I loved Keane as a player, but he can be a twat. There was his protracted contract wrangling at United, his ignominious exit and the bitter griping he's done about us since he left. I think he might be right about RoI though. There's nothing wrong with being good losers, but I think you can be TOO good at it, if you catch my drift. Mind you, I think the same could be said of England.
Giovanni Trapattoni's Managerial Honours: 7 Italian League Titles, 1 German League Title, 1 Portuguese League Title and 1 Austrian League Title. 2 Italian Cups, 1 German Cup and 1 German League Cup. 1 European Cup, 1 Cup Winners Cup and 3 UEFA Cups. Various minor trophies. One of only two coaches that have won all three major European club trophies and one of only 5 managers to have won the title in at least 4 countries. Roy Keane's Managerial Honours: 1 Football League Championship.
dont think he did I personally think roy is not mr subtle etc but spot on a lot of the times Even the stuff he said about UTD if you listen closely and read the whole/proper articles makes sense Dont have to agree with it but doesnt mean there isnt a point Personally think his points prove his passion for Ireland As for managerial records, they are only as good as your last job, Avram Grant was a kick away from a CL trophy but is dire and Harry redknapp was being hailed as teh messiah but his record is shoite compared to capello
Man Utd beat Saints on the last day of the 2004/05 season, sending the South Coast side down for the first time in 27 years. After the final whistle, Roy Keane ran the length of the pitch in front of the Itchen Stand, doing the thumbs down gesture with both hands. Absolutely no need for it, it wasn't as if he had got any stick from the home fans. The man's a prick. It is fun though, watching Adrian Chiles gently winding him up whilst remaining on his toes and presumably ready to bolt in case he bites. Like seeing someone poke a tiger with a stick.
Keane criticised Trapattoni's selections, claiming that Robbie Keane, Shay Given, Richard Dunne, Damien Duff and John O'Shea had been picked because of their reputations. He asked what they had done. Leaving aside the obvious questions about who else he'd have rather picked, especially in place of Given or Dunne, he appears to have missed them qualifying for this tournament. He also missed his namesake becoming the highest goalscorer in his country's history, apparently. The team got well beaten at the tournament and seemed to be suffering from a lack of confidence, possible passed on from club form for a lot of players. The group was extremely difficult, though and better sides would've bowed out to such competent opposition. Croatia did, for a start. If Keane wants to be a pundit, then he can expect his own managerial career to be used in comparison to those that he criticises. He was a winner as a player and his talent on the pitch is unquestionable. His career as a coach has been a failure so far, though. How many managers would've been confident of progressing through that group with the available players?
