Soccer: Keane issues quit threat

Roy Keane has warned the Football Association of Ireland that he will quit international football if the treatment of the players does not improve.

The Manchester United midfielder criticised the FAI after scoring twice in the 4-0 win in Cyprus in Saturday's World Cup qualifier.

Keane was angered by the conditions at the team's training camp prior to the game and by the fact they were made to sit behind the officials on the flight.

"I am not pointing the finger at anybody, but if there was anything to make me say 'I am going to spend the week with my wife and kids at home' that would be it," Republic skipper Keane told Sky Sports.com.

"Where we trained in Clonshaugh was abysmal and it has been for as long as I've known it.

"I was fairly critical of the seating arrangements for the flight over here when the officials were at the front and the players behind.

"For me, that's simply not right and it's not because I am playing for Manchester United.

"The priority has to be the team and I don't always think that has been the case here. I understand the FAI can't afford certain things, but there is a lot of room for improvement."
