Roy Keane has spoken openly about what really happened to the Ipswich fan in THAT incident just a few weeks ago.

He 53 years He was working for Sky Sports, where an Ipswich fan was shouting abuse at him after a 1-1 draw in Rubén Amorim's first game.

“People think they can abuse you or whatever, it seems like we're supposed to accept it.

“I approached him twice and said, 'It's okay if you want to abuse me or want to talk to me, but I'm working.'

“I approached him twice! He's obviously saying bad words in front of the kids. I told him if he wanted to see me later, he should come see me in the parking lot.

“I'm going to ask a question, where else was I going to see it? Where else could I see it? The living room? Everyone is asked to leave the ground. I'll see you at McDonald's. I'll meet you in the parking lot.

Keane responded: “I'm not going to offer it. I am 53 years old, have five children and two grandchildren… he was not there.

Simon Jordan's verdict on Roy Keane

Here's what former Crystal Palace owner and talkSPORT presenter Simon Jordan made of the confrontation with Roy Keane at the time…

I mean it's easy to say what people should and shouldn't do unless you're put in that situation, I don't think anyone should offer someone their way out. I think there is a better way to handle it.

Despite that, it doesn't give people the right to say exactly what they want, but intimidation is relative. Some people who boo a goose are intimidated, other people are more robust.

I suspect Roy is on the robust side of things, he probably didn't like being reminded of watching his abject failure at Ipswich while pining over the successes and failures of everyone else, which is his job in television. these days, and with that in mind, I think a balance needs to be struck.

None of us know exactly what was said, and the question is: at what point should an expert be immune to critical observations, and what is considered a critical observation that is beyond the pale?

If Roy Keane decides that someone is criticizing his tenure, because it is clearly an Ipswich Town fan reminding him of the possible abject failure he had at Ipswich Town, and he has clearly taken exception to that.

Obviously, he's the only person who can point out other people's abject failures, so if we now say that's off the table, because it can't be off the table.

They criticize me for the things I say on this radio program. They criticize you as a presenter, as a player, as an owner, as a coach, it's the nature of the beast.

It is the emotional investment that is made in this sport that makes it the biggest sport in the world, which is why five billion people around the world watch it.
