The Manchester United icon then made an extreme call that they should have their tyres “slashed” as a consequence of their actions.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLHe said: “People that have a few quid and just park wherever they want – double yellow lines or disabled bays – and just take the ticket off because they can pay that. “It’s rude – we should slash their tyres. It’s so rude, parking where they want – it’s arrogant.”‘I’ve got a nice car, I’ve got a few quid, I’ll park where I want in a disabled space’. They just walk away, they get the ticket [and pay it].”Wright agreed that doing something drastic such as that or keying the car could deter such behaviour in the future.Most read in FootballBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSHowever, Keane had a slightly different solution, which he suggested he had done already.He added: “Do you know what would be good, if you could break their wipers.Grumpy Roy Keane reveals he HATES shaking hands as Gary Neville ‘reveals his bizarre nickname for himself’mp4″Do I pull the wipers up? Yeah but I don’t break them I just pull it out.”Not off but enough so that when they get into the car they have to get out and fix them.”Neville said he now had a vision of Keane walking around Cheshire village pulling up window screen wipers, to which Keane declared: “That’s exactly what I do.”Especially the one at the back so when they get in the car [they have to go fix it]. Everything you need to know about parking “Or if they park really bad you put their wing mirrors on the other side so when they get in they have to get out and fix the wing mirror.”As well as bad parkers, Keane also opened up on his issue with handshaking, fist bumping and hugging.This prickly response led to Neville joking that Keane’s nickname for himself was “hedgehog”.READ MORE SUN STORIESKeane’s suggestions also included footballers wearing socks above their knees, with holes in the socks or with one side of their shorts rolled up – something he called out England star Declan Rice for.His final addition was footballers coming off the pitch and high-fiving everyone on the bench, with Keane saying he would be too annoyed to do that.Roy Keane’s angriest momentsWhat really ticks off Roy Keane?The Irishman is known for his no-nonsense approach to football.And some particular things really do get on Keane’s wick.It all makes for great entertainment for fans, who love the Man United legend’s take on the beautiful game.But is Keane being a bit too sensitive himself?From smiling players to ABBA, nothing is sacred.And we all know about his dislike for a prawn sarnie…Here are the things that really make Roy Keane angry.

      AN ENGLAND fan has revealed his disappointment after Serbian football fans stole a flag which he had for 20 years.
      Matt Barnes, 42, and his 13-year-old son Harry travelled from their Eastbourne home to Germany to watch England play in the Euros 2024, bringing with them the 14ft St George’s Cross banner.
      The £500 flag, which he has had since the Euro 2004 competition, has been with Matt all over the world, and in just about every football stadium in Britain.
      As England battled Serbia on June 16, Matt’s banner, featuring a Millwall lion, a Three Lions logo, and the words “Millwall: No one likes us”, was pride of place pitchside.
      But when Matt, who works for Mercedez Benz and was born in Lewisham, walked down the steps to collect the banner at the final whistle, he was horrified to find it had gone missing.
      To make matters worse, he saw the very same flag in a boastful social media post, being held upside-down in triumph by people believed to be Serbia fans who pocketed it.
      Matt told The Sun: “For some people it’s a flag, but for me it’s a sentimental thing for doing 20 years of football with my dad.”
      He said that his elderly dad Brian is no longer able to travel with him, so the sentimental value of the flag had considerable, because it reminded him of the times they spent together as father and son.
      Matt had been purposefuly attending as many games as he could over four years to build up enough points to go to the Euros – the first tournament he and his own son went to together.
      He said: “It was supposed to be a really good experience and just to have that bit done at the end…”
      Matt claimed he had “next to no help from German police”.

      TYSON Fury is transforming a rundown car park into a luxury “Grand Designs” mansion with a swimming pool, hot tub and cinema.The heavyweight world champion, 35, has applied for planning permission to replace the site with a lavish modern home.Tyson Fury celebrating victory following his knockout of Dillian Whyte at Wembley Stadium in April 2022Credit: GettyFury plans to turn the site into a luxury homeCredit: Cheshire East CouncilPlans for the lavish property include a swimming pool and hot tubCredit: Cheshire East CouncilThe site has become a dumping ground for used carsCredit: Cheshire East CouncilCurrently, the property’s estate in Cheshire’s “Golden Triangle” – popular with celebs and footballers – is overgrown.It includes a grim-coloured pond and has become a dumping ground for used cars. Next door, land owned by the Fury family had been used as an airport car park.Now the boxer wants to demolish the main eight-bedroom dwelling to replace it with a six-bed house complete with a swimming pool, sauna, jacuzzi and cinema.Read more sportFury is asking to add a two-metre high security fence around the perimeter.But Cheshire East Council’s heritage and design team consider the proposal to be a potential blight on the landscape.The council is also unhappy that the Gypsy King wants to chop down so many trees.It voiced concerns in an email, saying: “The loss of trees and tree groups along the western boundary is of concern, particularly as more trees and tree groups appear to be marked for removal on the landscaping drawing than are stated in the arboricultural impact assessment.”Most read in BoxingThe email adds: “The proposed boundary treatments include two-metre high walling and fences to all boundaries. “If there is a particular need for security, the height and dominance of these features in the locality might be understandable but, to retain rural landscape character, these tall blank barriers should be softened.”Tyson Fury shows off his air guitar skills to AC/DC and sings Mr Brightside as son Prince holds up WBC belt at open media workout ahead of Usyk boutSolutions include changing the proposed site’s layout to save trees, or planting new ones, while the security fence could be hidden by an external hedge row.Previously, Fury’s plans had hit the skids after bats were found roosting in a loft and then he was told birds flocking to his pond or fruit trees maybe a hazard to nearby jets.Local councillor Chris Hilliard has approved of the plans and hope it improves the property and area, which has been blighted by the car parking issue.He says: “Styal has been affected by several issues over the years. One of those issues is exceptionally apparent on this property and Moss Lane as a whole.”What were family properties or small industrious businesses have become car parking for the airport. “Many of this type of establishment have a very dubious reputation, with damage to vehicles, proprietors taking vehicles into local towns and leaving them for weeks, and a disregard for the local community.”It is obvious that this site is badly in need of redevelopment, and the property as drawn would be a large improvement over the current property on this plot.Tyson Fury’s life outside of boxingA WORLD heavyweight champion inside the ring, Tyson Fury also has a colourful life away from his mega fights.
      The hit Netflix show At Home With The Furys gave an insight into his day-to-day activities away from boxing.
      The Gypsy King is believed to have punched his way to a career haul of nearly £200million.
      Fury and his seven kids currently reside in a plush house worth a whopping £1.7m.
      He swapped his £550,000 home that overlooked Morecambe Bay for the mansion located in the same area.
      Wife Paris, 34, often gives us a glimpse into her fab property by sharing snaps on Instagram.
      The home featured heavily in the Netflix show At Home with the Furys, which offered fans a glimpse inside the chaotic and full-on life of Britain’s top heavyweight boxer.
      Season one offered a glimpse into his fight preparations ahead of a showdown with Derek Chisora in December 2022.
      And Fury also has an absolute monster collection of motors he has been seen behind the wheel of.
      Most recently, he added a stunning customised Porsche GT3 RS worth over £200,000 to his car collection.
      He is also said to own several Rolex watches, flashing a £60,000 diamond-laden 18ct timepiece from the brand as he prepared for his fight with Whyte.

      “The plans would allow for the improvement of the landscape, a potential increase in biodiversity, and the removal of invasive species.”In December, Fury and his two brothers John Jr and Shane landed in hot water with the courts for renting out a car park on their land.Dad John was at Chester Magistrates’ Court to defend his sons.He said he had signed a lease agreement with a valet company and they had done nothing wrong by failing to cough up £82,166 to the council for a car park, which adjoins his house in Styal.The court also heard he handed ownership of the land to his sons – who are worth over £134 million – following a “fight with the wife 20 years ago”.John Sr said: “I didn’t even have to be here but I’ve come here today to tell you the boys have nothing to do with anything of it, especially Tyson.“It’s ridiculous when you’re paying millions of pounds in taxes. He hasn’t lived at that address for 18 years.“All I’ve done is rent a piece of land out. I have no understanding of any kind of business or what they do.
