As James Lawton said, he's motivated by self-interest only.

Fuelled by Fools.

You are 100% correct that self-interest is his only motivation, proven by his absence of loyalty to Ireland, and astonishingly, to Man Utd.

What do you think of the Irish at Ipswich?

What would qualify as success?

How do you rate Mick's achievement of winning Championship a second time?

Does Marcus Evans actually exist?

"But when we came up we had 13 or 14 players starting into the Premiership. You’ll sign anybody who will play. I would be giving contracts to players I didn’t rate that highly. I needed the bodies!" - Quote from Keane

I'd like to see Pat paraphrase this and then ask where it sits with Roys famous "Fail to Prepare, Prepare to Fail" mantra. Given that he had 6 or so months from when promotion was looking likely to the end of the summer transfer window.

Towards the end of the interview he should say:

"Roy, will you join with me in introducing my next guest - Tony Cascarino!!!!!!"

**seanfhear** · 30/04/2009, 12:45 PM

He should ask him would he be better to concentrate on becoming a good manager and keeping out of the media spotlight for a few years ?

He should ask him was he the guy that chose the legion of players that were brought to Sunderland with most of them not been up to the job ?

He should ask him if being a manager when some of your players are making your life a misery would be something he could get a bit of advice from Mick McCarthy about ?

**SunderlandBohs** · 30/04/2009, 1:07 PM

Pat Kenny should also ask, If he thinks he is entitled to a bonus payment if Sunderland stay up, does that mean he has to take some of the blame if their relagated?

Roy, what do you think of the Stephen Ireland situation?...............given his own history, his take on this would be fascinating.Like him or loathe him, the audience for this show will be huge, as Quinn says, "Roy Keane is box office"

The RTE news at one had an interview with Roy at Croker for the annual Guide Dog gig.Stephen Ireland, Andy Reid and Lee Carsley all get a mention.See clip at www.rte.ie and click on news at one, nice little taster for friday night.

there is a 7 minute interview with him in the sports section of the RTE website

**Stuttgart88** · 30/04/2009, 8:35 PM

Good taster alright. He looked like he'd taken his meds and was in full calm and charming mode.

Good to see him support Trap as well.

**geysir** · 30/04/2009, 9:42 PM

I had a surreal idea, that Dunphy had a tv chat show going, where he was on some stage interviewing Roy. Or am I getting mixed up with a scene from the The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie.

**EastTerracer** · 30/04/2009, 10:30 PM

Roy's annual chat about the Guide Dogs once again brings up some interesting comments. Andy Reid fans beware!

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/foo....html?ITO=1490

"One Irish player in particular hasn’t kicked a ball in three years and seems to play every time he’s come over. I can’t work that one out." - I'm still trying to work out who he's talking about (Zinedine?)!

**NeilMcD** · 30/04/2009, 10:37 PM

Is it Liam Miller or Caleb Folan, Stephen Reid or Damien Duff. I think whoever it is Keane is factually wrong. Actually the more I read it the more I am convinced its Duff.

**geysir** · 30/04/2009, 11:40 PM

What I (Roy)would say to the lad, if I ever bumped into him in Manchester, I’d say “listen, your career is over before you know it, if you get an opportunity to play for Ireland under a good manager then go for it.”

As if to say his World Cup was taken away by a bad manager. Always the whiff of the extremely unpleasant begrudger about him.

**geysir** · 30/04/2009, 11:46 PM

Just because Roy hasn't a clue what he is talking about, doesn't stop him from shoveling sarcasm by the bucket load.

Probably Roy is talking about McShane.

**Colbert Report** · 01/05/2009, 4:06 AM

McShane is only in the squad as cover for the eternally injured Steve Finnan.

In fairness that is probably as good an endorsment of playing for Ireland that you would expect from Roy Keane.

Thats actually praising Roy in case there is any misunderstanding.
Stephen Ireland would do well to listen to this advice from a man that had his own "minor" problems in relation to playing for Ireland.

Definitely sounds like Duff to me. I don't think he meant it literally when he said he hasn't kicked a ball in 3 yrs. All the talk about past reputations does sound like Duff though. He also said Trapp should "literally" sleep outside SI's house!! Shades of Jamie Redknapp's classic - "They literally threw the kitchen sink at them"!!!

after hearing him yesterday i genuinely think he regrets the whole 2002 wc episode. i really do. some players are their own worst enemies at times and its not until they stop playing that they realise their mistakes

I actually think he does mean literally sleep outside the house as he quote the Clough story of sleeping in Archie Gemmills house.
