Nottingham Forest legend Roy Keane and fellow pundit Graeme Souness were involved in a furious on-air bust up today (Nov 22). The pair fell out over whether a penalty was given correctly. Football fans were probably not all that surprised that the famously combative duo came to verbal blows while on the same ITV show since both can be very trenchant in their opinions.
The flashpoint came when they were discussing whether Argentina should have been awarded a penalty during their 2-1 surprise loss against Saudi Arabia. In the studio at half time the two were at odds over the penalty given on VAR - with Souness saying that under the rules of the game it was a fair decision, the Mirror reports.
Roy, though, disagreed and blasted it as soft claiming there would be a 'record number of penalties if many more like it were given'. The argument then blew up with fellow ex pro Joe Cole looking distinctly uneasy.
