The trio of former Premier League stars had been on Sky’s pundit team covering Liverpool’s clash with Manchester City, where the Reds triumphed 2-0 that day.
Keane’s dispute with the fan was mentioned during the broadcast when Liverpool star Salah was being interviewed after the final whistle.
Salah recently came under fire from Carragher over the Egyptian’s current contract stand-off with the Merseyside giants.
During the interview, Carragher was asked about recent comments from presenter Dave Jones, who said: ‘Mo Salah throws down the gauntlet, Jamie?’
Carragher jokingly replied: “I’ll see him in the car park”, mocking the incident between Keane and a fan last weekend.
Carragher decided to reference the incident between Keane and the fan when asked about Salah’s reaction to the Man of the Match award.
Carragher’s fellow Sky Sports pundits couldn’t help but laugh as Keane slumped in his chair looking slightly embarrassed.
Neil Finbow, who witnessed the altercation from the pitch barrier, shed light on exactly what happened between Keane and the fan during an exclusive interview with Mail Sport.
Keane maintains a strained relationship with many Ipswich fans following his time as manager at the club.
He explained that the fan had expressed frustration with Keane’s behavior toward his children years ago, alleging that Keane had been rude and denied them autographs during his tenure as manager.
Speaking to Mail Sport, Finbow said: “The whole argument stemmed from a problem with their children.” The fan’s problem was getting autographs at the time when he was the manager here. The guy was basically saying that Roy Keane ruled by fear.
“You could see him pointing at the parking lot because that’s where the autographs were done, and that’s where he had the problem with Roy all those years ago. So it makes sense that they were pointing that way.”
Finbow noted that Keane’s comments could have been misinterpreted: “What Roy said could have been misinterpreted. He might have wanted to talk in the parking lot, because that’s where it all happened. It’s hard to say. But yeah, he might have wanted to. ‘I’ll say ‘I’ll talk to you in the parking lot,’ but it seemed like I was inviting him out (to fight).’
