We wonder what his first tweet might be?
Irish assistant manager Roy Keane gave an interview to Four-Four-Two recently which was as explosive as we’ve come to expect from the Corkman.
As well as some ‘colourful’ words for certain Manchester United fans he didn’t rule out joining Twitter either so with this in mind we’ve decided to draw up a list of accounts that we think Keane should follow.
Rockmount Boys
Rockmount is the club where it all began for the former Irish skipper and he will probably have a keen eye on future Roy Keanes too. He might also want to check that the balls, bibs and training facilities are still up to scratch.

Cobh Ramblers
Keane has been prone to take in a League of Ireland match when he returns to these shores and he has a lot of spare time on his hands now he’s left Villa. Who knows, maybe he’ll become an ultra at St Colman’s Park?

Brian Clough Quotes
JOE still misses the supremely gifted and charismatic Brian Clough but we imagine that the feeling is 100 times greater for Keane and any players who played under Cloughie. Even when he punched Roy in the stomach it was done out of love… apparently. Keane still regards Old Big ‘Ead as the best manager that he ever played under.
I wouldn’t say I was the best manager in the business… pic.twitter.com/u8nnVawBXL — Brian Clough (@LegendClough) September 20, 2014
The FA
Since the referees’ union, Professional Game Match Officials Limited, isn’t on Twitter we’re fairly certain that Keane will need some account to send DM’s to demanding the whereabouts of David Ellery. As well as that, they usually post about any new job openings.

Alfe Inge Haaland
You have to follow your best friend on Twitter. There would be endless craic between these two.
Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind
A project that’s very close to Keane’s heart and one for which he isn’t given enough credit for.

FAI
You have to keep your employers happy because if you don’t then things will get weird around the water cooler. Plus, everything seems cool with these two now. Ah, the Genesis report…

ITV/Lee Dixon/Adrian Chiles/Gareth Southgate
They need to know who the boss is on this panel and any tweet sent by any of the aforementioned accounts will immediately be shot down with, “What are ya sayyying that for. Nonsense”. By the way, fair play to Lee Dixon for actually retweeting this…
gonna go clubbing tonight, need to get rid of these 2 clingers tho, boring twats @LeeDixon2 pic.twitter.com/wfmm1ICJ0Z

Prawn Sandwiches or anything prawn-related
Even Roy Keane eats prawns but we assume that he stares at them until they voluntarily jump out of the water and drown themselves.

Jack Grealish
He tried to talk him into playing for Ireland nicely, but now that he has left Villa it’s time to unleash some angry tweets, Keano-style. Cue Jack Grealish deleting his profile after sending one final tweet consisting only of shamrock emojis.

Gary Neville
Keane still has to stand up for him against bullies like Patrick Viera and tell him how to have a go at referees.

Censor me, CENSOR ME!
.@juanmata8 has just been asked by #MUTV if the second goal is his or @marcosrojo5's. "I don't know!" he joked. "I have to check on TV.”

Gerard Pique
The Barcelona defender has openly admitted that Keane still scares the living shit out of him so maybe he will see a softer side of Keane on Twitter. Plus, we reckon Shakira and Roy would hit it off.

Jason McAteer
The Irish assistant manager isn’t shy when it comes to writing books, while we know that Jason McAteer (that’s SportsJOE’s own Jason McAteer, we should say) is the best literary critic there is. We wonder what Keane would say to this tweet? Shove it up your boll**ks would be a decent shout.
Yes @glen_johnson get in you beauty !!!!

A good barber
Now that he has some extra free-time on his hands, we really hope that Roy spends it in a darkened room screaming at the walls whilst growing his beard. He will probably have to get it cut at some point though so we recommend these guys.

We hear that the Japanese island is lovely during the summer months and it has some top-notch facilities.

A decent travel agency
Keane seems to be a hard man to pin down so he would probably need to know where his next journey will be. Our money is on…

Robbie Savage
We would like to think that the two lads would spend their spare time together recreating that famous Budweiser advert…

Who else will keep Roy up to date with all that he needs to know? Please don’t avert your death-stare to us Roy, it’s only a joke like at the end of the daaaaaaaay.
