One of the most over rated footballers ever, made to look good in a team of superstars.

Roy Keane the mumbling tw*t

Can't put two words together without mumbling.

You can't question his leadership though.

Have to say I don't like/rate Roy Keane the manager or person. Far too deliberately controversial, but he was a great footballer and he doesn't pull his punches!

I think he had a point on Bale, who looked a little 'lost' in the formation and is not one to 'track back' too much; which is what the Spanish Press/Fans like their players to do!

Personally, I hope Bale gets his form back before the Champions League Final, scores the winning goal (again) and stays at Real Madrid next season to prove the doubters wrong! But at the end of the day if he has a bad game (and he did, by his own high standards) he must expect some criticism after cost £85m+ ;)

He was a great footballer in a great team who sometimes engages his mouth before putting his brain in gear. I don't think United would have been so successful without him because he always put the team first. I remember the game against Juventus in the semi final where he was booked and knew he would miss the final, but he still drove United into the final. As a manager, he's poor and, no, I'm not a Man U supporter.

If you're talking about the 99 treble CL SF - he wasn't sent off, he picked up a yellow that disqualified him from the final, then played out of his skin to make sure his team got to the final - like a captain.

Roy Keane was never blessed with huge technical ability, but he held that Man Utd team together on the pitch, and was probably the best captain you could ask for. Utd would've been a much worse team without Keane.

But I agree with the punditry opinions - very poor imo

What is wrong with being a dog lover ????? If, in your mind, this has something to do with a human character flaw please explain. Keane was an exceptional leader it is a great shame we do not have anyone with his level of personal commitment to the team.As for management I believe he lacks empathy with other people which is a great shame. A great leader god help you if you did not give 100%

Does Ronaldo (or Messi) track back?
Don't watch much European football. What I saw of Ramos the other night, he wouldn't get in a league 2 team over here. So where is all his criticism?
Bale appears to be playing out of position in a system designed to suit Ronaldo. I heard in Spain that Real Madrid play better as a team without Ronaldo there, as everything has to go through him.

Hope he scores the winner in the Champions League Final as well. :thumbup:

It's a Ronaldo vs Bale situation and the way Real Madrid play is completely different to Barcelona, as are the Press that report on them! :thumbup:

Wow. What a ridiculous comment. The best player of his type in the premiership only challenged by viera and gerrard. Some people are clueless.
