He told RTE's Tommy Tiernan how he picked Theresa up for a drive but had no real plan for the date and Theresa was so unimpressed with his suggestions of the cinema or drinks, she cut it short and left after 15 minutes. Roy said: "She got out and I said, &a

The Corkman has twice criticised England and Wales captains Harry Kane and Gareth Bale for not wearing the OneLove armband, while he has declared that the tournament should not be in Qatar AT ALL.
As for topics more related to what is happening on the field, Keane poked fun at Declan Rice and Jack Grealish when discussing Jamal Musiala going from England to Germany.
It all speaks to a man who is not afraid of getting his point across when it comes to sport.
His propensity to speak about his private life is different, as aside from a brief stint on Instagram, he is very restrained when it comes to talking about the man behind the pundit.
However, before shutting down his social media, he did offer fans a glimpse into his family behind the scenes.

I won't name names, but most sporting biographies couldn't set an ashtray on fire, let alone a crowd. The best one I've read of late is Roy Keane's The Second Half, which is actually written by Roddy Doyle, of course; and this is why it's good.

Paul Rees, SUNDAY EXPRESS

Roy Keane's book is a masterpiece: The Second Half gives a startling account of his colourful career and reveals the hard-man midfielder's long-hidden good points
One Saturday evening a few years ago, a football manager confided his thoughts on Roy Keane to a small group of journalists.
He deplored his behaviour, his disciplinary record and his general air of brooding malevolence.
Somebody made the tentative suggestion that Keane might have one or two good points. The manager thought for a moment. ‘Maybe,’ he said. ‘But he keeps them bloody well hidden.’
At the time, it was an image which Keane did little to dispel. For him, it appeared, football was a violent game in a violent world. You played, you fought, you prevailed. And if you could inflict a little damage along the way, then so much the better.
