A small percentage of flies have to survive the winter otherwise there would be no flies to breed the next year. Not sure how God chooses the ones to hide away for winter?
But it's Roy Keane. It's almost expected behaviour. If he doesn't punch someone once a year, or throw abuse, or tell a journo he/she's idiot, then something is obviously wrong with him. So when you write that Roy Keane has hit a fan, one can feel that the planets have moved back into correct alignment. It was that beard.
