ROY KEANE HAS branded Jose Mourinho’s habit of shaking hands with opposing managers before the final whistle “disgraceful”.
Aston Villa assistant Keane was captured on camera looking unimpressed when Chelsea manager Mourinho approached him and boss Paul Lambert shortly before the end of their team’s 3-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge last month.
Mourinho – no stranger to mind games with other managers - regularly looks to conclude post-match formalities with his opposite number prior to the final whistle, and often heads down the tunnel while the game is still going on.
And, speaking at the launch of his new book in Dublin yesterday, Keane labelled the Portuguese’s actions ”disgraceful.”
“I don’t mind all that [Mourinho's mind games] but the game is still going on,” said the former Manchester United captain.
“It’s disgraceful. I’ve seen him doing it to other managers – it is a disgrace. The game is still going on.
You wouldn’t do that on a Sunday morning, you would get knocked out.
When questioned further on whether he perceived Mourinho to be disrespectful and arrogant, Keane added: “What do you think? That’s a stupid question.”
Corofin were on a different level today but it was still head scratching result and performance from Clann naGael, especially when you consider Brigids brought Corofin with both Burkes playing to extra time last year.
That Clann player didn’t deserve a red.
@Eamonn Ó Maoldomhnaigh: ah come off it, surely had to be red, he lost the plot and knew it himself, didn’t even complain.
@mike Kennedy: I was waiting for you!
He should have got 3 reds!
@mike Kennedy: Amazed that 8 people ( assuming they are people) agreed with me!
@Eamonn Ó Maoldomhnaigh: he should have been sent off in the country final as well.
@Eamonn Ó Maoldomhnaigh: you got me Good, hook line and sinker!!!! aaaaahh
