Roy Keane assaulted

[duncanidaho]

I'd be more worried about Micah Richards in a scuffle than Roy Keane.

42 year old Arsenal fan arrested. 

 

What on earth goes through someone's mind to do that? 

 

And yes, a brave man/idiot does that in front of Micah Richards. Bloke is built like an absolute tank. 

[owls maniac]

Absolute coked up morons thinking they can have a pop at a footballer and be a star. 
 

Sad fool.

The bloke who did this has a pricey hospitality ticket. Money don't buy class.

Didn't Keane do some boxing in his early years, is fairly fit, and has the temperament of bull terrier.  Micah should have let him go

Allegedly headbutted Keane

I like Roy Keane. Not sure why. I loved his "baby" rant last season.

This is what makes me laugh about people having a pop at footballers.

 

Footballers start proper fitness training in their early teens then spend the entirety of their 20's and bulk of their 30's living their lives to be at peak physical fitness as a professional requirement (despite how Sheffield Wednesday often appear). In terms of stuff like core strength they are built like tree trunks.

 

Bit of marching powder and a couple of hours per week at Pure Gym isn't going to cut it. I'm sure we've all fantasised about walloping certain players from time to time but the reality is most of us would get absolutely leathered. Keane specifically looks like he's kept himself in decent fettle since retiring.

I like Micah Richards seems a good lad and yes i wouldn't want to mess with him but then again I wouldn't want to mess with anyone, 57 blood pressure and an hernia

Very true. 

 

Lot of guys who workout are doing it more for show than anything else. 

 

Look at a guy like Mo Salah. He's probably got 1 percent bodyfat, lean as anything, and yet he is freakishly strong. Never gets knocked off the ball despite not being the biggest guy on the planet. 

 

As for Roy Keane, he might be in his 50s now, but I certainly wouldn't fancy getting into a kerfuffle with him.

Decent bodyguard

Body and muscle mass and ‘looking like they’ve kept themselves fit’ makes for nothing in a street fight.
