Tiro Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 https://www.footballscotland.co.uk/spfl/scottish-premiership/michael-stewart-roasted-roy-keane-28939182 How arrogant is this guy?. He undoubtedly had ability but humility was never one of his strong points, hence the grudge he bears against Sir Alex Ferguson for binning him. He seems to forget that when he turned out for Celtic he played like a player from a pub team and as Alfie Haaland would testify he made ridiculous tackles like a player from a pub team.

Hansel Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Not a fan of Keane as a person. He's become a parody of himself as a pundit and seems overly critical of everyone all the time. Just feels very contrived. He was having a pop at Haaland recently and it was clearly playing into the narrative regarding the bad blood between Keane and his dad. It's no wonder he didn't make it as a manager. Can't imagine his man management skills being great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTT Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Both Hearts & Hibs in terms of fan base are on a par with most Championship clubs. Christ, if we could expand our stadium we'd be filling it at 30k IMO.

He was indeed. A quick check and I see Dion Dublin was also put out to pasture in that Celtic team, topping up his retirement fund before he got all the tv gigs. Forgot he played for them.

Benny Klack Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 To be fair at his peak he was a very good player - United would not have made the final in Barcelona if it wasn’t for his performance in the semi v Juventus.

Howdy Doody Jambo Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Quote Roy was trying to motivate Michael Stewart who could answer back and some, I don't see much of a problem as Hearts & Hibs being compared to a top table giant at the time as Man Utd was only putting into perspective of the chance MS future had and where it could end up just fact Did MS under achieve at Man Utd ? The gulf between the EPL and SP is massive that's fact Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chong Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Keane offers absolutely zero input into anything informative about the game he is analysing. He's slowly become a parody of himself and while I've found some of his quips quite humorous at times I'd rather watch adverts than listen to him.

Sydney Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 I think he was an outstanding player who made Man Utd the team they were. He was surrounded by more talented players, but he did the work that made it easy for them to perform, he was an absolute leader and nearly all of them looked up to him (and still do to this day). Nowadays, I agree with @Polonia Gorgie that he is the Simon Cowell of football, but I do like him on Stick to Football. His relationship with Ian Wright is good to watch.

He was only responding to Rio Ferdinand's question. As for not being able to cope up here, he was 35 and his legs had gone. A peak Roy Keane could have played in the SPL with his eyes closed.
