Andrews slams ‘disgraceful’ Diarra

KEITH ANDREWS last night claimed Lassana Diarra had made a “disgraceful” comment to spark the ugly scenes which marred the end of Ireland’s defeat to France on Saturday.

The Blackburn Rovers player was hunched over dejectedly after the final whistle when Diarra approached and Andrews automatically thought that his opponent’s intention was shake his hand.

Instead, the Real Madrid player said something which Giovanni Trapattoni claimed later was insulting to the Irish nation and the result was some angry scenes, with Andrews and Richard Dunne particularly incensed.
