Haaland clearly had him rattled.

Carra called Keane a Brit on twitter this morning, then blamed his hangover for the mistake.

It might be getting boring now, but it's still nice to see him sticking the boot into Ferguson.



Roy Keane’s onslaught against Sir Alex Ferguson shows no sign of abating after he accused his former manager of repeatedly trying to force him out of playing for the Republic of Ireland. Ferguson, Keane said, made it clear he did not want players going on international duty unless they were Scottish, when the mantra suddenly became “yeah, you go for it”.

Keane, showing no let-up after a week of caustic headlines, seemed aggrieved that Ferguson had been chosen to speak at the Dublin Chamber of Commerce’s annual dinner when, in his opinion, the former Manchester United manager had frequently tried to undermine the Ireland team.

“I was constantly under pressure from Ferguson [not to play for Ireland],” he said. “He would say: ‘I don’t want you playing in those games’. He didn’t speak to me when I came back after one qualifier. There was all that nonsense going on.

“I guess it was a bit of a compliment because he wanted me available for United. Maybe if I was Scottish he might have been a bit more relaxed about it, because I know other lads would play for their country and he’d say: ‘Yeah, you go for it.’ He certainly didn’t wave me off saying: ‘All the best for Ireland’; far from it. Yet he’s in Dublin, probably preaching to everybody.”

Keane has already accused Ferguson of telling “lies, basic lies” about him, and blames his former manager for helping to create what he believes is an unfair image of what he is actually like. That image, he said, had potentially damaged his managerial career and turned off potential employers.

“It doesn’t help, does it? It doesn’t help these stories constantly coming out about me over the years: ‘He was this, he was that, when he was out and about this was the way he behaved, he used to speak to people like that’ … it was all absolute nonsense. It was all lies. But if you were looking at it from the outside, you’re going to be thinking: ‘I wouldn’t touch him.’

“I admit to making some mistakes. But this idea that I was going in every day kicking chairs and all that … I couldn’t work in that environment. Don’t think for one minute I was going in every day and behaving like a madman. And if people are believing what they are hearing, you are not going to get a call [for a job].”

Yeah, he can **** right off with that given he walked out on his country at the most important point of his entire international career. Surprised he hasn't tried to blame that one on Fergie too.

Can't stand Fergie obviously, but if anything I think I dislike Keane even more. What a hypocritical c*nt.

Good Luck Utd
...........
Sportsmail reported last month how, despite their affection for the player, United were not willing to break the bank for such a deal and Mendes said: 'I no longer get calls from anyone asking about Cristiano because they know that it is impossible to get him out of Madrid, so it's not worth them calling to ask for it.

'The price is that stated in his release clause – €1bn (£785m).
'United are in his heart and he is very respectful of people who show him affection but he is in Madrid to the end.'

The rather ironic thing is that the £80m they sold him for looks to be an absolute bargain from Real's point of view.
