Keane’s Phone Mishap Sparks Laughter Among Football Pundits

Roy Keane is renowned for his strict disciplinary approach both on and off the pitch. However, he found himself in a humorous predicament during the latest episode of The Overlap. His phone rang unexpectedly, interrupting his colleague, Cole, in a moment that triggered laughter and celebration among his fellow pundits.

Former teammate Gary Neville quipped, “The ill-discipline!” as Keane appeared visibly embarrassed by the unfolding situation. Ian Wright expressed disbelief, exclaiming, “If that was anyone else!” Meanwhile, Jamie Carragher eagerly inquired about the identity of the caller. Keane, clearly taken aback, apologized, stating, “My phone is always off. I’m raging with that. My phone is always on silent.” Rooney added to the light-hearted atmosphere with a joke, noting, “And he [Cole] was just saying those older players are so important to learn from!”

Neville reminded Keane of a similar incident during his managerial stint at Ipswich when a phone rang during a press conference. Keane recounted that he eventually discovered who the culprit was. “I did an Ipswich game last year for Sky, and the guy whose phone was ringing came over and apologized. A reporter was looking for me, and I asked him why he didn’t turn it off. He replied, ‘I was nervous. I didn’t know what to do.’ But he did apologize, and I extend my apologies for that incident as well.”

In a cheeky response, Carragher chimed in, “Whoever made that phone call’s gonna get it!”

Keane, Neville, Rooney, and Carragher are familiar faces on television, and they will soon return to analyze the latest developments in the football world following an exciting weekend of Premier League matches. This weekend’s highlight features a top-of-the-table clash at Stamford Bridge where Chelsea will face Arsenal. Additionally, Manchester United aims to secure a victory against Crystal Palace, while Liverpool visits West Ham and Manchester City hosts Leeds United at the Etihad.
