Vieira and Keane TV documentary

[rodders999]

Sat next to Roy on a flight to Manchester once, he spent the entire trip reading GQ magazine and glaring at people. Was going to spark up a conversation with him but I didn't have the balls in the end.

Had this discussion before and much as I admired Keane, I'm sorry but I don't agree with my Irish brothers that Vieira 'bottled it' in the tunnel during their 'confrontation' which then lead to United's victory. When Keane was giving it the big un, Paddy (out of shot of the camera) shouted back a couple of times "Come on then". Keane then replied something like "Out there, we'll see out there" - and what actually happened? Well from my memory he preceded to spend most of the first half avoiding Vieira!!

Indeed, if you remember, we were on top in that first half and went into the break 2-1 up (could have been 3 but for a poor linesman's decision), with Paddy controlling things. Hardly smacks of someone or indeed the team having been 'intimidated' by the pre-match mouthing off of Keane, does it? But for another of Almunia's classic mistakes, we might have gone on to win that game and people's perceptions (helpfully molded by the media) would most likely be different. As the saying goes: History is written by the WInners.

Good old Hlebby. Always wrong. About everything.



Few seperate issues here. Vieira made an arsehole of himself in that tunnel. Vieira was the better footballer. Keane would have sparked Vieira with half a punch. You are a junkie. Thank you.

I'm only willing to concede your second and last points. All the rest is subjective.

people bickering about who is harder, its like a school playground

one was a world cup winner, who went unbeaten for a whole league season and didn't end someone's career,
the other was oirish, oh and a dirty thuggish *word censored* who spend most of his career trying to intimidate people and boost his ego

you missed out, I heard he is quite conversationalist.

Honestly you did the right thing, imagine him asking you 'what kind of stupid question is that???' then staring at you like he wants to see if you'll fit through one of the airplane windows.

Interesting character but is just a bit too crazy.

Both brilliant midfielders and at the heart of their teams' phenomenal periods of success. For all Sky Sports ram it down our throat about the quality, competitiveness and entertainment of the Premier League nowadays imagine what it would be like if Keane and Vieira were around.

Just thinking of a midfield battle between Yaya Toure and Vieira, that would be absolutely superb to watch.

seems to be more about keane vs fergie than anything else

I really enjoyed it...they appear to have an awful amount of respect for each other, despite their on pitch battles (or because of more accurately)
Found myself smiling several times - as they shared jokes and banter about previous encounters.

Yeah I really enjoyed it as well-good bit of nostalgia and found it very interesting

As you say-they clearly have respect for each other but also couldn't resist having a dig whenever possible;

Keane asking if he thinks about that pass (to Giggs) and Vieira discussing winning title at OT-most amusing

[HARLOW GOONER]

Great job by Keane or the Irish FAs PR people - he got lots of non- viera/ arsenal points out to the public.
In my opinion very scripted and I'm sure he (Keane) had to bite his lip to speak to camera for many parts of it.

That aside I do look at Keane in a different light after tonight .
In a different era/time, I'd have had him in my team.
Todays game needs more players like adams, viera, Keane.

No doubt a Roy Keane book is being lined up for publishing next year.

I was introduced to Roy Keane in Bryan Robsons bar in Withington just after he moved to Manchester for
Forest. Had a decent chat about Forest and Cork n stuff. He was surprising quiet and didn't drink much.

He wasn't much of a tough guy then...Shorter than me for sure. That stare was a put on.

I hated him too, same way I hated drogba - always did a job on us in vital games. I remember one game where we were going for the title and we outplayed them at Highbury and Keane popped up twice in the box and we lost 2-1. Fucker.

The back story to the tunnel thing was that in the previous game Neville had done one of our lads on the refs blindside and paddy warned him not to do it again. I don't know if paddy shat it but he looked shocke didn't he ?

Those six years were a great rivalry, shame the chavs killed it.
