Roy Keane - Sky Sports Pundit / Walkers Leprechaun / Adidas Champion

You’d never hear the Italians talk about Maldini being destroyed by Igor Biscan, Vladimir Smicer and Djimi Traore.

His 2 greatest performances in my book were against Portugal in that same qualifier group. The other was a game against Newcastle around this time of year at OT, United won 2-0. Newcastle were about 8 points ahead of them and United eventually reeled them in around April. Keane’s performance in the unheralded 6 pointer was immense.

In fairness his reputation was built on a long career asa consistently excellent exponent of his position, showing early on at Forest that he had it in him to be a rare box to box attacking midfielder with an eye for goal and becoming one of the hottest transfer targets in world football asa result, attracting interest from Italy of all places,
And then becoming a dominant steadying force in one of the best club sides in the world for many years,
We can play the game about the dog groomer in the Scottish cup all day but if it’s serious debate then we’ll need to deal with what his teammates, opponents and managers said about him, it’s not a personality contest

one lucky champions league isnt the trophy hall of one of the best club sides in the world fr many years

[Biff_Egan]

Agree that his performance against Portugal at home was better than the more lauded game v the Dutch.

[Little_Lord_Fauntleroy]

the 1-1 game where they had all the ball and were happy with a draw?

[Biff_Egan]

Keane and Figo were two titans of the game going toe to toe in a clash of the ages.

[Little_Lord_Fauntleroy]

it ws rui costa that destroyed him that day mate.

[myboyblue]

Ah the Keane argument. Lovely. We’ll have some lad putting up a thread any minute now.

Stay the course lads. We’re nearly there.

@mikehunt

Not the most skilful but he scared the shit out of his own players never mind the opposition. He’d have got on to any club team at that time so he was one of the best players in the world at his peak.

He didn’t scare the shit out of a lad in Hale one night.

PS Roy Keane was world class for most of his career.
The End.

[Locke]

Roy Keane was class, end of.

[Arthur]

Ah united were easily the best team in England and the English league was definitely one of the best 4 or 5 leagues in the world

[Biff_Egan]

“Miguel” has recently disputed the myth that Man United fluked a victory over Bayern in 1999

[Aertel220]

The Italians probably rate Juventus highly even though they haven’t won the Champions League in 25 seasons😅

[Biff_Egan]

One of Juve’s best teams of that timeframe were bundled out of the competition by masterclasses from Scott Carson and Igor Biscan

The Keane fanboys are very needy.

You mention the time a pet store assistant gave him the runaround and they are hopping like sausages trying to rewrite history.

So your saying if a fella gets roasted at the end of his career that’s how you judge him?

Let’s apply that logic to the Great Tyrone team getting embarrassed by Kerry ten years ago. We can agree by your logic those players like Ryan McMenamin who was destroyed that day after coming on is a nothing player.

Kerry and Tyrone were doing their hobby
