Thomas claims Keane decision racist

ROY KEANE would not have been punished for his controversial autobiography had he been English.

That's the view of former Manchester United star Mickey Thomas, whose own colourful career included a number of disciplinary problems and even a stint in prison.

Thomas, who now follows United home and away in his role as a local radio analyst, believes Keane has been singled out by the FA and has every right to feel aggrieved at the five-game ban and record £150,000 fine handed down at Bolton's Reebok Stadium.
