Roy Keane offers Keith Andrews five simple words of advice
Andrews has taken charge of Brentford ahead of the the new season, with the bees kicking off their Premier League campaign away to Nottingham Forest.
The Dubliner was previously Brentford's set-piece coach, but was appointed manager after Thomas Frank left the club to become Tottenham Hotspur boss during the summer.
Speaking about Andrews and what he needs to do, Keane simply said: "Try and win some games."
"Well, it's a great opportunity. Obviously, he's had a tough summer with players leaving and the manager leaving, but he's been in that environment last year, working there.
"But what an opportunity for him to work in the Premiership.
"For all the problems, there's still enough there. There's still a good group of players, enough quality, and if they get one or two in over the next few weeks, what an opportunity.
"He does talk a good game, he always has. He just needs to back it up now. Again, it's a good game for him today, going to Forest. I think they have a good record there; they'll always be strong in terms of set pieces.
"Yeah, I think it will be a tough start, but what an opportunity. He's got to embrace it and, listen, let's see how he gets on."

Big match verdict: Manchester United won't turn a corner until they learn to defend one
©UK Independent Unless Manchester United can defend a corner, they will not turn one. Until Ruben Amorim's big decisions succeed, the verdicts on his reign may be unflattering. A new season brought an improved United in various respects, but a third win at Old Trafford for Arsenal under Mikel Arteta. A club who once clinched a Premier League title on United turf can hope the road to another began with the same scoreline and at the same venue. 'A big, big result,' said Arteta.

Irish international Troy Parrott scores ninth goal of the season for AZ
IRELAND INTERNATIONAL Troy Parrott scored his ninth goal of the season for AZ Alkmaar today. The Dubliner produced a clinical first-time finish from Netherlands underage international Kees Smit's low cross. The Irishman's goal gave AZ a 2-1 lead in the 54th minute, but they were ultimately left frustrated and had to settle for a 2-2 draw against newly promoted FC Volendam. The 23-year-old also scored a brace in his side's league opener last week — a 4-1 win over FC Groningen. Advertisement Parrott has also scored in all four of his Uefa Conference League appearances — finding the net in two-legged ties against Finland's Ilves Tampere and FC Vaduz of Liechtenstein, taking his overall tally to nine from six games. Troy Parrott's 9th goal of the season already!🦜🇮🇪 — Rep of Ireland Player Tracker (@reptracker) August 17, 2025
