Roy Keane's miserable reaction to Brazil players dancing shows what a joyless mood-hoover he is ✍️ What would Keane have preferred? A handshake and forthright return to their restart positions 🟢 GARSIDEK
was the highlight of the last 16, not least the goal celebrations. They set off flares, got everybody talking. Coach Tite made himself a relatable figure in one shake of those avuncular hips. Richarlison’s overhead kick in Brazil’s opening match was arguably the goal of the tournament until the mesmeric team effort to which he added the final touch to see off Korea, both unapologetically Brazilian flourishes. We are here precisely for this. Well, apart from Keane it seems.
What kind of joyless, bearded, former Manchester United mood-hoover sees the world that way? What would Keane have preferred? A handshake and forthright return to their restart positions. C’mon lads, the job’s not done yet. Keane watched from the bench when Lee Sharpe celebrated United’s first goal against QPR in an FA Cup match at Old Trafford in 1995 by using the corner flag as an impromptu mic during his Elvis impression. Was that disrespect? Not a peep from Keane if it was.
Pity Keane didn’t pay more attention to in-game behaviours when he was chasing referees about the paddock in protest at this decision or that. Poor Andy D’Urso still wakes up screaming at the memory of Keane haring towards him, full scowl, at the vanguard of a vengeful United pack. Of course, the world being one giant village in this historical epoch, word of Keane’s outrage spread around the Copacabana before the teams were back on the pitch, triggering the inevitable pile-on.
As you might imagine, some of Keane’s less fragrant contributions, the tackle on Alf-Inge Haaland, the contretemps with Ireland manager Mick McCarthy both got prominent mentions. His reputation for “butchery” as they called it, following an Intercontinental Cup match in 1999 against Palmeiras, was also lovingly recalled.
It appears Keane has misread the room. To quote from the great Nolans book of Anglo-Irish verse, everyone else is “in the mood for dancing, romancing, giving it all tonight.” Cue Keane’s unveiling in the next line-up of Strictly.
