Roy Keane has laid bare a furious bust-up with Reading when he was battling to keep Sunderland in the Premier League – and rates it as the “only time” he lost his temper as a boss. The fiery former Manchester United man admits that he lost his cool after losing 2-1 to The Royals in December 2007 – a game that was marred by poor refereeing decisions. And he reveals that he had Kevin Dillon by the tie in furious scenes at the Madejski Stadium. Keane’s new autobiography The Second Half is out on Thursday morning and reveals details of his Sunderland exit – as well as snippets such as attempting to sign Robbie Savage, but being put off by his voicemail message. But despite talk of his reign being a tempestuous one, the game at Reading as Black Cats boss is the only time he “lost his temper” – according to the man himself. He recounts: “The game at Reading, just before Christmas, was the only time I really lost my temper as a manager. I’d lost my temper before – but I’d used my temper. This time I used physical force. I grabbed a staff member, put his head on a table, and tried to pull his tie off. But he was a Reading staff member, not one of ours. “It was the first half, a tight game. Maybe the pressure was building on me – I don’t know. Steve Coppell was managing Reading, and he had a couple of lads working with him, Wally Downes and Kevin Dillon. I looked across at their dugout, and Kevin Dillon was looking back across, calling me a w*****r. “I go ‘What - me?’ “He goes, ‘Yeah, yeah. You’re always on at the f*****g referee. “I said nothing back. I never got involved with opposition managers or staff – never.” After the game, it became obvious that tempers had flared up. Keane added: “But I went to our dressing room and thought no more of it. “The second half we were robbed – again – in injury time. Stephen Hunt got a shot in, and the linesman on the far side reckoned it was over the line. It wasn’t, but the goal was given. It was another big, big loss for us. When it was 1-1, Kenwyne Jones had gone through and was near to winning it for us in injury time. So instead of winning, we’d lost. “At the end of the game, walking down the stairs, I saw Wally Downes shaking all my players’ hands. “‘Unlucky lads’. “You generally don’t see staff shaking the other team’s hands. I said nothing. It had been a big win for Reading and there was a lot of celebrating. I went into our dressing room. I wasn’t annoyed with the players, more the decision. I spoke to the players and staff. “‘Okay, we’re all upset. But whatever we do, we’re Sunderland. We show a bit of class. We accept the decision, we move on and get ready for next week. “The players were getting themselves organised, and I was waiting for my staff to go in for a drink with Steve Coppell and the Reading lads. I didn’t want to but I kept thinking ‘We’re Sunderland – we’ll do things properly.’ “The staff were taking ages, so I said ‘I’ll go on lads. Follow me in.’ “I walked into Steve’s office. Wally Downes was there and their director of football, Nick Hammond. Kevin Dillon was sitting down. “I go ‘Well done lads, well done.’” Events in the office escalated quickly, as Keane recalls: “As I was talking to Wally, Kevin Dillon stood up and goes, ‘Don’t you come in here and –’ “I grabbed him, got his head on the table, pulled his tie up. “‘I’m f*****g warning you –’ “Nick Hammond grabbed me. ‘What are you doing?!’ “‘You f******g –’ “‘Get out of our office!’ “I went ‘F*** yis anyway.’ “Dillon said, ‘What are you having a go at me for? I’m a Sunderland man’. I went ‘F*** you and I walked out.” There was a comedy interlude when his staff became aware of it. Keane had left the stadium by the time they knew but informed of the bust-up, their reaction was less than concerned. Keane writes: “Apparently Raimond van der Gouw, our goalkeeping coach, had said: ‘Well, can we still have a sandwich?’”
From Big Chris's version of Roys book. ROY KEANEâS new autobiography is set to dominate the back pages of newspapers and much office chatter as details of his book slowly emerge ahead of its publication this Thursday. The book, tentatively titled Everybody Is A Prick Except Me, largely focuses on the later years of his playing career bringing the reader right up to 2014 and Keaneâs role as both Ireland and Aston Villa assistant manager. One detour from this formula sees the Cork man discuss one of his earliest childhood memories â being stuck in a cramped womb. âVery little planning went in to the whole construction obviously. Youâre talking about a bodily process that has seen billions born throughout the history of mankind and here I am, a future United captain, struggling for room to fully stretch out my legs,â reads the opening of the third chapter of Keaneâs book. âYouâve what? Nine months to really plan it, make changes, adjustments, Jesus even get a decent light in the place but they didnât and by the time I was born I had plenty to say to my parents about it. My first words were âamateur hourâ and âIâm disappointed in youââ. Keaneâs book, which is sure to be a best seller, also covers much of his time away from the game post-retirement. âI had played at the highest level and never really had an opportunity to enjoy some time off,â Keane says as he details the year he spent traveling the world in an attempt to see some of the worldâs greatest cultural sites and feats of human achievement. âVisited the Sistine Chapel, boring. **** technique for a painter if weâre being honest. The Pyramids, built too far out of town with poor public services, fecking sand everywhere. GaudÃâs Cathedralâ¦the prick never bothered to finish it likeâ¦â Keane goes on like this for close to four chapters. Keaneâs ghostwriter, Roddy Doyle, revealed to WWN that the experience was arduous at times. âI wrestled with Roy on the number of character assassinations he should put in the book,â explained Doyle, âbut in the end he got his way and the bit about Ghandi being â****ing useless in a street fightâ stayed in.â
I rang Mark Hughes. Robbie [Savage] wasn't in the Blackburn team and I asked Mark if we could try to arrange a deal. Sparky said: 'Yeah, yeah, he's lost his way here but he could still do a job for you.' Robbie's legs were going a bit but I thought he might come up to us [at Sunderland], with his long hair, and give us a lift - the way Yorkie [Dwight Yorke] had, a big personality in the dressing room. Sparky gave me permission to give him a call. So I got Robbie's mobile number and rang him. It went to his voicemail: 'Hi, it's Robbie - whazzup!' like the Budweiser ad. I never called him back. I thought: 'I can't be f*cking signing that."
Anybody can register as an associate ,as your big mouth said ,i dont have to prove anything to you or anybody else ,you wouldnt be interested in doing it as its a form of work . (ok) boy. Now stop your insults once again and just accept things, move on and stop responding my posts ,theres a good boy.
But it doesn't get you early releases unless you proof read the book. Are you claiming to be Roy Keane's proof reader? You can't even put a comma in the right place. Sorry if you think being found out as a lair is throwing insults Stu, but you're full of s**t. Just accept and admit you've been found out and move on, there's a good boy. I'm not the only one taking the piss by the way, open your eyes.
Keane on Newcastle: ROY Keane has labelled Newcastle United fans as “arrogant” in his new autobiography. Keane – who famously clashed with Alan Shearer at St James’s Park – was twice sent off at the stadium during his Manchester United career. Writing in The Second Half, which is out today, Keane, now assistant manager at Aston Villa, was scathing about the club. He said: “I always had a bit of hassle against Newcastle. “I’d been sent off twice up there. I’d had my battles with Shearer and Rob Lee. “I always thought they were an arrogant bunch, for a club that had won **** all. We always got decent results at St James’s Park; it wasn’t a bad place to play. “But as for the Toon Army, the Geordies and the hostile reception – I never fell for all that crap.” Keane also encountered Newcastle during his time as Sunderland manager. The 43-year-old guided the club to a historic 2-1 win over United at the Stadium of Light in the 2008-09 campaign. “It was the first time we’d beaten Newcastle at home in thirty-odd years,” said Keane. “It was electric – the tension. (Djibril) Cisse scored, and Kieran (Richardson). The level of player we had now had gone up since I’d come to the club. “We played really well. I think it was my happiest day at Sunderland.” Sunderland lost 2-0 at St James’s Park the previous season. “We were a goal down after four minutes – a Michael Owen header,” he said. “There were mind games going on before the match. The police got us there three hours before kick off – players got bored, testosterone levels are high; it’s too long to wait. “Jonny (Evans) and Phil Bardsley were injured, so didn’t play. They were a big loss.”
As you always say smug,let the work shy man prove that i am a liar ,he knows nothing of how the network of readers and associates work, the major part of this book i read nearly a year ago . I suppose that makes me tory ,nazi again ,knowing the book had not hit the shelves why in heavens name would i ask the question in the first place ,think about it.
