I reckon Roy Keane thinks every player at this World Cup bar Cristiano Ronaldo is lazy, shite and hates dogs.

I think he is brilliant. Some people take everything too serious. I can always laugh listening to Roy

Nonchalantly scoring the winner...
here's a better quality

To be fair to Roy, Bilic was being really annoying in his punditry tonight.

There was an edgy, uncomfortable atmosphere around Bilic (as I've seen before in his punditry), and I'd also add that it fecking annoys me when people keep touching you when trying to make a point - it's shitty, B-rate alpha type body language and it annoys me.

I also like how Keane got it his put down of Croatia right at the end - "I think Argentina will beat them".

Bilic was being a dick, and it felt weird and edgy to watch. Fair play to Roy tonight.

He was terrible tonight, I'm amazed ITV are paying him to sit with such an attitude. Bilic tried his hardest to engage conversation and Roy just rejected him over and over.

Eventually Bilic actually said he played for 'good clubs' to which Roy just ignored him like he was a fool. He then followed it up by saying Croatia will get beat by Argentina. I think he said that to annoy Slavan.

My mate summed up Keane, he's just so disillusioned with the current state of game that he can't take any joy whatsoever from it.

However, that said, he does make me chuckle with his negativity and Bilic was quite annoying tonight. He was completely partisan and wasn't afraid to show it, but he went overboard with it.

Saw someone on twitter say he reminds them of Michael Corleone right before he shoots those two guys in the restaurant, which is about right.

If that's the case, he shouldn't be on TV. Must be a barrel of laughs with the ROI squad.

He wrote Liverpool's CL season off before they even got to the knock out stages. I know they didn't win it but he made himself look an idiot then as well.

I like him. Used to see him regularly when I was a steward at Derby. Didn't give any attitude when I said hello.

Looks so weirdly intentional like he's doing it for a bet.

One of the best midfielders of all time, one of our most successful captains ever, his mentality is Manchester United...

How does having a face like a slapped arse on TV have any bearing on his contribution to United?

Wait what's the context to this Keane Bilic thing? LOL.

I saw the game but wasn't tuning in to the analysis.

Did he? This is what he said:

"Win the Premier League or Champions League? Liverpool? Forget about it.

"I think they have enough to get through the group, but in the later stages against Real Madrid and all these boys, they will be laughing at Liverpool."
He was pretty much bang on though, they didn't win anything, they got through the group stage, in the latter stages they played Real and were beaten.

No idea if Real laughed at them, but almost everyone else was laughing at them considering how they lost with two comical goalkeeping blunders.

Exactly.

Bilic was trying to act "hard" and give it the "big man" act infront of Roy Keane. I suspect words were exchanged off camera and that's all I have to say about that.

It was a bit uncomfortable that match the other day where they had that black female England player on the panel and i swear Bilic never looked at her once when talking, always looking at Giggs or the presenter. I felt a bit for her.

Bilic has been terrible... even during the opening game he made it a point to be confrontational with the other pundits and overly defensive.

Should be life banned from the caf for such a ridiculous statement. However I'm prepared to give you the benefit of the doubt and presume that you were either having a bad day or perhaps you really are so fecking stupid

Get off yer fecking soapbox you numpty! All I'm saying is considering he was so immense for United you'd expect him to be a bit more dignified and not such a prat, which he is.

Feck sake! Some people on here are so sensitive and tough behind their computer screens!

Some of you are way too sensitive. It is possible for grown men to get in a room and disagree and still be professional about things and i don't see anything unprofessional about Roy's conduct.

If anything I think he might have been annoyed by Billic constantly touching him whilst making a point, but he remained professional throughout.

He still is a United legend and always will be. As for how he gets work; he is paid to give an opinion and he doesn't sugar coat it whilst giving it, which is all you can really ask from a pundit.

I saw the game but wasn't tuning in to the analysis.
Bilic was going over the top, got a bit too handsy and Keano was having none of it. He sat there looking like he might be deciding if he should murder Bilic on live TV or wait until later. Bilic was also very pro-Croatia, but not any worse than people like Ian Wright will be with England. Then Keano got a few put downs in and seemed slightly more pleased with the situation.

I enjoy Roy, you know what you're going to get with him and he's far more entertaining than Souness almost crying because Pogba's hair has enraged him or Jamie Redknapp not understanding the meaning of half the words he's saying while hammering the same half point over and over again like his brain has got stuck in some sort of spasm.
