Keane in training bust up

Republic of Ireland captain Roy Keane was at the centre of a training ground bust-up with Packie Bonner and Alan Kelly.

Keane clashed with goalkeeping coach Bonner and World Cup squad keeper Kelly in a row over a five-a-side training game.

The Manchester United skipper complained when Bonner kept the Irish goalkeepers out of the five-a-side match at their Pacific Island training ground.

Bonner had worked the keepers for 40 minutes before the rest of the World Cup squad arrived, so decided to rest Shay Given, Dean Kiely and Kelly as the rest started a five-a-side game.

It annoyed Keane, who clashed with coach Ian Evans, Bonner and Kelly before he was told to calm down by manager Mick McCarthy.

Keane was unhappy that outfield players had to stand in goal and try to save the ball with their feet.

He had words with coach Evans at half-time and with both Bonner and Alan Kelly after the match. It is understood the exchanges were quite heated.
