do anyone watch the interview?

he was actually really funny the way he delivered that line.

the guy is still a **** though.

[magicalbarnes]

He has a lot or respect for Liverpool FC though.

I always found him quite interesting and one of the better pundits around.

But he's now writing a column for the Irish S*n on Sunday.

I've lost all respect for the man.

He has no ties to LFC - what's the issue?

R.I.P. Triggs.

Roy Keane was in Dublin today to lend his support for the Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind and he bore some bad news about his faithful companion and possibly the most famous canine in football, Triggs.

Rumours of Triggs’ demise had been greatly exaggerated in the past and it had falsely been reported on a number of occasions that she had passed away.

Sadly, Keano confirmed that Triggs (not pictured above) had indeed gone to the great big kennel in the sky in recent weeks, as Irish Independent football writer Daniel McDonnell was one of the many hacks to pass on the news via the Twittersphere earlier today.

Triggs has been so indelibly linked with Keane for years now that it seems an age since she first came to prominence in the aftermath of the infamous Saipan affair. Back then, she was widely photographed and filmed being walked by a scowling Keane back in Manchester while Royston tried manfully to avoid the attention of the press.

She was seen with Keane on a number of occasions in subsequent years, with the former Manchester United skipper once revealing that his fondness for Triggs and canines in general was based on the fairly sound rationale that "Unlike humans, dogs don't talk ****".

Obviously inheriting some of the character traits of her owner, Triggs was also at the centre of a police probe in 2009 when her barking up the wrong tree caused a confrontation between Keane and a neighbour, while she has also starred in a television advertisement for Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind in the past.

Although she’s gone, Triggs’ legacy is set to live on in the shape of a book by author of the Ross O’Carroll Kelly series, Paul Howard, who earlier this year revealed plans for a Triggs autobiography, or ‘autodogography’, based on her rather eventful life with possibly the most interesting Irish football personality ever.

The book is set to hit the shelves early next month and will hopefully be a fitting tribute to the most well known dog in football since Pickles, who famously found the missing World Cup trophy in 1966.

She’ll be sadly missed.

RIP Triggs.

I can only concur that dogs, unlike humans, don't talk ****, furthermore, unlike cats, they are exemplary companions that don't go around killing for fun.

Our retriever unfortunately had to be put down a few weeks ago, he was only 7 years old. The last days were heartbreaking, I had a very special bond with him. RIP Connor.

We all die. Everything decays.

I grew up with a dog so I love them, was gutted when we had to have him put down. He was 14 so he'd had a good innings.

My brother had a yellow lab, had to have him put down a couple of years ago, he was 16 which is a damn good age really. Was still gutted though!

Roy Keane will be confirmed as the new manager of Kasimpasa SK tomorrow, according to the Turkish club’s vice-president.

The former Republic of Ireland captain has been on the managerial market since January last year when he was sacked by Ipswich but few expected him to be heading for the Turkish Super Lig.

However, Hasan Hilmi Oksuz told Turkey’s Anadolu Agency yesterday a deal has been agreed with the former Manchester United skipper.

“We reached an agreement with Keane,” he said. “He will be in Istanbul tomorrow (Monday) if nothing extraordinary happens. We will benefit from his experiences right into our vision. We believe he can lead this club to the glorious results."

If appointed, Keane will succeed former Fenerbache player Metin Diyadin, who was sacked by Kasimpasa despite winning promotion from the second tier last year and leading them to second in the league this season.

A 2-0 win over Fenerbahce last night saw them move to within a point of Turkish giants Galatasaray after six games.

Keane, who managed Sunderland to promotion from the Championship in 2007 before eventually standing down in December 2008 halfway through a disappointing second season in the top flight, has recently been more visible as a pundit with ITV.
