Twitter reaction to the Roy Keane press conference

Roy Keane was speaking in Dublin on Thursday afternoon at the official launch of his new book, The Second Half.

Facing the media for the first time since the book leaked on Monday, Keane expanded on his relationship - or lack thereof - with Alex Ferguson, making up with Peter Schmeichel, Fergie's pals in the media and... most importantly... the future of the beard. Check out Twitter's reaction as the press conference took place...

I wish I hadn't taken my eye off the ball with the Irish thing so the chance to get back to playing for my country was fantastic #RoyKeane — Independent Sport (@IndoSport) October 9, 2014

Keane asked if he will ever forgive Alex Ferguson: "Good question. I'm not sure. I will bump into him again I'm sure. Who knows." — Kevin Palmer (@kpsundayworld) October 9, 2014

Keane pointing out (rightly) that the book is generally upbeat and "not all about falling out with people" — Daniel Taylor (@DTguardian) October 9, 2014

 

The essential answer. Keane says he has no plans to get rid of the beard. "It's just me being lazy..." #mufc — ian herbert (@ianherbs) October 9, 2014
