Ah right. To be honest I donā€™t know what any of them look like except for Molloy.

Keane was very funny.

Telling a story about Portugal training camp and he says my daughter is here tonight, she was there, sheā€™ll back me up. She was one at the time, but sheā€™ll back me up :joy:

Keane has a dry sense of humor. Itā€™s brilliant.

Very deadpan. Heā€™s always good for a few one liners and the wry smile at the end.

Keane is very engaging. He has a very droll sense of humour and excellent comic timing. However there is a real nasty side to him thatā€™s never far from the surface. He is a complex character but there is no disguising the fact that he is a bit of a cunt.

Heā€™d fit in well here so.

Keane is a legend, great to listen to. His version of events that wrankle with him are extremely one eyed however. On more than one occasion Neville hinted what was said to Quiroz and Ferguson wasnā€™t acceptable yet Keane wouldnā€™t entertain it. He was always the wronged party.

I suspect that Roy is somewhere on the autism spectrum, I have similar suspicions about a few posters here

Yes keane canā€™t grasp how Ferguson was a good manager by getting rid of the likes of Bruce or even himself when the times comes.

Whatever he is, at least he isnā€™t or never has attempted to be a mother Theresa, goody two shoes type fella.

He is what he is and it isnā€™t filtered away.

Iā€™d say heā€™s a man whoā€™s very comfortable in his own skin

Ken Early absolutely skewered Keaneā€™s paranoia yesterday.

Keane is the equivalent of a football shock jock these days.

His modus operandi is to fire in vitriolic and nonsensical hand grenades every few months in order to get a reaction. He needs that time gap because if he was a regular analyst heā€™d just be considered a parody in the way Johnny Giles has become. Heā€™s like a part time contract clickbait hit generator.

But Giles actually knew what he was talking about and still does a lot of the time. Keane is just filled with barely concealed rage in which he is always the victim of a set up, even though he never was even once in his career. Heā€™s ended up becoming everything he always claimed to hate - a sad, bitter little man, bitter at his own failings in management and drunk on his own sense of entitlement after decades of being spoilt and pandered to.

Jesus Iā€™d say the exact opposite. Heā€™s still obsessed with small perceived slights against him from 15 years ago

Heā€™s still being asked about them

Heā€™s never changed his stance or doubted himself.

The Man U EPL fanboy crowd are savage clannish and parochial

Does he leave that to the wife

Ironic how he likes to use a term of derision which uses his wifeā€™s name

Iā€™d say psychologists would have a field day with that one

Early still bitter about Newstalk getting any good interviews.

Iā€™ve watched about an hour of that from the other night. Molloy is the worst person on the panel by a country mile.

No doubt Keane is a bit of an asshole but his comments the other night, while a bit prickly, were mostly just entertaining and far from the scandal they are being made out to be.

He doesnā€™t seem in the least bitter about the Off The Ball lads - he regularly namechecks them on his podcast

Itā€™s quite possible to have different views of station management and the people that actually do the broadcasting

Ferguson was absolutely right to get rid of him and was proved such

Manchester United had been on a downward slide for the last five years of Keaneā€™s career there

Almost as soon as he left they started to improve again

Tis almost like this Ferguson fella knew what he was at
