Roy Keane

I’m wondering if some of our younger fans who play done Roy’s career garnered how revered he is with how genuine legends of the game made beelines straight for him with no prompting whatsoever last night.

That embrace from Casemiro will look iconic if the Brazilian is a success here.
 
Certainly looked like he enjoyed that game.

Passion, desire and most importantly character on display.
 
Keano was treated like OT royalty last night (well he is almost!!), with personal visits from Stormzy, the Lionesses and Casemiro all at pitch side... way to go Roy. ;)
 
He’s not at all like how I expected him to be as a player, or even as I remember him in the early years post retirement. Gone way up in my estimation. Wish Giggs and Scholes hadn’t gone in the other direction!

He just seems very relaxed and happy doesn't he? during his playing days he was so hellbent on winning he always looked wound up and angry.

His true personality though is very different. The friendship between him and Micah Richards made me see a very different laid back side to him.

Keano was smiling like a kid all night.

you know Keano looked at his signing and said thank fuk United have finally got themselves a proper warrior in midfield....a guy that Keano would have love the idea of playing alongside
 
He's a bloody brilliant pundit. Lights shows up with his cutting remarks and sense of humour. Shame it never quite worked out as a manager.

Unfair to put Scholes next to Giggs... Scholes is just like a random fan and just gives emotional takes as a pundit. And the toe thing, but yeah.

Yeah he genuinely seems to be in a really good place in his life. I swear he hated being a pundit about a decade ago! I’m more jealous of that kind of nonchalant happiness / carefree satisfaction vibe he’s got than his career achievements actually! You get folks like Jordan who get to unbelievable places in their career because of that edge, and then post career there’s a lot of suffering. I don’t envy that at all. Keane went completely the other way!

Oh yeah not on the same planet. Scholes was just mildly disappointing, Giggs is a real tragedy, especially given how it went on all that time that I thought he was an inspiration!

Exactly this.
Anyone disrespecting Roy Keane should be ashamed of themselves.
 
His look when Merson walking trying to ask ETH a coherent question :lol::lol:
 
He’s a very happy Corkman this evening.

He's just a fan like us at heart.
Love the guy.

Legend.

And doesn't really go for the over analysis of games, understands that attitude, workrate and togetherness are still the key building blocks of football and everything else flows from there.
 
Even Keane is sounding really positive. We're definitely on the up!
 
A lot of ex players act like they love the club dearly but in reality I'm not sure they care so much.

I think Keane is the opposite funnily enough.
 
Love how unimpressed he is with Arsenal
