Keane reminded me of the lad in the local gaa club who was fit as fuck, could do 100 laps and 1000 sit ups but not much good, he’d go all day

Had the pleasure of meeting Roy Keane at a charity do once. He was surprisingly down to earth, and VERY funny.

Fifty-two American diplomats and citizens were held hostage for 444 days from November 4, 1979, to January 20, 1981, with no access to newspapers, TV, etc.
Their first query when released was …“has Gary Birtles scored for Utd yet?”

In terms of punditry, Sky Sports has decided to become the old RTE, while RTE has decided to become the old Sky Sports

Keane is a prick and I disagree with just about everything he says but, I’d still rather listen to him than just about any other pundit on Sky or BBC. It’s gotten to the stage now where I record MOTD just so I can fast forward the boring ramblings of Shearer and Jenas when watching it later

Bit early for panto season but Sky have the perfect villain here. He learnt from a half decent one in Dunphy too so he might say a few things that will get plenty of clicks and sure that’s what it’s all about these days.
