Keane gets FA warning

FORMER Sunderland manager Roy Keane was yesterday handed an official warning following an incident during a game against Chelsea on November 1.

An FA statement read: “At an independent regulatory commission hearing today, former Sunderland manager Roy Keane was warned as to his future conduct after admitting a charge of improper conduct. Keane was charged for his conduct towards referee Martin Atkinson in the tunnel at half-time of Sunderland’s match against Chelsea on November 1.”

Keane, while in charge of the Black Cats, approached Atkinson in the tunnel to complain about two of the goals awarded to Chelsea in a game Sunderland lost 5-0.
