Facing Roy triggers tension for McAteer

Jason McAteer has spoken of the lingering tension between himself and Roy Keane.

The former Ireland international and Liverpool star still maintains that the fiery Cork legend was wrong to walk out on Mick McCarthy and the Irish team as they prepared for the 2002 World Cup.

McAteer said: “It disappoints me, because I’m 40 and we are out of the game. When you’re playing, you have your enemies and rivalries.
