Former Manchester United legend Roy Keane has claimed that he would be interested in managing the Republic of Ireland national team. The dynamic midfielder previously earned 67 caps for his country in the 1990s and early 2000s. He also has coaching experience with the Ireland team as well. Keane was previously hired by Ireland manager […]

In June, Wales hoped that Roy Keane would end his coaching exile to take over for Robert Page. With his 2018 dismissal from his role as Ireland's assistant coach under Martin O'Neill, Keane has been absent from the global stage. A year after reuniting with O'Neill at Nottingham Forest, Keane's coaching career came to a […]

London Metropolitan Police arrested the potential assailant who headbutted Roy Keane after the Manchester United game against Arsenal. Video showed Sky Sports colleague Micah Richards restraining a man and while the two analysts were making their way down to the pitch at the Emirates. The alleged headbutting incident happened just before the end of the […]

Former Manchester United legend and current ITV analyst Roy Keane has made his opinion quite clear on the World Cup in Qatar. The 51-year-old former Republic of Ireland international lambasted FIFA for allowing the Middle Eastern country to host the tournament. "The World Cup shouldn't be here. It shouldn't be here," Keane said live on […]

Whenever Roy Keane speaks, the world seems to stop and take notice. For a figure who is disregarded by many as a rash instigator, his opinion matters. Yet, unlike experienced reporters or long-time supporters who witnessed and maybe even grew up with Keane, I never got to see him shine at the Theatre of Dreams. […]

Currently, in the United Kingdom the serialization of a top sporting figure’s autobiography is gripping the media and the sporting world. It has drawn responses from all quarters and no one involved comes out of this sorry saga looking terribly good. Of course I’m referring to the autobiography of former England Cricketer Kevin Pietersen but […]

People, especially soccer fans and soccer journalists, do have a short memory. We are reminded of this only too often. One of the latest discussion points in the world of (English) soccer has been Louis van Gaal’s appointment of Wayne Rooney as captain of Manchester United. Fans and, perhaps especially, journalists and “experts” have been […]

During the recent ITV special Keane & Vieira: The Best of Enemies, former Manchester United captain Roy Keane gave his insight into his pre-match mental preparations: “On [game day], particularly the parts of my body which had been previously injured, be it my cruciate, my hip or previous knocks; they would be aching me. And […]

In some Manchester United circles, it might be blasphemous to say one of their players shares the same characteristics as a Liverpool player. Especially when the Liverpool player is the “evil” Luis Suárez. On the other hand, Liverpool supporters might consider it sacrilege to have one of their players compared to the “vile” Roy Keane. […]

  The last month and halfway point of the season has seen the start of the managerial silly season where managers feel about as safe as one of the main characters in a Final Destination film.   There have been a large number of sackings in the Championship in the last two months as chairman […]

So the clock ticks ever closer to the season of goodwill and as a self confessed lover of Christmas, a word of warning for fellow football fans hoping to receive that special something in their Christmas stocking or under the tree. As the years have gone by, I have sometimes received presents based purely on […]

14 games without a Premiership win would be worrying for several sides, but when you've spent the best part of £50 million to improve the team, 4 months without a win is disastrous. When Bruce took the reigns at the Stadium of Light in the summer, the club had survived a dreadful season which had […]

Anybody could tell you that Ipswich Town's 1-0 victory over fellow strugglers Derby on Saturday was a vital result. Defeat or another draw from the team and the alarm bells may of been ringing frantically at Portman Road, but 15 games into the 09/10 season and the Suffolk outfit have finally put a win on […]

The only thing that surprised me about Ricky Sbragia's resignation was the timing of it, coming just 20 or 30 minutes after the final whistle. It was odd to watch Niall Quinn speaking about his manager not wanting to take up the option of another year as manager, whilst Sbragia stood there impassively. Now it […]

So, how's your nerves? Sky Sports News have today been running an article about stress relief for fans for Sunday. Tips included having a hot bath, avoiding alcohol and meditating to stay relaxed in the build up to the final round of matches in the Premiership. Which will be no help to any of the […]
