Keane lashes Staunton for omitting Sunderland players

Sunderland manager Roy Keane hit out at Steve Staunton yesterday after the Republic of Ireland Manager left three Black Cat players out of his squad to face Wales and Slovakia later this month.

Liam Miller, David Connolly and Daryl Murphy were all omitted from the team despite a recent run of form for the players as Sunderland push for an automatic promotion spot to the premiership.
