I think you'll find it's Roy Keane who has a tendancy to jump in with both feet.

Well, good luck proving that in court. *chuckle chuckle*
Chuckle all you like but it's hardly an uncommon occurrence, a recent example being David Beckham breaking a bone in the other foot to the one taken out from under him in the Champions League game against Deportivo.

You ManU fans are sticking up for a thug...think about it.
Ask yourself..."if he was wearing any other jersey, would I be saying this right now??".
Me thinks you wouldn't be.
Wake up.
ask yourself that same question too. if he was wearing anything OTHER than a Utd shirt would he be subject to all this negative attention?
Methinks he wouldn't be.
for a lot of people out there - and I'm not saying you're one of them - though you may be :)
he's damned if he does, damned if he doesn't - cos of their own ABU bias.

This is pure fantasy. If he played for anybody else, he would be called what he is, a less ugly and more skilled Vinnie Jones.
On the other hand, I am not going to hold my breath waiting for ManUre fans to villify him the way they did that Spaniard who fouled Beckham.

Here are the only known facts.
1)Keane fouled the fella awhile back, quite viciously.
2)His playing time has been almost zero exactly since then.
3)Keane admits a few years later that he did it on purpose.
Based on those facts, I would say YES, an investigation and/or legal proceedings wouldn't seem so outrageous.

Roy Keane is a world class player, he shouldn't have done what he did.
The knee that is keeping haaland out is the other one that roy hit and he had an injury on that knee which is keeping him out and he played on regardless that he was doing himself damage.
And for the fact that city are suing because they didn't have him for the last two games of the season - which apparently meant that city went down cos of haaland not playing is stupid, two games = max 6 points. City went down by 8. :OP

They're not suing over 2 games, they're suing over 15 months, which is how long Haaland has been out. He's suing because his career is probably over.
Where did you get the 2 games thing?

they are suing cos they went down from the prem costing them 20million apparently - city claim that if they had haaland for the last two games they wouldn't have gone down. Numberous paper reports have said this.
Haaland should fail in his attempt to sue keane - its the other bloody knee which he was playing with it injuryed anyway.

Look, I am a humble supporter of Arsenal and my beloved DC United of the MLS here in the states. I know first hand that when a player is seriously injured by a tackle the fans and club suffer.
When we here at United loaned Ben Olsen to the Notts, he wreaked havoc. He was whipping some serious a$$ and getting close to signing on to play in the EPL.
Then, in my own opinion, he was the victim of a brutal tackle that has taken years to recover from. If Keean is that much of a braggart that he will admit to playing dirty pool.... Nail him to the cross.
But, as I well know, Man U will pony up the bucks to bail him out.
