If you take the trouble to actually look at the clip you will see he spat directly in the location where his victim was.

Wanna name me someone who waits 2 years before they get their own back for something?
I really can't stand the man!
Anyone who will deliberately try to harm another, and for what?
Because 2 years previously Halland shouted at him because he fell in the penalty area.
Keane was in extreme pain and was not faking it, but many players have faked falling in the area to try to get a penalty, I assume he thought that Keane was trying it on.
That's why he was so angry and shouted at him on the ground.
Keane's response 2 years later was to not tackle him but foul him.
He could have had the courage to call him out but no he had to do it on the TV with everyone watching.
Halland went for the ball and got it, but Keane was not aiming at the ball he aimed at the man.
We should call that incident what it was, an unprovoked assault.
It is my belief that the police should have been involved in that incident.
The location was aimed at his victim on the ground.
Did they end peoples careers because someone shouted at them?
If he was a rugby player he would be a warrior, to you he is a thug, to me he was one of the reasons why i enjoyed watching football before he retired.
Niall Quinn thinks we should give Keane the job.
I find the logic hard to understand since he has achieved very little in his managment career to date.

I actually saw this game again recently. Before the shocking tackle from Keane, the 2 of them were literally knocking lumps out of each other. They were both tackling badly and late (with the crowd loving it) and it was a matter of time before someone was badly injured. The were clearly targetting each other. The ref probably should have anticipated it and sent both of them off for earlier fouls.
I am not saying it was self-preservation on Keane's part but these things need to be taken in context.

What he did at Sunderland was impressive but the problem is that players will not be lining up to play for him either at club or international level. I don't think he will ever make it is a manager without a personality transplant.
