Keane and McCarthy 'delighted' to end feud

Roy Keane has spoken of his relief at ending his bitter feud with Mick McCarthy.

Keane was sent home from the 2002 World Cup after a major row with the then Republic of Ireland manager.

The former Manchester United captain says the dispute is over after a recent telephone conversation between the pair.

“Last week he rang up about one or two of our players, we had a good chat and both agreed it's time to move on and we're both delighted with that”, Keane said today.

He added: “Life's too short to hold grudges.”
