The man is a fantastic manager, what he achieved at Ipswich makes him one of the all time greats in my mind............
It's funny but not surprising to see the media decide that Nani shouldn't have been sent off for trying to win the ball after they were all in favour of Adebayor being sent off for doing the same thing
I just feel sorry for their fans. Apparently the last time Man United fans were ****ed-over like that, Ian Huntly got life
The thing to remember with Roy Keane, he is a past-it footballer and a bang-average manager. He's now 'trading' on his controversial hard-man media image - he's looking to be outrageous: suggesting Wayne Rooney has the "writing on the wall" for his Manchester United career... being left out of the starting 11 tonight obviously spells that out! His sneering, unapologetic stance towards Nani's red card... ...yeah, he's a ****, but a well-paid ****.
He has a massive chip on his shoulder, a whole bag of spuds actually. And anyone who agrees with him is on the wind-up, a sad bastard ABU or knows absolutely **** all about the game. Yes, I am beeling
Keane is a **** and played for the most ****ish team and manager for most of his career. Funny as **** last night though. Shoving it up Fungushuns red raw pooper. Man United don't get all the decisions their own way in Europe. As for being "distraught". What a spazzy ***** **** with no balls to face the media. Very pwoud.
I'm not that bothered to be honest, I've been far more gutted by results in the past. We're not good enough to go all the way and win it, so we may as well go out now and concentrate on getting our title back.

Paddy Crerand loses it AGAIN Does Roy Keane hold a grudge against Man Utd? Paddy Crerand tells NT Breakfast Keane has "turned sour" over what happened to him at United Paddy Crerand has told Newstalk Breakfast that, he believes, Roy Keane âhas turned sour because of what happened at Manchester Unitedâ and âmaybe thatâs one of the reasonsâ for Keane backing the red card decision in last nightâs Champions League tie between Manchester United and Real Madrid. Crerand, a former United player and current MUTV pundit and commentator, also told Newstalk Breakfast he thought Keane was trying to be controversial with the aim of getting noticed, a trait he feels is prevalent in Irish football analysis. âI think sometimes when people are on televisionâ¦they want to be noticed all of a sudden. âIf 99% agree with a decision Iâll disagree just to get noticedâ. Thatâs happened in Ireland for quite some time in actual fact, by different people that come on television and have opinions. If someone says white another person says black,â Crerand said. Nani was shown a red card in the 56th minute of last nightâs Champions League last sixteen second leg. The dismissal came following a high challenge from Nani on Real Madrid defender Alvaro Arbeloa and drew enraged protests from United players and Sir Alex Ferguson. Keane went against the general consensus on the ITV panel last night and backed the referee's call. While attempting to control a dropping ball, Nani raised his foot to chest height and collided with the Real Madrid player. Replays suggested Nani was unaware of Arbeloaâs presence and there was no ill intent in the challenge, however the referee deemed it dangerous play and dismissed Nani. The red card was a huge talking point in its own right, however the two Real Madrid goals that soon followed - as the Spanish champions grasped control of the game against Unitedâs ten men â ensured the sending off grew massively in significance; to the point where it will be remembered as a pivotal moment in Unitedâs season. Following the game, three quarters of the ITV four man panel defended Nani. The general consensus was that the challenge was an accidental coming together, with Nani unaware of Arbeloaâs presence being a key mitigating factor. Roy Keane, however, refused to accept that reading of the situation and backed the refereeâs decision to show the player a red card. Keane's comments have, unsurprisingly, ignited a debate. Video of Keane's comments last night âIt doesnât matter if he knows thereâs somebody there or not, itâs irrelevant,â Keane said. Keane defended the referee and made the point that the decision was not an instantaneous call made in the heat of a charged moment. âWe can be critical of the referee, weâre always say referees are quick to make a decision [but] he waited a couple of minutes, no doubt spoke to assistant and said âlisten we think itâs dangerousâ. Itâs a red card. â âYouâre saying itâs like he wasnât aware of the player â you have to be aware of other footballers on the pitch. Does he think heâs going to have 20 yards to himself? âYou can argue all day - It was dangerous play [and] whether he meant it or not doesnât matter. âAny time I was sent off in my career I always thought âdid I give the referee a chance to send me off?â. If the answer is yeah then itâs out of your hands and I think the referee has made the right call. âEveryoneâs upset about it and theyâre slightly unlucky but itâs dangerous play.â Crerand disagreed with Keane's judgment, wholeheartedly. âLet me tell you something â a foulâs got to be intentional. If you look at that situation last night, Nani didnât see him coming. Nani wasnât even looking at Arbeloa.â Crerand also believes Keaneâs status as a former Manchester United captain lend his words no additional weight, and Keaneâs position as one of the minority backing the referee shows he has it wrong. âThatâs got nothing to do with it. If he played for Timbuktu, it doesnât make a damn difference who he played for.â âYou read all the papers this morning, look at all the television and Roy Keane is the only who said the referee got it right. So everybody else is wrong and Roy is right?â http://www.newstalk.ie/Does-keane-hold-a-grudge-against-Man-Utd-Paddy-Crerand-on-NT-Breakfast
I'm loving the fact that someone (even though he has an agenda) is shoving it up Man Ure's arse. Oh god I'm distraught. ****in cock of a man and a ****in arrogant football club.
