Not only did he play a blinder today, but his getting Keane sent off and possibley costing him his career was hilarious. All through the match Trigger was winding Keane up, he kept breathing down his neck and after one incident they got into a bit of handbags Jayo clearly shouted "*************** off" whole Keane was held back by the ref, then made a gesture like he was writng a book. This went on all match and eventually Keane smashed him in the face in the 92nd minute, exactly what Jayo was after. He got the sending off he deserved, Jason was fine after it and this could lead to a hefty ban and maybe his career. Good on you trigger! Niall Quinn went over and gave Keane loads as he was walking off too, absolutley hilarious and it couldn't happen to a nicer bloke.

Why would he want him sent off in the 92nd minute? Seems kinda pointless.

[Slash/ED]

He wanted to get Keane back to what happend during the summer, the suspension of the sending off and the timeing of it if what he was after.

While I don't disagree with everything you said, I think it's a little over the top to say his career might be over, or that Jason was seeking revenge for the summer. Then again, I haven't seen it yet.

[Slash/ED]

Aye, I was over exaggerating it, but it may land him a hefty ban is what I meant.

Keano has lost his marbles.
He even picked a fight with his own team-mate Phil neville after Phil mis-timed a challenge.
I reckon the book is big ,big mistake because from now on he wont be able to fart without picking up a booking or a red card .
He should've waited until after his career was over before writing a book .He will have to face some of these people he insulted out on the pitch someday .

He only acts like a hardman out on the pitch because he knows that someone will step in and break it up .off the pitch he cant even walk into a pub without a minder because there are loads of people lining up to knock him out .

McAteer is a clown.
Like yerself.

May I add my name to the chorus of appreciation for our Jayo.
And, I read in the papers yesterday that Quinner's trek over to Roy as he left the pitch was an ironic gesture, designed to rub it in.
If that was the case, may I also air my appreciation for Niall's work.
Keep on winding him up lads, only a matter of time until he resigns again.

i was a HUGE roy keane supporter up until his antics in saipan. I don't agree whith what he did or in the manner that he conducted himself but i'm disgusted with the way macateer behaved during the match. jason will never be fit to tie the guy's boots (isn't this the same person who wanted to 'do a keane' during the w.c. 'cause he couldn't get a game?).

i only saw highlights of the incident in the pub but sincerely hope that quinn wasn't rubbing it in - i always thought he was a bigger person than that.

I didn't get involved much in the whole Keano debate before now because (a) it just became a slanging match and (b) most of the sensible posters were making the points I would have anyway. On this latest instalment I'll just add a couple of things.
McAteer wasn't winding him up all game as has been suggested. Before the 'tangle' incident there had been nothing. Of course McAteer was going to fight to win the ball back once he lost control of it. He was not going to allow himself be outfought for possession. (Every one of us would fight harder if we were up against our perceived rival). McAteer should have been booked for his clumsy challange, but no more than that, Keane himself has committed many such foul challanges in his career. Keane responded with a typical foul-mouthed attack and gesticulations, McAteer stood up to it unflinchingly, and gave him some back. Keane then used a hand sinal to suggest Macca was all mouth. It was only then that Macca responded with his hilarious 'pen & paper' motion. Keane obviously didn't like it and once again decided he was going 'to get him' at that point. There were no further exchanges until Keane elbowed McAteer 20 minutes later and rightly got sent off.
He has learned nothing, he is full of anger and bitterness, he is a liablity to his team and himself. We are far better off without this destructive influence in our international team.
McAteer didn't do a whole lot wrong. Mainly he stood up to Keane's on-field hardman persona. He didn't spend the whole game winding Keane up, but he did win the psychological battle. Any man who can lose a mind game against our Trigger deserves to be sent off!
