    FAI delete happy birthday tweet to Roy Keane leaving fans all saying the same thing

    THE FAI promptly deleted their happy birthday tweet to former captain and assistant manager Roy Keane after fans were quick to make jibes at the post.Cork native Keane celebrated his 51st birthday yesterday and the FAI, who Keane has had a turbulent relationship with in the past, was among the well-wishers.
    The FAI’s initial tribute to Roy Keane which was promptly deleted.
    The Cork native turned 51 yesterday.
    The FAI updated their celebratory tweet to a more upbeat picture.
    Initially, the FAI Twitter account posted a picture of Keane looking quite dour, alongside the caption: “Happy Birthday Roy Keane.”
    The tweet was quickly deleted as fans compared it to an ‘obituary picture’ and replaced it with a slightly more upbeat picture of Keane during his playing days with the Boys in Green.
    However, they were not fast enough for eagle-eyed users, who were quick to poke fun at the swap.
    One fan who spotted the initial tweet said: “We saw the first one admin.”
    Another added a screenshot of the first post and commented: “He looked happier here.”
    Keane doesn’t seem like the person to be overly fussed with birthday celebrations anyway, and one user channelled the great man himself by saying: “Celebrations a bit over the top but good luck to him.”
    In defence of the admin, and to quote Keane himself – ‘that’s his job.’
    It is highly unlikely that Keane saw the updated tweet, let alone the initial dour version, as the Sky Sports pundit has never graced Twitter with his presence.

    Keane was a regular user of Instagram, which he set up over lockdown in February 2021.
    He quickly amassed over 2.1 million followers on the platform for his characteristically deadpan posts.
    However, without warning, the Mayfield man deleted the account and he recently revealed the reason why.
    He told Off the Ball: “I did it just for a bit of fun with Covid and my youngest daughter was insistent I did it but we did it for a little bit of fun but we’ve moved on. A bit of closure on it.”
    Keane went on to say that he regularly returns with Ireland, with the 51-year-old spotted at Cork GAA and Cork City soccer matches throughout the summer.
    He said: “I definitely get back every three weeks for a few days.
    Keane concluded: “There’s always reasons to get back and I’m very lucky with the work I’ve got a bit of freedom and I can kind of duck and dive and get back to Ireland whenever I please which is quite regular.” More

    The Gypsy King posted the supercar onto his Instagram after confirming he will make a boxing comeback to face Chisora again.
    He twice beat his heavyweight rival – in 2011 and then 2014 – before the pair later went on to enjoy a friendship.
    But lately, the relationship has soured leading to talk of an unlikely trilogy bout between the two.
    According to ESPN, the fight is targeted for December in Wales, where Anthony Joshua has twice headlined.

    And it is claimed Goldstar Promotions – the company that handles Fury’s meet-and-greets across the UK – are behind the offer.
    That is despite Hall of Fame pair Frank Warren and Bob Arum leading the WBC champion’s career in recent years.
    It remains unknown if Fury is still contracted to Arum’s Top Rank stable or Warren’s Queensberry Promotions.
    The Gypsy King and Chisora always maintained they had a verbal agreement in place for a third fight together.

    But after Chisora picked Joshua, 32, and Dillian Whyte, 34, to beat Fury, their friendship was no more.
    It has led to recent back and forth between the two and Chisora, 38, demanded a contract be sent his way.
    He said: “Tyson, stop talking s***e, mate. Phone mummy and daddy – mummy’s Frank Warren, daddy is f***ing Bob Arum.
    “Tell them you want to hang out with me, OK? And send me the paperwork bitch.”
    But Fury, 33, hit back: “I don’t need to speak to anybody.
    “I spoke to your management team, we’re all good. Everything is sorted, looking good. Contract be over or a day or so.
    “Peace out, you’re getting knocked out.”

    The sporty ensemble was bought from Prada and her socks alone cost £140, along with £510 shorts, £705 shoes, and a pricey £1,120 leather jacket.
    The total price came to £2,565 – small change to Ronaldo who reportedly joined the exclusive sports billionaire club, alongside the likes of Tiger Woods, Floyd Mayweather, and Michael Jordan.

    This Burgundy sets punters back £18,000
    Big spending’s no biggie for the couple, but to splurge almost £30k in 15 minutes is a pretty impressive feat.
    Four years ago, they racked up a £27k bill in Mayfair restaurant Scott’s, a regular haunt for celebs and footballers.
    Scott’s apparently does not feature the Burgundy Richebourg Grand Cru wine on the menu as the stock is so low, however, one bottle can cost around £18,000 and is only offered to special guests.
    It was accompanied with a bottle of a 1982 vintage Bordeaux, which reportedly set Cristiano back £9,000.
    The couple were with a group of pals, but apparently only sat at the bar for 15 minutes before leaving – rushing off to see the ATP Finals at the O2 Arena.
    Handbags and gladrags
    Georgina loves to show off her extensive handbag in her Instagram posts, including a £146,000 crocodile Birkin bag she took for a dinner in Porto.

    Even when the stylish mum is travelling she still has her handbags to hand – snapping herself on a plane sporting both a £625 Prada and a £48,000 Burkin.
    Cristiano clearly knows the way to Georgina’s heart, as he was spotted designer handbag shopping when things were heating up between the pair.
