Talking tough: That quote and the FA's reaction

KEANE SAGA: That quote and the FA's reaction

"As I slid in to make the challenge my studs caught the turf, I actually heard my cruciate ligament snap. The pain was instant and agonising. Haaland stood over me shouting "Get up, stop faking it." His colleague (David) Wetherall was gesturing to the same effect."

- Keane on his first encounter with Haaland in 1997

"I'd waited long enough. I f***ing hit him hard. The ball was there (I think). Take that you c***. And don't ever stand over me again sneering about fake injuries. Tell your pal (David) Wetherall there's

some for him as well."

- Keane after their second clash in 2001

"The first charge follows the challenge itself on Haaland, which is now alleged to have been improperly motivated, with an apparent element of revenge.

The second charge relates to Roy Keane allegedly publishing for financial profit or reward, an account in his autobiography, in which he speaks of a desire to exact revenge on Haaland, therefore bringing the game into

disrepute."
