Keane has been involved in a fan confrontation previously during media work. Arsenal supporter Scott Law was handed a three-year footballing ban and a fine after being found guilty of assaulting the former midfielder in the aftermath of a Gunners' win over Manchester United at the Emirates. Sky Sports are not expected to take action against Keane but may boost security for their staff in the wake of the incident.
WHAT HAS BEEN SAID
Finbow has offered a bit more detail on the incident to the Daily Mail: "[Jamie Redknapp] didn't really step in. He was just sort of talking to Roy from behind. I can't remember him coming in and pulling him away. Roy was sort of pointing in this guy's face. There was no security or anything, which I was surprised about. Roy was directing his comments towards the fan who had the big issue because of his kids. There were a few choice words said about that. We were surprised he came over because you've got a lot of ex-players and managers that come down here. They all get stick, but I was as shocked as anybody when Roy came over."
