Manchester United legend Roy Keane branded ref Nestor Pitana “an idiot” after Croatia’s World Cup final defeat to France.
Fellow pundit Ian Wright suggested referee Pitana was right to award France a penalty after looking at what appeared to be an accidental by Ivan Perisic in the box, a fuming Keane struggled to control his rage as he offered this retort.
“You need your head examining,” Keane barked at Wright. “Football is a great game, the greatest game on the planet, but that decision there disgusts me, absolutely disgusts me.
“The Croatian players deserve better than that. It’s a ridiculous decision. I’m fuming, disgraceful decision. That referee has never played football, I bet you he has never played football.
“Where is the common sense? We end up talking about the referee. You are not supposed to be talking about referees. We should talk about the players, the quality and we end up talking about this idiot. It’s a crazy decision. I am just about to calm down.”
