KEANE: I had a break. My tolerance levels were... people getting on my nerves a bit. RICHARDS: Who? Name names. KEANE: How long have you got?! Fellow pundits.The conversations prove Keane is just your typical Irish lad on a sun holiday. Exercise is either a stroll about, looking at knick-knacks, or going for a swim in the pool. No early morning visits to the gym, unlike English pundits like Richards, Alan Shearer, Danny Murphy and Neville, who have all been keeping on top of matters. "What's that?" Keane asked Richards. "Gym? Honestly!" The late finish of some games has seen the pundits left still going at 1am. That has let to some very late nights out (or early mornings out).
NEVILLE: You get home from the games bout 1:30am, and even if you pop in [to the hotel bar] for one, you're going up at 3am. KEANE: I went to bed early, last night. I think it was about 5am!That line, delivered in that classic dead-pan Roy Keane style, had both Neville and Richards in hysterics. All three of the retired footballers admitted they had not been too brave with trying the local cuisine. Keane was treating Neville to breakfast one morning and it was such a microcosm of so many Irish and English holidaymakers - Weetabix and yoghurt. Nothing too fancy, here. When it came to picking up the bill, Keane had good intentions, until his card was rejected. "It rejected my card. It was over my limit. I've got a budget of £50 a day over here. I texted home - 'Send through another 50 quid'!"
