That's what you get when you're one of the greatest players Ireland has ever produced. Would have walked into any team in the world at his peak. Then throw in his decisive, highly opinionated and volatile personality. 

That's without mentioning Saipan. It's hardly surprising he gets the coverage.
But walked out on Ireland.  
 


Sent home according to this.



Mick McCarthy has broken his silence on Saipan, insisting his decision to SEND Roy Keane home from the 2002 World Cup ‘was the right thing’.

Mick is to Roy Keane what Lex Luthor is to Superman, what Newman is to Jerry Seinfeld, what The O'Shea is to me.

Dearest O'Shea, I must leave you. Why, I cannot say. Where, you cannot know. How I will get there, I haven't decided yet. But one thing I can tell you. Anytime I hear the wind blow it will whisper the name...O'Shea. And so, let us part with a love that will echo through the ages. ---Hotlips

Keane is 51, not 49 and he played 480 games for United not the 326 listed.
Also said his parents moved to Mayfair when they mean Mayfield

He played 326 league games, looks like someone only read the summary on his wikipedia page

And Robbie with Hull (although not Hull with Robbie). Good luck to him in the unlikely event it happens, though Hull look dead in the water. Hopefully, his chance will come.

They're only after getting a former Olympiakos manager who was linked with the Wolves job and Robbie thinks he could be in the frame. His delusion really is something else.

Got an assistant manager role at Middlesbrough basically he's mates with Jonathan Woodgate, despite being uniformly unqualified for a role at that level. Mick McCarthy literally stated that he was foisted into his managerial setup and is still? getting paid handsomely to do nothing under the Kenny regime. The point of contention for me isn't that Keane is still being paid the terms of his contract - I understand if the FAI was stupid enough to give him a role he wasn't qualified, or wanted, for - it's that he essentially inserted himself into the role through entitlement and is now holding a financially bereft organisation random after the natural order of events takes course. I don't expect him to do the honourable thing and walk away, accept a cut in pay, or give a large % of it to charity. That's fine. I'm a frugal guy and like money as well. But he sure has lost a large amount of respect and, frankly, deserves to become a laughing stock because of his avarice, entitlement, laziness and boorishness.

He should ring Mark Kennedy, Jim Goodwin and Brian Barry-Murphy and get tips on what to do to make himself an attractive proposition for owners at League Two level looking for an ambitious and hungry manager who wants to work his way up the football pyramid through merit.

But he thinks he can still coast on 68 goals at senior Intl level when it has absolutely no relevance to the world of coaching, ideas, management or tactics.

He has got his UEFA A license.

He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

I have no hate for him at all, great goalscorer, LFC fan (where he was harshly treated), but I do have some regard for HH's view in this particular instance. His 500k annual salary for doing nothing (whether or not that is the FAI's fault) leaves a little bit of a sour taste!

Apart from that, great goalscorer.
