FAI refuse to play ball

THE President of the FAI, Milo Corcoran, yesterday made it clear the FAI will not court Roy Keane in an attempt to persuade him to again play for Ireland.

They will leave the issue of selecting players for the international team to the incoming manager.

Mr Corcoran was speaking in Athens where Ireland will play Greece tonight in a friendly match and while he would like to see Keane play again at international level he stressed it was not the intention of the association to get involved in the issue of squad selection.
