Keane apologises for Ireland and Delaney tirade

ROY KEANE has apologised to Ipswich Town fans for last Friday’s tirade at the Irish team and the FAI in the wake of the Republic’s World Cup exit.

Keane slammed the Irish defence and goalkeeper Shay Given for conceding France’s controversial goal and hit out at FAI chief John Delaney, a foe since the events of Saipan in 2002.

But at Tuesday night’s Ipswich Town AGM it was Keane who was on the wrong end of harsh words with a shareholder describing his comments as “embarrassing” and calling on the former Manchester United midfielder to resign from his position as Ipswich boss.
