Players are soft: Keane

Former Manchester United hard man Roy Keane believes the Carlos Tevez affair highlights that modern players are soft and lack the fierce, no-mercy approach of his own career.
"I think Tevez has probably disappointed both sets of supporters. That is the way the modern game is going now - he has had his bit of punishment," said Keane ahead of Sunday's mouth-watering Manchester derby.
"I can't imagine he is going to be involved on Sunday now but if he is I am sure he is going to get a hot reception from both sets of supporters."
Keane told the BBC that too many players in the modern game have too much power and fear hard work on the pitch.
"Every player seems to have a bit of a fit when he is taken off or not brought on."
