ROY KEANE AND Roddy Doyle will be reunited for a special event at the Cork Marquee next summer.
The pair combined for the former Republic of Ireland and Manchester United captain’s second autobiography, The Second Half, in 2014.
Ten years on from that bestselling book, Keane and Doyle will once again share a stage on 7 July, 2025.
Keane has become a more prominent presence on the entertainment circuit having become a cornerstone of the live shows as part of the successful online series The Overlap.
Tickets for the “in conversation” event go on sale this Friday at 9am.
Starting to get a bit boring now with the same old story’s, still haven’t forgiven him for Saipan.
@Der Calnan: will ya stop he was dead right always wanted the best keano.
@Paully kells: yep but maybe should of held his tongue til after the tournament. Wasn’t going to solve it out there.
@Joe Beirne: they didn’t have training kits, they didn’t have balls, they didn’t even have a pitch to train on (well they did but it was a carpark).
Hold his tongue. Who gets anywhere holding their tongue. This would not have been expected with the English, Dutch or Germans, or anyone else at that world cup, but we should hold our tongues. Arse. He was dead right to get frustrated and call it out. Shame on the FAI and shame on the other senior players….aka quinn, Staunton, Kelly, mcateer.
Can’t believe some people still blaming Keane after the shambolic findings of the fai.
@Kevin Dillon: would you walk out on your country in the same way keane did if you had been in the same situation? I know I wouldn’t no matter what the conditions. I love Roy to bits, but imo in this situation he was wrong. Yes the powers that be should’ve been held accountable but not right then and there. Keane was too used to being in the Utd dressing room and had the best of facilities at the time so was used to the best but Ireland neither had the players or the funds to replicate those at international level.
@Greg o loughlin: “Neither had the players nor the funds”? We did have the players. We should have got to the Semis at least. Lost to Spain in round of 16 on pens and alot of people forget that Spain were down to 10 men and McCarthy didn’t even know and played defensively in extra time wanting pens. Iker casillas was man of the match says it all how the match was over 90 mims. As for funds, my sons u13 team as an abundance of balls, kits and coaches. Shouldn’t be any different for our national team.
@Kevin Dillon: 100%
@Kevin Dillon: Nah lad we didn’t have the players, we had the two Keane’s ( one which walked out ) and Ian Harte at top clubs at the time, the rest were great pros at mid to lower level sides at the time. So against the teams you mentioned no we didn’t have the players, no where near
@Kevin Dillon: spot on, well said
@Greg o loughlin: the two Keanes and Ian Harte you say? Matt Hooland was captain of Ipswich who finished 5th in the Prem the year before. Damien Duff was ripping it up at Blackburn and got his move to Chelsea the following year. Likewise Finan got his move.to liverpool a year later. I could go on and on but you clearly have an agenda which is incorrect. We had loads of prem footballers at that world cup. Cunningham, Dunne, McAteer and other few that spring to mind. The two Keanes and Harte he says…..
@Kevin Dillon: Well said Kevin….. that’s typical even though THE FAI were a bunch of crooks led by F/Head Delaney some people still think Roy Keane was wrong…. Roy has got a pair and it’s obvious some people don’t.
Legend Our Keano no one like him, I suppose like Conor Mcgregor and all our top Irish athletes before them who have risen to the top people are very quick to knock them down and pick holes in their careers Is it a Irish thing are just people being envious, I suppose deep down they want to be them…maybe I’m wrong…
Would make a good doorstop
Certain people need to take a hard look at themselves in the mirror and ask the question…. What greats have I achieved in life with dedication and hard work to allow me be so critical of a man who achieved everything from a boy playing football with a dream. I can only but admire Roy Keane what he has done for himself and his family and all the great work he does behind the scenes that we never hear of….
