Even if Keane wasn't directly commenting on his fellow managers' abilities & instead the media hyperbole, he should be smart enough by now to know to keep his mouth shut, doubly so when talking about other personalities in the sport. The tabloids LIVE for even the slightest suggestion of a spat between professionals (look at the handbags with Benetiz all season), so Keane should know when platitudes are the answer. Though I also think Keane likes the sound of his own voice sometimes.
Was reported in The Sun last December, wasn't reported anywhere else as far as I'm aware and there's been nothing about it since that I've seen....Quote:

High horse moralising again?Quote:

FORMER Ireland legend Tony Cascarino vowed last night to divorce his wife after she had him arrested for an alleged assault.
The former Celtic striker was nicked by cops at the family home last December after Virginie claimed Cascarino had threatened to kill her.
But detectives cleared Cas and told him last week he will not face any charges.
Tony, 42, who won 88 caps in his top-flight career, said: "It's going to end up in another divorce with kids involved again.
"It is unfortunate, it is messy and it was not needed.
I still can't understand it - how it got out of hand.
"The law is ridiculous that I can end up in jail on an accusation like that, it's just her word against mine.
"It shows you how stupid modern laws are that I can be handcuffed and taken out of my house to a police cell on an allegation that was totally false."
Cascarino thanked his friends and neighbours who stood by him during the ordeal of being under police investigation.
"It was a sad situation that developed but I didn't do anything wrong.
"My neighbours knew that and they were very supportive."
Just like most threads that are about Roy Keane this one has become boring to read...its almost as bad as the threads about the North
Ya I'm headin over to the Stephen Ireland forum see what's new there:DQuote:

We should have a separate 'Cork Traitor' just for the two of them. :)Quote:

Because people believe that he means what he says doesn't mean that they are buying into anything, it's not like all these people are totally naive and you are ahead of the game- ah keano I see what you're up to, nobody else can but I have you pegged!! A bit patronising tbh.Quote:

Id go along with that, as a Keane fan I wanted Sunderland to do well when he was in charge and didnt really care about them after he left unless Andy Reid scored or something and Im sure I will will watch Ipswich more closely now that Keane has taken charge there even though I always would have kept an eye on them anyway because of Garvan and other irish lads thereQuote:

This about sums it up......he's become like a bitchy schoolgirl......using every opportunity to have a sly dig at his former classmates.Quote:

as for Lawton - he is just a good writer but not a good football analyist IMHO, like Humphreys and David Walsh - maybe they should write about politics or something else...........and leave football to us the fans
