Funny he thinks fans haven’t got a clue what’s going on, but then he has this take 
Roy Keane
- Thread starter MyOnlySolskjaer
- Start date
He's a big Ronaldo fanboy. Which is pretty pathetic for a supposed hard man who was a senior player in a team where CR was a skinny kid but there you go. I've never seen Keane do anything but fawn over the guy.
More importantly, Keane is a prime example of the fact that the ex-United players in the media are a cancer on the club.
Remember every so often someone would say "get Keano in the dressing room to sort out this useless squad"
Imagine this guy in there with Ronaldo acting the way he is.

maybe he just believes Ronaldo is better than Rashford as main striker
In regards to neville i meant it more in relation to his defence of keeping faith with ole
I think that's probably it but he doesn't articulate that very well.
He comes across as a bit of a an idiot there in fairness.
Very much so.
Compare the reaction of Neville. He spouts even greater amounts of bollocks as a pundit, but at least when he realised he was past it as a player he retired gracefully rather than blaming others for his own decline.
All true
Neville for once spot on and Keane wmbarrassing
A decent pundit in what sense? He’s rolled out to play a character & does it well, this Ronaldo stance is just another string to his contrary bow.
I’d say Daft would be calling him ‘decent’ when you agree then saying he has a ‘blind spot’ when you don’t but to each their own
Keane snitching on other Utd players is my new favourite thing.
His job is to be entertaining, which he is, and insightful which he also often is. It’s not like he’s contrarian for the sake of it, he usually has an actual point and this subject (which has massive parallels to his own career, and a subject that he openly is still very bitter over in leaving us) was the exception.
Lot of beta ***** in here can't handle the Irish alpha.
The thing about Scholes, Rio, Cantona etc they all served their time and come back in, the manager has basically said the same thing about Ronaldo he hasn't once said he won't be back in so I wonder why Roy is so charged up.
Ten Hag reiterated many times he would be back in the group after its all settled down

Keane talking shite.
Makes you laugh, Keane was a player that wanted stuff done right and professionally and didn't accept team mates to drop levels.
Wonder how he would feel today if one of his team mates didn't show up for pre season and wasn't part of the preparations for new season then turns up thinking I should playing, acting like a kid and throwing tantrums as not getting his own way.

I honestly think some ex-players like Keane just have this fixation of a player being exactly how he was when they played with him. It's as if he can't see beyond the memories of the games where Ronaldo won games single handedly for us. His views are being blinded and refusing to accept a player can decline no matter how good he is.
Despite the amount of frustration Rashford gives us with his wastefulness, the truth is we are a better team without Ronaldo. We are better with Rashford in the team, not so much because he's a bigger threat. It's the fact it works better for the whole team and suits the high press, counter pressing football we're trying to play. Keane just can't let it go as he's stuck his flag down on his defence of Ronaldo.

All of them were also valuable players for United when those incidents occurred
Keane would be on he’s knees in front of Ronaldo
He came across as more of a **** than an alpha. He came across as a Sony Pony or an Xbot defending their plastic. It was sad.
And who are we talking about here?
And jeez some of you talking nonsense about the legend that is Keano!
Jeeeezz.... cringeworthy from Keano there, fair play for Gary to sticking to his guns.
I felt bad for Hasselbaink they were both quite disrespectful to him cutting him off constantly, felt like he was on the cusp of making some worthwhile points as well but they didn't give him the space.
Talking about Keane seeing the way his United career ended in similar way to Ronaldo now, I wonder will he view Ten Hag in a little bit the same way as Sir Alex and be quicker to stick the knife in whenever we have some poor performances
Yeah if they let him talk he would have made Keane look even worse.
He already did in this Embarassing rant here, talking about Man City beating us etc despite the fact he is a new manager and we are already seeing aspects of teamwork and togetherness and results in recent weeks.
Will always love Roy Keane, but he's so far wrong here it's unreal.
Annoying to see someone who consistently goes on about being a good teammate, doing your job, a good dressing room full of good senior pros, bend over backwards to defend someone who's been anything but any of things recently.
Cannot wait until Ronaldo leaves. Fair play to Neville btw. Called it spot on.

Undoubtedly. We’ve already seen evidence of that today and downplaying the victories over Liverpool and Spurs.
I’ll always have a soft spot for Roy for the player he was, and think he’s largely a decent pundit, but we’re just going to have ignore this issue that he’s clearly got a emotional blind spot on.
Talking through his hoop.
Keane is embarrassing himself big time. He probably can't get over what Fergie did to him. You don't need to be an expert to see that Ronaldo hasn't bee at his best this season, and ETH would love to have an in form Ronaldo because we need goals. How can you sit there and claim that we're better with him on the team?
Should ETH just play Ronaldo regardless to his form? Should ETH not take an action with Ronaldo after what happened? I don't understand what Roy wants here.

Yeah was assuming that’s what you were talking about, but he didn’t end his career. Unless he hit him so hard it went right through his body and into his other leg. Definitely didn’t end Alfies career.
Just got a massive blind spot for him hasn't he. Sad because he talks a lot of sense most of the time.
Fair enough on whoever thinks he's a decent pundit. I myself think he's an entertaining pundit who has a good comedic delivery to things (which compared to other woefully boring pundits is a blessing) but I never found him really insightful on anything.
Which I guess, that should mean I should really be just laughing at his bias nonsense and say "there he goes off again".
In that case he shouldn't have behaved like a prick and come on as a sub when ETH asked him to.
What he did was unforgiveable.
It's always frustrating to watch when Roy loses his rag...no one was saying Ronaldo shouldn't be punished, and they all agreed he was in the wrong for walking off.
The mad ramblings in the middle were all unnecessary.

It was wrong but
Well, that was embarrassing
I’m actually surprised at his love for Ronaldo . I’d have thought he’d be the exact type of player Keane would have no time for . ( playing for his own accolades , not a team player , managers allowing him not to track back hence giving his team mates having to do his job )
Had the exact same thought. It's very strange and sad to see Keano descend to those depths.
And this is why the Ronnie circus needs to leave as well. Just like the Pogba circus. All these pundits (and the station) are just obsessed with these players (even when they aren't playing!) just because they generate views with their "heated debates"
It's only unforgivable if you don't like the player?
Is Scholes refusing to pay a match unforgivable?
Ruud asking for a transfer just before the FA Cup Final unforgivable?
Rooney wanting out because Chelsea and City had more money unforgivable?
Ronny messed up everyone knows it and he deserves to be punished. It's not unforgivable though just because you have a problem with him
