Roy Keane set for court date over alleged road rage incident in Manchester

The timing isn't exactly great from an Irish point of view

Over a month ago it was reported that Roy Keane had gotten into an alleged altercation with a taxi driver in Altrincham, near Manchester. Now it seems that the case is proceeding to court. Here is the statement from Greater Manchester Police: "A summons was posted on March 2, 2015, for Roy Keane, 43, to his home address in Hale, to appear before Trafford magistrates court on March 31, 2015, for a Section 4A Public Order offence. "This is in relation to an incident on Friday, January 30, when police were called to Ashley Road, Altrincham to a report that a man had behaved aggressively towards another man." That date is two days after Ireland play Poland in a crucial Euro 2016 qualifier, but at least it is afterwards, not before.
