Sky Sports make Roy Keane decision after pundit confronted fan in stands
Roy Keane is set to be back on our screens for Sky Sports' Super Sunday after the broadcaster wrapped up their probe into his fiery exchange with Ipswich Town fans. The 53 year old icon was caught on camera in a heated moment during Sky's live coverage, telling one supporter, "I'll wait for you in the car park... Meet me in the car park."
Following an internal review involving Keane and witnesses like Kelly Cates and fellow pundits Jamie Redknapp and Izzy Christiansen, the Daily Mail reveals that Keane will take his place in the studio as Liverpool clash with Manchester City in a titanic Premier League showdown.
With City trailing by eight points and winless in six, their title defence looks shaky. Keane will join forces with Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher, Daniel Sturridge, and Micah Richards for the analysis.

He made headlines last September when an altercation with a fan at Arsenal's Emirates Stadium led to legal action.
One Ipswich fan involved in last Sunday's incident, 55 year old season ticket Neil Finbow, shared his account with Mirror Football, stating: "It was the guy in the middle's comments that got him, I think. He was going on about his time when he was manager, how he treated his kids."

I thought he was being quite aggressive, in hindsight."
Finbow explained that the fan had a long-standing issue with Keane, stemming from an incident when Keane was at the club. "The guy had an issue, when [Keane] was at the club, when you see him point he was pointing to 'when you were here in the car park, you ignored my kids and swore at them', and he had an issue with that. So obviously that's been pent-up."

He downplayed the incident, comparing it to the Eric Cantona kung-fu kick, saying, "I spoke to my friends this morning and they said it's all gone viral, that's not what I want. I'm not worried about that. But it's not the Eric Cantona kung-fu kick is it."

"That guy got banned for life for throwing some atrocious stuff at Eric Cantona, but those sarcastic comments from myself and the guy who had an issue from years ago about his kids... I think we pay a lot of money to go down there, our hard-earned cash, and I've watched some dross. I think it was just pent-up inside."
