Of course it's not. The fact that it was the second time he left the stadium early in a couple of months is troubling though. It also lends credence to the people who were saying that Ronaldo was the problem last season. The only difference is that ETH has been given the backing to deal with it.
This is different, he's 37 which means his ea sports rating goes down.
He's stating (what should be) the fecking obvious, but fair play to him for sticking his head above the parapet as far as our ex-players go.
at first, it surprised me too. But if you think back at how his own United career ended and what happened with Irelands NT, it's not that surprising. He probably sees a bit of himself in all of what's going with Ronaldo.
He's either a massive WUM or a bigger Ronaldo fanboy than anyone on the caf
He never played 90 mins again.
Because he had a dodgy knee, he finished the rest of that game and then played 4 days later FFS!! Can’t be saying Keane ended his career, sick of hearing people say that.

Roy Keane loves a player with a 'proper work ethic'. He has seen Ronaldo train and be obsessed about improving as a player. That is where Keane became a Ronaldo fan.
It was his other knee that ended his career, he'd been having issues with it for months before that game.
not a good comparison. Roy clearly achieved more than de gea and Maguire combined, so he has no respect. Ronaldo far surpassed anything keane ever did for club, country and an individual basis… he respects that obviously, but it’s to the point where it’s stupid now Because ronaldo is clearly shot as a top level player.I'm sure he would have the same view of it if Maguire or De Gea did something like that.
No there are a few more delusional people in here as well.
Roy's a fan now. He's in it with us. So I don't hold his take against him by any stretch.
If im ETH, id rather struggle to score but have everything else in my team working out.
He also later said …
It wasn't even the same knee that ended his career. Keane's challenge was on his right knee, City and Haaland had considered suing but then it emerged that Haaland had stated on his own personal website that his left knee had been causing him trouble for months (he literally had strapping on it during that game) and that was the one that required surgery from which he never fully recovered.
Well at his age, of course he's not the future. Bit of a daft comment really.
Crazy that everyone on here is acting like he gave ETH the finger and has asked to be the new manager. He had a strop, not the end of the world.
The problem is Keane is rambling on with the same narrative he’s had about Ronaldo for a few weeks. He brings it up every time he has the opportunity.
It makes sense. He has a little bit of trauma if after such a long time still thinking about it.
If I may do a bit of stupid, half-arsed armchair psychology for a minute... I think Roy has some slight Borderline Personality Disorder-type tendencies.
He has completely gone mad. Even criticized the Chelsea keeper for getting a hand to the ball and not saving it. He should not be a pundit anymore. When they sound so idiotic it is time that the producers have a word with them. I do not care if he is the best player in the world, if the manager does not want him then he does not play. No player is bigger than the manager. No matter how much he has won as a player.
His constant digs at other players in the team are annoying too. Like when he said Rashford should have done better with the chance in the first half and that “Ronaldo would have probably scored that”. It’s like he’s been watching with his eyes closed when Ronaldo missed a shed load of chances away to a pub Cyprus team and then was anonymous against Newcastle. Rashford is getting into positions and opportunities which Ronaldo just can’t anymore.
this 100%
Yes he still sees Ronaldo as a teenager. Not the grandfather he is going to be soon. we may as well wheel out Denis Law and Sir Bobby, because at one time they were the best players. Ronaldo would probably do better than Rashford for that chance but Ronaldo is not going to be able to get into that position like Rashford did.
I think Ronaldo's ability to get "back in" is severely hampered by not being of the desired level right now unlike those players.
Contrast this to the favorable treatment Ole got in his first two yearsThat's actually a really hard watch. Like seeing that uncle you really like come across as if he's lost his marbles. Fair play to Neville and Kimmy for talking some sense.
Yes
. Beyond clueless and just rambling about his favorite childGood point
