It was exactly as you'd expect. Keane's cheer-leader in chief massaged the Corkman's ego, while basically rehashing everything he'd said in his book. Dunphy did not ask one probing question, didn't pull Keane up on any of his hypocrasy and it was basically just another exercise in Dunphy boosting Keane's PR image.

Dunphy is not good enough or brave enough to ask the questions that need asking and I for one will be surprised if he gets another series. Anyone that licks the arse off people like Ben Dunne and Alistar Campbell, has no place hosting a talk show.

I still wouldn't mind watching it though. I already read the book.

it was a sham of a mockery as dunphy would say himself,ridiculusly un-probing and pure regurgitation of the autobiography, which dunphy seemed to kno more about than keano.
think the reason dunphy took the ad break half way thru was so he could change his boxers,maybe he was that excited.
was looking forward to perhaps hearing keanes views on the premiership rape stories and perhaps the rio ferdinand drugs story,instead we were treated to year old "news" and ego-enhancing bull--give us a break roy,crowd was obviously the dublin branch of the man utd/ricki lake show fan club who shouted and cheered every remark by "mayfields finest"

Very Good interview. Great host and great world class soccer player.

I watched it and thought it was a complete joke! As others have said in this thread already, Dunphy didnt ask any interesting questions at all. He basically licked his ass for the entire show. One funny moment for me was when he read out texts that viewers had sent in ... and of course he only read out the ones that supported Keane. I'm sure they were just as much (if not more) that had expressed quite a different view on the man that walked out on his country.

The sadest thing of all for me was that when the real Irish footballers were preparing for a huge game in Switzerland, one of the greatest players we've ever produced was sprawled over a couch basking in his own ego.

That's exactly what is missing from his show. Who the hell is he that he claims to attract the more upmarket, higher educated classes with his show and then performing an arse-licking scene over and over again :mad:

Don't get me wrong, I quite liked ED (that is until the RK affaire took a lot of that away)

Then again it is maybe cos he is so easy on his guests that he gets good ones that feel it is a very easy way to promote themselves (and their books, films, organisations, etc)

Keane was Funny! I hope you mean in some sort of ironic way. I couldn't believe how happy he was to trawl up his bitterness on the eve of the most important game the Ireland team had since the World Cup finals. He came across as a sneering, petty & small minded man, delighting in having his ego, and God knows what else, stroked by Dunphy. As was said above, anyone can be comfortable & laid back in an interview where there isn't one difficult question to answer and no challenge to your view and/or account mounted - ask Gerry Adams & Robert Fisk.
He offered nothing new, spoke nothing about the current issues the game is facing and seemed content to once more be a vessel for Dunphy's vitriol against Mick, Jack & the FAI.
The part where he told of lambasting Mick, the captain of the national team at the time, at the World Cup in 1994, for telling him off about being late for the team bus, did make me laugh though. "He was just a player, I wasn't going to take that from him" he told us. Can you imagine Keane sitting on the Man Utd team bus after a Champions League away trip to Kiev or somewhere, ready to go home to his dog & family, but having to wait because Fletcher & O'Shea have gone on the batter! I think as captain, and as Roy Keane, he might feel justified in explaning that this behaviour is unacceptable!
I love the way he assumes he is just going to walk into a top club as manager and be successful, without any of the lower league grooming that Martin O'Neill etc got. Maybe he was told he is in line to take over from old whisky nose, but the arrogance of him just expecting to be a huge success, typical of the man.
He played very well against Rangers the other night though.

Roy keane-world class player
he brilliantly exposed all the evils of the fai and mick mac carthy. i agree he was no saint but he was less in the wrong than mccarhty/fai. people think he walked out but he was sent home just for using language to poor old mick

FAI-sleezy corrupt organisation. their prepations for irish international matches were a joke. before netherlands vs ireland match in 2000 the only nutrition they could provide for the players 24 hours before an important match was cheese sandwiches. they persisntley put their officials above their players. on the way to WC 2002 the officals and mickmcarthy travelled first class whilst the players travelled economy class. In saipan the pitch was as hard as a rock their were no footballs isotonic drinks or dehydration tablets upon arrival to the island.

Mick mc carthy-Average manager. he and roy keane had a bust up over the lack of training facitlies. after the two agreed to bury the hatchet he kept the pot boiling. when roy keane was in the players lounge of the hotel mccarthy came in and out of the blue he blatantly accuses roykeane of disloyalty to his country and of faking an injury. roy keane could no longer keep his cool and like any normal human being would he lashed out verbally at mccarthy.
