He almost just needed someone to acknowledge this is really bad.

I'm going to get you to Japan in a couple of days and this mess will be behind us.

Whereas you couldn't have portrayed Mick in a way that would have made him more unable to manage the situation.

You know, like it didn't... If you're Coogan and you read the script, I can see why he read it that way.

The most egregious for me, and it just seems so stupid, actually, the most egregious tilting of the scales in Roy Keane's favour is that, you know, and what's annoying about this is like everybody knows this is the way it went.

So they haven't just kind of...

you know, fictionalized kind of a lesser known aspect of the story.

They have fictionalized like a core part of the story, which is on the Wednesday, Roy Keane, like infamously, like it's so famous, infamously sat down with Tom Humphreys and sat down with Paul Kimmich on the Wednesday.

And on the Thursday, the Tom Humphreys interview is published in the Irish Times.

And that's the interview that Roy Keane or that Mick McCarthy pulls from his pocket in the meeting.

Everybody knows that.

That's like Pan kind of 101 moment.

And in the movie, for no reason, there is a female reporter who's, you know, I guess conglomerate of, she's just the media at large.

Okay, so she, like everything about this is just so like, it just, it rings, it rings false.

So, you know, they're in the hotel, sharing the hotel and she comes up to Roy Keane and is like,

sorry about that lot.

You know, as in all the other... Knuckleheads.

The knuckleheads.

Sorry about that lot.

Want to talk about it?
