Kenny sidesteps 'British style' comments from Luxembourg counterpart

Seamus Coleman adds: From the players' point of view we are happy and are seeing good signs. We want to improve on this for the next campaign

POISE: Manager Stephen Kenny during a Republic of Ireland training session at Stade de Luxembourg on Saturday. 

For a World Cup tie that has no qualification significance, tomorrow’s concluding Group A clash between Luxembourg and Ireland is creating a bit of tension between the managers.

Just an hour after home boss Luc Holtz attributed “British style with long balls” to Ireland’s improvement, Stephen Kenny was not inclined to let the comments of his Luxembourg counterpart pass - though ultimately he thought better of getting drawn into a needless war of words.
