Hmmm. We do know that Keano has a short-fuse.

That is the understatement of the year !

Two ridiculous posts about a man who was assaulted while at work, based on some incidents during a playing career which finished 2 decades ago.

Interesting that the guilty man has been "an Arsenal fan since birth". What is wrong with people's heads in this cuntry?

That is laughable. I have no particular antagonism against Roy Keane, but is he the total victim here? I have seen footage of him putting his elbow aggressively into the "guilty" person's face. Just trying to defend himself, of course.

We can't all be Spurs fans, mate.

Yes, he is the victim here.

Anyone know why he wasn't arrested and charged for this?

Where's the footage of Keane getting nutted?

Just had a search online but all I can find is Keane chasing the fat bloke through some double doors, grabbing hold of him, then putting an elbow in his face?

The oldies on here post more and more crap every day

Great to see people on here putting District Judge Angus Hamilton right on a few points he may have been unsure of. With this kind of insight and judgment, they may be missing an opportunity to fly out to the States to help Donald Trump's defence team.

Thank you. We try our best in-between the increasingly more frequent comfort breaks.

Can you show where a complaint was made to the police?

They were at the game, saw it and did nothing. Law and Order broken.

That’s not what I asked. I asked if a complaint was made to the police.

And that wasn't an answer to my original question. If you don't know why he was not arrested and charged just say. Its OK to not know everything.

Thuggery committed on a football field for which he should have got at least a 12 month playing ban.
Would have been interesting to see Keane try and take on Dave Mackay or Graeme Souness in the midfield, you did not mess with either of those midfield hard men, both of course were famous Scottish international football players !

Why Dave Mackay hated famous Billy Bremner photo.
Jimmy Greaves, a Spurs team-mate of Mackay’s, was more forthright in his criticism of Bremner when he discussed the photo in 2011. “When Dave grabbed Billy it was probably the only time this nasty little player ever looked frightened in his entire career,” he said.

He wasn’t arrested and charged because the police don’t routinely intervene on foul play in football matches, and doing so would require a complaint by the victim unless the circumstances were exceptional.
That’s the answer, you know it is. Are you going to pretend not to know this?

Because his foot just slipped.

I suppose that's one way of looking at it.

wasn't Keane fined and banned for further matches for the comments that were written in his autobiography about the Haaland tackle?

Yes. Why do you ask?

There are some "nasty" or "hasty" tackles" because of "previous" on this MBoard. Why do people have to be so "picky"?

Errrr? It's relevant to the topic.
