keane yet?

El diablo irlandes

Si es verdad.

El loco corkese, como se dice en ESPN Columbia.
