FAI dismiss reports of a meeting between Kerr and Keane

THE FAI yesterday denied that Republic of Ireland manager Brian Kerr is to meet with Roy Keane to discuss the Manchester United captain's possible return to international football.

Merrion Square officials dismissed the reports as rumour after Keane intimated in Dublin earlier this year he had unfinished business with the Irish team.

Kerr has yet to comment on a Keane return but has gone on record saying he would welcome back any player who retired from international football, but subsequently changed their mind.
