Roy Keane: Players will decide Euro 2016 finals squad

At the Irish team hotel in Castleknock yesterday, Roy Keane was asked how he was feeling on the morning after the night before.

“Well I’m tired, I know that,” he began. “No, it was good, even better this morning. Obviously there was a lot of excitement last night. And rightly so. You have to enjoy these moments. And the staff, we had a good night.

“It’s even better when you wake up this morning and say, ‘yeah, the players got the job done’. There were setbacks and disappointments in the campaign but, in sport, you’ve got to hang in there and that’s what the players have done. The players are fantastic, they did the country proud.”
