Studding a player in the back of the knee, from behind... let's be real, people say he was courageous but half the shit he did was cowardly and I'm a United fan.
The one with Jason McAteer was in August '02, the month I started my first Sunderland season ticket with my dad. Was an honour to see Roy get sent off in person, what a legend
@@maxwellboyne2770 He never blamed Haaland for it. He only explained why he did it. Haaland on the other hand has been milking this for all its worth playing the victim card ever since it happened, even tho he retired cause of the injury on his OTHER leg. If Keano didn’t kick him, nobody but us norvegians would even know who he was. And even most norvegians can’t stand his «poor me» antics✌️
@@padzzz9377 It doesn't really matter if Keane's tackle ended Haaland's career or not. What matters is that it was awful and cowardly. That wasn't a "kick" that was a cowardly assault.
Yeah they played each other in the round of 16 in the champions league 04/05 season where milan won 1-0 to united. (the same champions league liverpool came back from the 3-0 lead from milan in the final.)@@gustavovelascoh
Most kids who played football with us in the street "styled" themselves after famous footballers. You got the three Ronaldinho's trying fancy flicks. The Pirlo's and Totti's dancing around with passes. The Beckhams with their hair all nice. The lazy Inzaghi's just hanging at one end. And then you got the few self-styled Gattuso-Keanes, kicking at everyone's legs, shouting obscenities. I vividly remember one of them giving himself the nickname "Grozny", after the most destroyed city in Russia during the Chechen war back then. "I destroy everything," he said.
I'm a city fan and Roy Keane assisted in a lot of heartbreak, but I respect his passion for the game and at least he doesn't do the "I'm all innocent" routine.
@seanandrews5329 I've watched them, and football as a whole, go from nothing to being something I'm not so sure I recognise anymore, so I just enjoy it more now and don't get caught up in the hype. If you asked me about Roy 15 years ago, it would have been very different.
He doesn't exactly take responsibility either though. A big man can turn the other cheek, and (as good as Keane was) a better footballer might have found revenge by embarrassing Haaland on the pitch, Roy Keane just assaulted the guy and has always stuck to the he-started schtick that most infants grow out of. It's not very worthy of respect.
His brave stance in Saipan ,WC 02 with Ireland, changed forever the Irish psychic in all international sports that moral victories was acceptable..it certainly impacted on Irish rugby.
An absolute legend. That kind of player/captain/leader you won’t see in todays football. Way less in the future. It just extincted. What a pleasure to watch cantona and Keano playing together
I'm an Arsenal fan. I think Roy Keane is one of the best players I've ever seen play football. The reason Keane went at McAteer is because of the World Cup in 2002. This game at Sunderland's Stadium of Light Stadium was at the start of the 2002 /03 season. That is to say August 2023. The World Cup had been on in Japan and Korea only 2 months previously. This is the infamous World Cup where Keane had been sent home by Mick McCarthy ( the Irish manager at the time ) after they had huge row around the fact that McCarthy had the team train for the World Cup on a tiny island called Saipan. Before the game Sunderland's three Irish players receive awards for their participation at the World Cup. The Sunderland crowd are pumped and chant about the World Cup and Keane's absence from it. Saipan was an absolute disaster for Ireland. There wasn't even a football pitch on this island. So they trained on an abandoned fucking car park. McCarthy was a piss poor organiser and no one had arranged for kit for the players to arrive. They had no footballs. No cones. No bibs. No energy snacks / drinks to aid recovery. It short a complete shit show. Now Roy Keane was insanely obsessive about training well and EVERYTHING being perfect. It's hard to convey just how intense he was back at the height of his powers. ( he had won the PFA Player of the Season and the Sports Writer Player of the Season the previous season 2001/2002 - not many midfielders have ever won both awards - he's the best midfielder I've ever seen play the game.) Anyway so Keane loses it and gives an interview with a leading Irish newspaper where he tears into McCarthy. McCarthy calls a team meeting and questions whether Keane's commitment and loyalty to his country. Of course, Keane goes apeshit. McCarthy sends him home. Jason McAteer was a key part of that Ireland team and squad. He writes newspapers articles where he sides with McCarthy and questions Keane's mental state. During the game McAteer winds Keane up about his World Cup exit. The clash numerous times and you can see McAteer saying things to Keane each time. McAteer then makes a gesture of writing in a book. Keane - as the Irish captain - had been contracted to write a book about his World Cup experience. He book had some out a week or so before this game. In it Keane EVISCERATED McCarthy. The book sells millions in Ireland the UK. This gesture of why don't you go write it in your book winds Keane up and the next chance he gets he elbows McAteer in the head. McAteer gets up and pretends to write something on his palm - he makes this gesture in a very fey and girly way. Keane loses it and chases McAteer around the centre circle as his team mates hold him back. Keane then stomps off the park. The entire stadium are howling at him and chanting something about the World Cup. Niall Quinn - Sunderland and Irish striker / legend and beast of big CF - runs across the pitch as Keane is leaving the pitch and puts his open hand in Keane's face - he's looking for Keane to shake his hand. It seems like he's saying mocking Keane and saying well done and thank you for leaving us at the World Cup. Quinn later pleads that he was merely trying to make peace with Keane and put everything behind them. Keane pushes his hand away and rages. Sunderland win the game 1-0. English media stunned by these scenes. They ask if we are to see this Irish civil war play out at every ground where Irish players play for the rest of the season,.
Sunderland didn't win the game. It ended 1-1. And you'd have seen nothing of this on MotD as ITV had the Premier League terrestrial rights at the time.
Keano was a f***ing warrior and a patriot of man utd. Miss those days warchingn him in the trenches. Legend. One of the only past man utd players to earn the accolade true red, through and through, gave his all week in week out, and played for the badge not his ego. Feared on the pitch.
" He deserved it, I liked that, he deserved it...here I felt bad...(you would think about the guy he f-ed)...about letting lads down...he deserved it, it was Neville's fault anyway. "
When Roy Keane did his cruciate ligament in, it took Roy Keane nearly a year to return to health and during that period he reached his lowest point in the game.
lol Keane felt bad for that last one, NOT for stamping the keeper on the back, but for letting the team down. He'll always be my favorable United captain. Kinda sucks that he is mostly remembered for his red cards and antics nowadays, and not as much for his world class performances over the years at United.
He's a prat. Haaland was stood over him because Keane had hurt himself trying a very cynical foul. But instead of considering that Keane, takes offence and goes psycho.
He was an absolute animal, some utterly disgusting fouls that can be classed as assault quite frankly and yet he’s a legend. Who doesn’t love this bloke?
i'm american and my dad gets mad when he's sees i'm watching liverpool instead of hockey. i sent him this video and said i found your favorite soccer player hahaha. such a funny vid
@@ero-samairianto625 I suppose that's up for debate. I watched him play 34 times for Rangers and I know he was only young, but there's no way anyone who watched him then, would say he was world class. He improved and was in the Italy/Milan team which won the world cup and CL twice. Maybe during that period it could have been argued that he was world class, but I guess that depends on your definition of world class. For me to be world class you have to be in the best 11 players in the world. Keane always was, but Gatusso for me is debatable, however I respect anyone's opinion who says he was!
It's still a red even if you dont connect. It's violent conduct. I've seen multiple reds for missed punches and headbutts. But roy is never wrong. As much as i love watching him he's full of it sometimes.
@@laoch5658 how am I mocking Keane he said himself he was hurt trying to kick haaland sure everyone can see he did try to catch him and missed that's what haaland was shouting at him for trying to kick him and Keane got revenge the world knows it
