Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane expressed strong disapproval of the attention given to Bruno Fernandes' pursuit of a Premier League assists record during a recent match. The comments came after Fernandes equalled the mark of 20 assists in a 3-2 victory over Nottingham Forest. Keane described the emphasis on individual statistics as a distraction from team performance.

The film Saipan, depicting Roy Keane's infamous row with manager Mick McCarthy during the 2002 World Cup, has become a hit in Ireland and is now opening in the UK. Screenwriter Paul Fraser aimed to create a story focused on human drama rather than on-field action, avoiding common pitfalls of football movies. The production emphasizes themes of masculinity and Irish identity from the Celtic Tiger era.
