This. I respect Keane for what he done on the football pitch and he goes down as a certified United legend but off the field he's a fecking prick.The bloke's a professional bellend. He's basically Piers Morgan but people here jump on his dick because he used to be mint at football.
Both, but the latter more so than the formerBut is he a legendary cnut, or a cnuting legend?
Seriously. Dancing Queen while getting pumped up for football? That's just not on. You'd have to question a team that doesn't object to that.Tbh the moment I'd hear an ABBA song played before a match I'd leave that club.
http://www.independent.ie/sport/soc...n-he-says-i-hung-him-out-to-dry-30647736.htmlDunphy collaborated with the former Manchester United and Ireland captain on his first autobiography, which was published in 2002.
The book caused huge controversy at the time due to Keane’s account of the challenge he made on Haaland.
An English FA hearing was convened and Keane was later found guilty of being “improperly motivated by an element of revenge” when he committed the foul on Haaland in April 2001.
In Keane’s new book – which is out tomorrow but was leaked earlier this week – he claims Dunphy hung him out to dry at the hearing.
“It was Eamon Dunphy’s turn to be a witness. He’d already said he’d used his own words to describe the tackle. Before we went in, I’d been going to say to him, ‘Eamon, if they ask you if you think I intentionally went to injure Haaland, say no’,” Keane said.
“But I decided not to. I wouldn’t embarrass him by saying something as simple as that.”
“[Jim]Sturman [chairman of inquiry] asked him, ‘Mr Dunphy, do you think Mr Keane intentionally went to injure a fellow professional, Mr Haaland?’”
“And Eamon’s three words back to Sturman were, ‘Without a doubt.’
“That was my case, my defence, out the window.
“Eamon had written my book, he was my witness. I think Eamon felt he was on trial and that it was almost a criminal court.
“He wanted to distance himself from it and I could see his point of view.
“He’s delivered the book, he’s done his job and I approved it.
“But I think he might have thought that his account in the book was on trial; he just wanted to get it over and get out of there. He was rushing for his flight back to Dublin. I looked at him and thought, ‘I’m definitely f***** now.”
“I’m not blaming Eamon but it didn’t help.”
Actually thinking about it. It could work with me. Everytime I hear this song I feel the sudden urge to kick someone in the face so yeah... Probably could pump me up for the game.Seriously. Dancing Queen while getting pumped up for football? That's just not on. You'd have to question a team that doesn't object to that.
AgreedBoth, but the latter more so than the former
Giggs certainly gets a free pass from most reds, can't say I have any time for him and Rio.Off the field he's a "fecking prick", a "professional bellend"? Have a word with yourselves, you don't know the first thing about him off the pitch.
A few choice quotes, of which many of us have probably said the same/similar about colleagues before, and you're all hanging him out to dry. Cop on lads.
Ryan Giggs cheated on his wife with his brother's wife. Now that's a bellend if ever there was one.
Why no time for Rio Ferdinand?Giggs certainly gets a free pass from most reds, can't say I have any time for him and Rio.
What and Keano wouldn't have done if he'd had the chance? Wind your neck in.Off the field he's a "fecking prick", a "professional bellend"? Have a word with yourselves, you don't know the first thing about him off the pitch.

Unless it's being played just before a penalty shoot out, the kudos.Tbh the moment I'd hear an ABBA song played before a match I'd leave that club.
Heart attack is his attempt at being funny I think, a poor attempt. The Yorke comment's a little harsh.there's not too much on that list that I'd have an issue with, maybe the heart attack one but the rest is fair game
What?What and Keano wouldn't have done if he'd had the chance? Wind your neck in.
Is this a real opinion? So all blokes would trample over their brother for a sniff of fanny? I don't think so.What and Keano wouldn't have done if he'd had the chance? Wind your neck in.
Jepp, there's no excuse for Giggs here.Is this a real opinion? So all blokes would trample over their brother for a sniff of fanny? I don't think so.
What and Keano wouldn't have done if he'd had the chance? Wind your neck in.
I still can't believe you said this.What and Keano wouldn't have done if he'd had the chance? Wind your neck in.
Keano would have knocked her out. And his clown brother after.What and Keano wouldn't have done if he'd had the chance? Wind your neck in.
Various reasons, don't think marriage was for him.Why no time for Rio Ferdinand?
As much as I love Keane, if anyone can read the above list of quotes and still hang on the bloke’s every word, you want your head examining.
There should be a TV program where they just send him on holiday to places or restaurants. Or get him to meet annoyingly friendly people.
Send him to Cyprus to do a bit of sight-seeing...I don't understand why people get so hung up on what Roy Keane thinks about anything. Roy Keane's opinion on everything is exactly the same..."it's shite"
If you asked Roy Keane what he thought about Roy Keane, he'd tell you he hated him.

Care to elaborate or are you talking hot air?Easily upset some of you with some of those comments.
Top man is Roy which is more than can be said for some of our more local legends and Rio.
You what now? 99% of people on here dont know the first thing off the field about any player. Doesnt mean youre not allowed to form an opinion on someone based on their public persona.Off the field he's a "fecking prick", a "professional bellend"?

Giggs is a bellend for not only cheating on his own partner, but for doing so with his brother's wife. They're the actions of a bellend. I'm sure he's a lovely guy otherwise. I used him as an example, because despite what he's done, he seems to get a free pass from so many United fans, the same United fans who'll jump at an opportunity to call Roy Keane a prick for simply speaking his mind.You what now? 99% of people on here dont know the first thing off the field about any player.

I call the likes of John Terry, Steven Gerrard, Michael Owen (though he has a place in my heart for that city goal), etc all cnuts, as has many before me, as will many after. Am i not allowed because i dont know them at a personal level?
You dont know ryan giggs and you call him a bellend. You only know what the press has told you, and youve formed an opinion based on that. Hypocritical much?
This surely wins most stupid post of the year. Potentially of the decade.What and Keano wouldn't have done if he'd had the chance? Wind your neck in.
Again, so youre judging giggs based on what known about him in the public eye. Youre saying his actions are that of a bellend (without knowing full details), fine. Surely going out your way to injure another player is also, actions of a bellend? Or publicly humiliating your team mates? But thats alright because its keano and he speaks his mind and they needed a kick up the arse, right?Giggs is a bellend for not only cheating on his own partner, but for doing so with his brother's wife.

You can call anyone you like a prick, it's a free world. But jesus have a genuine reason for doing so. If those above had said he can be a bit of a prick sometimes, I'd absolutely agree with them. But to generalise his character off the pitch, considering the insane amount of charity work he's done and still does, just doesn't sit right with me.
