Ahead of that Czech Republic game, England manager Gareth Southgate bemoaned the fact that both players may now miss two games [including their Last 16 fixture] after speaking with Gilmour for a couple of minutes longer than is permitted under the regulations. When it was noted that the players breached the regulations by doing so, Southgate softened his cough.
Up in the ITV gantry, Roy Keane gave his thoughts on the matter, and he was the only one of the three-man panel [with Gary Neville and Ian Wright] to make a salient point on the actions of both players. He commented:
"The only thing I'd be critical of is, why would you want to speak to an opposition player - I don't care if he's a teammate or not - for over 20 minutes? I very rarely speak to anyone for more than five minutes! "Especially after a game when you've been to war against somebody, why you'd want to chat to them for that long? They could have used more common sense."Perhaps encouraging by the titters of Neville and the giggles of Wright, Pougatch went for broke.
"I hope your wife gets more than five minute chat with you?" he asked. Everyone waited. Keane let it sit there for a moment, mulling it. Eventually, a deadpan... "Never."That was enough. Wright was slapping his knees, and loving every moment. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/1407443320310276101 When it comes to tackles and comedy, Roy Keane always has his timing down.
