Damien Delaney’s Ireland days look to be over

Damien Delaney’s international career appears over. 

The Crystal Palace defender was left out of the 37-man Ireland squad for the Euro 2016 qualifiers against Gibraltar and Georgia and there has been speculation his omission might be linked with a past argument with Ireland assistant manager Roy Keane when the duo worked together at Ipswich.

Delaney, though, said he has no issue with his fellow Corkman and claimed that, at 34, the ‘future of Irish football does not lie with me’.
