VINE: Roy Keane still maintains that Marc Overmars dived in 1999 semi-final

We expected fireworks when Roy Keane was placed in the BBC studios alongside Alan Shearer and Ian Wright.

But we got a fairly subdued Keano for the majority of the half-time chatter for Manchester United's FA Cup tie with Arsenal. That was until the Corkman's sense of humour came out after the production crew played a clip of the famous FA semi-final replay in 1999 between the two sides. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5rifnzGDQI Roy Keane received a second yellow card that day when he hacked down Marc Overmars in what was a famous foul. But he wryly claimed that the Dutchman dived after he saw the footage again this evening. He's not a man whose views can be changed too readily. Nobody in the studio seemed too keen on arguing with him.
