[Mortimer's Bear]

Welcome to the club Roy.

1. For every failing he has, the man can grow quality beards, for which he should be given a chance.

As the wearer of a similar coloured, blackish greying beard, I have to say, that's a magnificent specimen he's sporting on the photos today.

Maximum respect.

You have a beard? No, no, no. My mental picture of you won't accept a hirsute chin.

[Californian Villain]

Have to own up to having always had an admiration for Roy Keane. If he'd ever played for Villa, we'd have all loved him. I'll be well happy if the team can benefit while he rebuilds his reputation. If nothing else, it's an imaginative appointment from PL and it's not often that you can say that.

[peter w]

I have to admit that I've always wanted him to do well as a manager because I too have always liked his footballing style.

If this exercise lasts longer than 6 months I will be amazed .

I'm like Roy Keane.

Except with significantly less hair, more flab, taller and with a worse temper.

Me too, but hey ho, he's hear now, here's hoping we're both wrong.

A good beard saves many indiscretions. I grow anything more than 2 days and it goes worryingly ginger. As I am not ginger haired, this perplexes me and has me going for the razor immediately. I would love a god beard, but will sadly never have a good un. The big wire like copper eyebrows that have been springing out in the last few months are very disconcerting.

Mrs Exeter saw a bit of Keane at the press conference and said the beard made him look like he'd been living ferrally on Bodymoor Heath for the last two months

Seconded.

Can't believe I wrote "hear" now rather than "here".

Stick with it. As you get older, you'll pass through the ginger phase and go straight to grey.

Sad, but true.

Having watched his interview on AVTV I can only say what a pleasure that twat Woodwank was nowhere to be seen ! :-)
