YOUSE ARE ALL F***ING IDIOTS

Fergie's message is "stick your ban" as Keane wasn't due back until November anyway. From the MEN:

"Roy is coming along great in his fitness. He is doing remedial work in the gym at the moment and we are hoping that in two weeks' time he will be back in football training and then he'll work towards a match comeback.

"We were aiming for him to return for definite against Liverpool on December 1 but depending whether we appeal he will now be unavailable for that game at Anfield. There is a possibility that we could ease him back against Bayer Leverkusen at Old Trafford.

"If we have qualified for the second group stage by that final match of the first phase then it would be a nice way of easing him back into things."

The MEN also reported:

Today (Thursday) the Irish midfielder and his solicitor and advisor Michael Kennedy were expected to have discussions with United's lawyer Maurice Watkins to ponder the question of whether the Reds' skipper should appeal against his record fine and five match ban imposed by the three-man disciplinary commission at Bolton's Reebok Stadium following Keane's disrepute hearing.
