ITV pundit Keane, 46, when asked whether he enjoyed it, said: "Not really, no.
"You're always thinking about the players in the dressing room and [there's] all this nonsense. "
Perhaps Keane, who made up with Ian Wright after rowing on-air with the Arsenal legend, would prefer life at the BBC who did NOT show the ceremony.
The Beeb - who showed the sendoff on the red button - were blasted by viewers for keeping cameras on their pundits.
