Roy Keane Quotes

"Even in the dressing room afterwards, I had no remorse. My attitude was, fuck him. What goes around comes around. He got his just rewards. He fucked me over and my attitude is an eye for an eye."
- Talking about Alf Inge Haaland tackle, Observer Sport Monthly Magazine
 
"Fail to prepare, prepare to fail."
 
"I can look back and think 'I'm just one of the luckiest people in the world'"
On his career
 
"I don't think some of the people who come to Old Trafford can spell football, never mind understand it."
 
"I'd waited long enough. I fucking hit him hard. The ball was there (I think). Take that you cunt. And don't ever stand over me sneering about fake injuries."
- Talking about Alf Inge Haaland tackle, quoted in book Keane - the Autobiography
 
"Sometimes you wonder, do they understand the game of football? They have a few drinks and probably the prawn sandwiches, and they don't realise what's going on out on the pitch."
- On sections of the Old Trafford crowd
 
"I hope I don't come across as bitter and twisted but that man can rot in hell for all I care."
- About Ireland manager Mick McCarthy, Observer Sport Monthly Magazine, Aug 2002
     
“Before the game there was all this stuff about anti-racism and anti-bullying. It would be a good idea to start wearing wristbands for anti-diving.”
 
“Maybe Gary deserves to be chased up a tunnel every now and then - there would be a queue for him, probably. But you have to draw a line eventually.”
 
“There is talk about putting this right in January and bringing players in. We should be doing the opposite - we should be getting rid of people in January.”
 
"Who the fuck do you think you are, having meetings about me? Mick, you're a liar... you're a fucking wanker. I didn't rate you as a player, I don't rate you as a manager, and I don't rate you as a person. You're a fucking wanker and you can stick your World Cup up your arse. The only reason I have any dealings with you is that somehow you are the manager of my country! You can stick it up your bollocks!!!"
Roy Keane (ALLEDGEDLY!!) TO Mick McCarthy May 2002
 
"It seems to be in this club that you have to play badly to be rewarded. Maybe that is what I should do when I come back. Play badly"
Roy Keane 'Plays The Pundit' On MUTV, Nov 2005
 
"He has discovered that, to football clubs, players are just expensive pieces of meat. The harsh realities remain and when a club decide they want to sell there is little you can do once the wheels are in motion."
Roy Keane On Jaap Stam's Abrupt Old Trafford Exit Nov 2005

'If it's not a contract I want then I won't sign it. That's not a threat."
Roy Keane Oct 1999
