Roy Keane | The Tommy Tiernan Show

[@tommylawlor2857]

I am 77,that's the best interview I've ever seen,two guys just sitting having a chat,you could tell the audience was enthralled,I was just watching it on tv tremendous.

[@mikespink1965]

Roy is the most modest of men. Fantastic player and the best, most entertaining pundit of all time. I'm not an Irishman, but if I was I'd be bloody proud to have Roy represent what it means to be Irish.

[@SeanH1984]

[@HCMCDrives]

Love the pace of this interview. The gaps and silences allow both to think, and the listener to take it in. A breath of fresh air from the horrid US chat shows of loud constant chatting and fake laughing.

[@joaorsousa25]

What a guy. This is great, keeps it simple. Respects the luck in life he got, acknowledges it took work but doesn't overdo it. Tremendous.

[@ShaneFagan]

It’s even more interesting once you realise that Tommy doesn’t know who is on the show week to week. So no preparation or off limits questions

[@davidthegolfer]

It occurred to me when I was watching the last few minutes. Roy said when he stopped playing he didn’t miss it. Remember this United players, and you know who you are. Roy never left anything on the table. He gave everything all of the time. I think I now know him much better. I know why he demands so much from United. Unless they give everything they are shaming the badge we love so much. In this interview with TT he said little but there was so much to learn from his few words. Great man. Much respect.

[@sifunmon]

It’s hard to articulate how much he meant to me as a kid, a United fan in the west of Ireland back then. He was the most admirable person I could think of. Looking back now, there is a tragic element to Keane’s career that makes him even more compelling. He missed the CL final, despite getting his team there. He doesn’t play for Ireland in 02. He is by some distance the most interesting player of his era, and his era had absolute legends everywhere

[@angrystones]

💯 was heart broken when the news came he left

[@sifunmon]

[@hilltopviewer8204]

Thank You Tommy Tiernan and Roy Keane for a lovely interview!

Fascinating interview by a brilliant comedian with an ultra passionate, humble and easily the most watchable & knowledgeable pundit on the TV

[@Mr.M1STER]

~Tommy always tries to ask profound questions and get his guests to spill their guts in some fashion. Roy was having none of it and I love that.

[@neilmcdonnell2964]

Roy, never change. Love or hate he really is a national treasure.

[@tylerdurden2518]

There's no more players of this character. To me he is a legend of the game.

[@francesegan8344]

💯 agree with you ❤

[@phillsmith9255]

I like the way Roy is generally surprised in people's interest in what makes him tick, he's like, "This is just me. It's the way I am".

[@derek2546]

I'm from Nottingham (not a Forest fan, nor a Man Utd fan) but I always liked Roy. I especially liked his chats about the area. I smirked my way through the whole interview. So charismatic.

[@somenobody8599]

Im a Liverpool fan since I was a small child but I always felt so proud of Roy though, he's one of the best of us.

[@MichaelDevlin-ps9fd]

He represented everything that Manchester United should be. Tough, working class and proud. If you don't love Roy, you never saw him play.

[@TheOrlandoTrustfull]

If you think this interview is boring, you must be used to American chat shows, where every single word gets a standing ovation and middle aged women screeching. This is two people chatting.

[@PlaviStrumf]

me as a yugo finds this how it should be from the Irish children of ours :) (of old)

[@Gen7486]

No. From the offset Tommy was being a contrarian to everything he said. Being an interviewer doesn’t mean to battle with the talent.

[@dootwoot]

Who said it was boring though 😂😂😂

[@bredanash2745]

Roy is the most chilled out person ever.

[@bensnell1455]

No, this is someone asking questions and trying to generate conversation and someone proving very difficult to get anything going at times

[@Rabbydabbydoo]

Great interview. They’re both hilarious in their own way. I love that Roy doesn’t give two fucks about who likes or dislikes him or what he thinks and says. Refreshing isn’t it.

[@sudarshansargur9253]

Don’t you dare mistake this man’s humility to actually believe he wasn’t that great technically. He was an absolutely tremendous technical player.

[@finalrush7]

[@David9LUFC]

Legend

[@sjaakbral83]

That's how a perfectionist tics. He probably compairs his crosses with Beckham, his goals with van Nistelrooy, his passing with Scholes and his defending with Jaap Stam.

[@Boric78]

@@sjaakbral83 Yeah the answer to nomore's question is "Levels". He is above most by some distance.

[@adamporteous3156]

​@sjaakbral83 the best way to judge a player is by how the other elite players judge them. Being humble (comparing themselves to those players) is what made him never stop. David's and Zidane thought Scholes and Keane were ELITE. Rare to see a player these days with keane's attitude.

[@marksullivan5786]

Really enjoyed this interview a fantastic insight, great job Tommy Tiernan .

[@maryj5593]

I don't know much about football TBH. I know who Roy is and I have seen him on the television. He strikes me as a private, even shy man. He is comfortable in his skin and knows who he is.What a stand up man, Ireland must be so proud.

[@gafpb]

Didn't realise this show was around. What a cracking interview.

[@calvinsweeney2503]

The premise of the show is that Tommy has no idea who he's interviewing until they walk out so there's no prep time or script involved. Sometimes it works out very well!

[@garybarnes3446]

I'm an Ipswich fan and remember Roy as our manager. Don't think he was given enough time at Portman Road. Gutted when he left.

[@sharpvidtube]

I know some Ipswich fans that were pleased to see him go. Not often that a top player makes a good manager. No managers get enough time now. Alex Fergusson would probably be sacked now, with the start he had.

All he told us is he played in some strong teams and couldn't care less about what anyone else thinks about him.. And that's ok. If he does not wish to discuss his career or family life, well that's his choice. He made his few bob, won trophies and that's all he wanted to communicate. The mysterious Mr Keane..

It’s added to and reaffirmed my respect for a man who truely made the most of his talent. I can understand why he WON’T tolerate the players at United who don’t try every minute of 90+. He would never have made the career he had if he hadn’t tried. I just saw an interview with Rubin Amorim and he singled out Roy as a special United person. Much respect Mr Keane.

I've got used to seeing Roy on the overlap , so you forget his hard hardman reputation , but as he was introduced and he walked in , it was like he was walking into a boxing press conference , that was a top entrance, he looked like he was going to stick one on the host 😂😂 I love Roy Keane , hated him as a player , im not a united fan , but he is a hardman persona , but we now see his personality and that he likes a laugh. Stuff like this and the overlap has really brought him out of himself

His world class mentality was on display again. No fat, no bs, his goal was world cup with Ireland and he made it happen. Humble beginnings which he held onto spurred him into training so hard that he surpassed so many others and led by example with an iron will. I hope he knows how rare that is in today's game. He is such a legend and one of the first picks for any United fan if they could bring 1 player back for another career with us. I cant believe how ridiculously spoilt I was watching Fergie's Utd and watching this man, Roy Keane, lead us to greatness during that era. Pure brilliance, it was unforgettable.

[@FrFluffyBottom00]

He's harsh on himself. Keane was a phenomenal footballer. Excellent control, great passer, good defender, and equally a good attacking player. Arguably the best we have seen in an Ireland shirt. Would absolutely walk into the current united squad.

[@kencurran8853]

John Giles, Liam Whelan and Liam Brady were better...even RK would admit that.

[@avatarsnow]

Great chat.. I would also disagree with Roy saying it was easy to lead because he had so much talent in the room and on the pitch with him… In many ways it is FAR harder to get great players to follow someone else no matter how great that player may be… because great players all have that ego that drives them to be great, so having to follow someone else, even if they too are great players can be a very difficult pill to swallow… An average leader can lead average to poor players.. but only the truly GREAT leaders can lead great players…

[@sharpvidtube]

I agree, very few great players, also have the skill set to be a great manager.
