We've been very curious about how Roy Keane is coping with the lockdown. There's so many questions. How is he filling his days? What books is he reading? How is he keeping in mind occupied? Who is he giving out to? Has he grown the beard back?

Keane returned to the public eye this morning to appear on the Sky Football show with Jamie Carragher, Gary Neville and Dave Jones and Keane was his ever-prickly self.

Jones made the rookie mistake of trying to make small talk with Roy Keane about his beard and he received a death stare that singed him from 200 miles away.

'Who manages the beard?' he foolishly asked. Corkonian daggers were soon dispatched.

You'd think Jones would know better by now.

The beard, by the way, looks majestic. It's also interesting to see Roy wearing the sharp cordless earphones from Apple. Compared to Neville and Carragher, Keane is an example to all of us looking to remain debonair through the plague.

Keane also says he wouldn't be taking a pay cut if he was a member of one of the Premier League's super-rich clubs.
