Waiting and wondering

PROGRESS may have been made but there is still no definitive decision on the international future of ex-Republic of Ireland captain Roy Keane after his meeting in Manchester yesterday with new manager Brian Kerr.

The two men met in private, though Mr Kerr was visibly annoyed when he was met at Manchester Airport by TV cameras.

The Irish manager has quickly had to come to terms with the fact that private is a relative term when it comes to football and his every move relating to the high-profile Keane will be closely monitored.
