      Man Utd legend Roy Keane slammed for ‘hammering everything’ in Sky Sports punditry by Richard Keys and Andy Gray

      by

      ROY KEANE has been slammed by Richard Keys and Andy Gray for “hammering everything” in his punditry. The Manchester United legend has built a reputation for his no-nonsense analysis on Sky Sports and ITV.

      But in a joint interview with the Telegraph, Keys and Gray – who were sacked by Sky in 2011 – criticised pundits for being too harsh.
      Keys said: “Not everything in football is s***. But it is if you watch British television.
      “I’ve had this conversation with (Arsene) Wenger. He said to me, ‘Why do Sky spend £1.1billion on a three-year cycle of broadcast rights and then spend that period destroying it?’
      “He’s right. I don’t understand it either. If Andy or I had offered a scintilla of the same criticism to the modern player, we would have been out on our ear.”

      Keys remembers Keane hitting out at him after the presenter criticised the Irishman’s reign as Ipswich manager in 2008.
      He said: “The guys who are criticising were probably the most sensitive of their time.
      “When he was manager at Ipswich, Roy hammered me. Now here he is on everybody’s wishlist, because he comes along and hammers everything else.”
      Keys and Gray were sacked by Sky for making derogatory and sexist comments about female assistant referee Sian Massey in a leaked tape.

      They now work for Qatar-owned beIN Sports, and Gray claimed he takes a more gentle approach to punditry.
      He said: “We’re too quick to condemn. Rather than battering players, I try to look for reasons why they might be struggling. 
      “Luckily, I had a boss at Sky, Andy Melvin, who taught me: ‘Don’t just criticise, tell me why it’s bad and why it might get better.’
      “Look at how Harry Maguire is being beaten up. And yet Manchester United paid £80million for him. So, he can’t be hopeless. 
      “If I had a bad day on the pitch, I would look at the Sunday papers, see a rating of three out of 10, and that would be it.
      “Now there’ll be memes about you, worldwide.”

      “It was always rumoured that ITV wanted one of the team in the jungle and Jill is a natural choice.”
      Jill presented an award at the NTAs this week and joked that she was skint and had been forced to sell her winner’s medal.

      Man Utd legend Gary Neville confirms he will work as pundit for ITV and beIN Sports at Qatar World Cup

      by

      GARY NEVILLE has confirmed that he will work for ITV and beIN Sports at the Qatar World Cup.The Manchester United legend has vowed to highlight human rights issues while working for Qatari-owned beIN.

      He tweeted: “Yes, I’m going to the World Cup and, yes, working for ITV and Bein. I will highlight those issues I have for years.”
      Neville, 47, was critical of living conditions for World Cup workers during a recent trip to Qatar.
      During the Sky Sports documentary, he said: “It’s a Portakabin with four curtains and two lockers on each side.
      “The wealth in this country and that level of accommodation for people, with the sacrifice they are making… It’s inequality like you wouldn’t believe. It’s staggering.”
      READ MORE ON THE WORLD CUP
      Homosexuality is illegal in Qatar, while women have to seek permission from men to marry, travel and pursue higher education via the male guardianship system.
      Neville’s old pal David Beckham signed a multi-million deal with Qatar to be the face of this year’s World Cup – something the pundit failed to mention while interviewing Golden Balls on The Overlap earlier this year.
      Quizzed why he didn’t mention it during a recent appearance on The Guardian’s Football Weekly podcast, Neville said: “I just wouldn’t ask him about human rights in Qatar.
      “The reality of it is he has a deal with Qatar, he’s comfortable with that. There are other people to be fair in Europe and this country… English players will all go over to the World Cup this summer, the FA will go to the World Cup in Qatar and play in Qatar.

      “If they were that annoyed about it they wouldn’t go. I’ve been to Qatar for the last 10-15 years.
      “I’ve been going to Dubai since 2002, so you could argue in some ways I’m integrated into Middle Eastern society and I like the idea of working in the Middle East myself.
      “I’ll work with Middle Eastern TV companies during the tournament in December and have no problem with that, but still feel comfortable calling out their human rights.
      “I wouldn’t ask David Beckham about human rights in Qatar, I just wouldn’t do that.”
      He then added: “That’s the reality of life. I’m willing to go over and spend money in Abu Dhabi or spend money in Qatar, spend money in the Middle East.
      “Receive money from them for programmes or for what would be television appearances.
      “The reality of it is, I genuinely believe every region in the world has its own c**p, they do.
      “They have their own issues, their own things that they’ve got to deal with.

      “My view would be that I’d rather work in a world where we do continue to deal with these countries and these regions – but what we try and do is soften their approaches on things like human rights and workers’ rights and the LGBT rights – these are issues that need to be addressed and dealt with.
      “Do we do that in the room or do we do that out the room? I’ve always felt we should do that in the room.”

      TV/Live stream: ITV 4

      Thanks and buenas noches!
      There’s usually fireworks when Atletico square off against Real Madrid and tonight was no different.
      Atletico struggled to get back into the game once Valverde doubled Madrid’s lead towards the end of the first half, but Diego Simeone can be proud of the character that his team showed late on.
      The sparks really started flying once Hermoso was introduced in the 72nd minute.
      He wasted little time in putting his stamp on the contest and it was his goal that gave Atletico hope.
      However, Hermoso’s red card towards the end of normal time effectively put an end to the contest.
      Real Madrid were in control of the contest for long periods and limited Atletico to half-chances and shots from distance.
      They were in cruise control for most of the second half and were perhaps unfortunate to concede a freak goal that took some of the shine off the result.
      Atletico will travel to Sevilla after the international break as they look to climb the table.
      Real Madrid will host Osasuna as they look to maintain their perfect record this season.
      Thanks again for joining us for another exciting Madrid derby. Adios!

      Atletico’s uncharacteristic defending
      Diego Simeone’s Atletico teams are famed for their defensive abilities but Madrid’s forward line exposed them time and time again this evening.
      The sheer pace of Rodrygo and Vinicius Jr on the break was just too much for an Atletico team that is still trying to find its feet this season.

      Madrid extend perfect run
      Real Madrid’s victory takes them back to the top spot in La Liga, two points above Barcelona.
      They made it harder for themselves than they perhaps should have done in the end, but they will be happy with their work in what is never an easy game.
      Full-time: Atletico 1 – 2 Real Madrid
      Hermoso’s red card was the final nail in Atletico’s coffin and they were unable to fashion one more chance for themselves in the remaining minutes.
      Stay with us for the post-match reaction to another incident-filled Madrid derby!
      RED CARD! Atletico 1 – 2 Real Madrid – (Hermoso)
      90. Hermoso picks up a second yellow just two minutes after his first.
      He tussles with Dani Ceballos in the penalty area while a corner kick comes in.
      Ceballos makes the most of the contact and goes down, prompting the referee to show Hermoso a second yelklow.
      If Atletico are to snatch a late point, they’ll have to do it with ten men.

      Atletico 1 – 2 Real Madrid – Yellow card (Hermoso) (Carvajal)
      88. It’s getting feisty now!
      Hermoso takes exception to a foul on Reinildo by Carvajal on the half way line.
      The two Spaniards square off and both pick up a yellow card for their troubles.
      Atletico 1 – 2 Real Madrid
      87. That goal has understandably changed the atmosphere in the stadium.
      The crowd can sense that they might just nick a point here and Simeone is riling them up.
      Can they create one more chance?
      GOAL! Atletico 1 – 2 Real Madrid (Hermoso)
      83. Hermoso didn’t know much about it, but he’s just hauled his team back into the game!
      Griezmann sends a corner into the crowded penalty area and Courtois flaps at it.
      The ball travels on to Hermoso and deflects into the goal via his shoulder.
      Game on!

      Atletico 0 – 2 Real Madrid
      80. Toni Kroos has put the ball out of play because Carvajal is laying prone on the pitch.
      Carvajal is claiming an elbow from Kondogbia, but there wasn’t much there in all honesty.
      Atletico 0 – 2 Real Madrid
      79. Atletico are huffing and puffing but still can’t find a way past Courtois.
      Correa the latest player to send a weak shot towards goal that Courtois easily smothers.
      Atletico 0 – 2 Real Madrid
      75. Real Madrid make their first change of the night as Antonio Rudiger comes on for Ferland Mendy who had been booked.
      Atletico 0 – 2 Real Madrid
      76. It’s another double change for the home team as Hermoso and Correa replace Carrasco and Koke.
      Atletico 0 – 2 Real Madrid
      72. Atletico are playing in a 4-4-2 formation since that double substitution, but they still haven’t been able to create an opportunity of note in this second half.
      Simeone is making more changes to his team now.
      Atletico 0 – 2 Real Madrid
      68. Kondogbia has just been surprised at having the ball nicked off him by a tenacious Rodrygo despite the warnings of 68,000 screaming MAN-ON at him.
      Google translate tells me that HOMBRE-EN is the direct Spanish translation.
      Every day’s a school day.
      Atletico 0 – 2 Real Madrid
      64. The cameras have shown Joao Felix trudging his way down the tunnel following his substitution.
      Perhaps he’s picked up an injury, but it’s not a great look when your team are two goals down at home to your rivals.
      Atletico 0 – 2 Real Madrid – Yellow card (Koke)
      63. Koke has his name taken for a cynical foul on Rodrygo.
      Wouldn’t have been out of place in the NFL, that one.
      Atletico 0 – 2 Real Madrid
      62. Simeone makes a double change as Rodrigo de Paul and Joao Felix are replaced by Matheus Cunha and Alvaro Morata.
      Atletico 0 – 2 Real Madrid
      61. Atletico play a short corner and Griezmann plays a dangerous cross into the box but his teammates can’t get on the end of it.
      Time for a change of personnel for Atletico.
      Atletico 0 – 2 Real Madrid
      58. The half-time break hasn’t done much to wake Atletico up from their slumber.
      Real Madrid have won every header and been quicker to every second ball so far.
      Simeone is turning to his substitutes as a way of getting his team back into the contest.

      Atletico 0 – 2 Real Madrid
      56. Griezmann dinks the ball towards the back post, but again the Real Madrid defenders clear the ball without being put under too much pressure.
      Atletico 0 – 2 Real Madrid
      55. de Paul has earned another free-kick in a dangerous position, just outside the Real Madrid penalty area.
      Can Atletico make better use of this one?
      Atletico 0 – 2 Real Madrid
      54. Griezmann’s cross fails to beat the first man and Real Madrid comfortable clear.
      Atletico 0 – 2 Real Madrid
      53. Atletico have a free-kick near the corner flag after good work by Llorente and de Paul on the right wing…
      Atletico 0 – 2 Real Madrid
      50. Real Madrid don’t seem to be missing Casemiro too much.
      They’ve got a ready-made replacement in the shape of Aurelien Tchouameni.
      The 22-year-old Frenchman has dovetailed expertly with the more experienced Modric and Kroos tonight.
      Atletico 0 – 2 Real Madrid
      48. Rodrygo has been a thorn in Atletico’s side all night and he is almost away again after dancing past Llorente near the halfway line, but de Paul comes across to mop up.
