«Breaking News» Mick McCarthy opens up on 's***e' relationship with Republic of Ireland assistant manager roy Keane

Mick McCarthy has opened up about his rocky relationship with Roy Keane and has slammed the Republic of Ireland assistant manger for overshadowing gaffer, Michael O'Neill.

When McCarthy himself was Ireland manager, he infamously sent Keane home from international duty ahead of the World Cup after the two had a scathing row in Saipan which resulted in Keane unleashing a 10 minute tirade at his boss.

McCarthy has now revealed that the two of them never had a good relationship, long before tensions finally boiled during the preparations for the 2002 World cup.

The former manager said his relationship with Keane was 'pretty s***e' from the start and spoke of another argument the two had while Mick was still playing: 'I had a run in with him on the bus coming back from the USA tour. All the lads had been out, not just Roy. We were all waiting for them to come back, they'd only had a beer and were late getting on the bus.

'I'd had to go and fetch Stan's passport, I packed his bag and put it on. They all come on and I'm having a dig at them. I'm the captain, I'm the manager of Millwall at the time, so I'm saying 'the bus is going, we need to go, we've a plane to catch'.

Then, of course, yours truly gives me a mouthful, so I've gone to have a dig at him back. And we had to be split up. I was never intimidated by him. But that was it.' 

In Saipan, Keane had been furious that the bootcamp hadn't resulted in much practise for the squad before they flew out to Japan, leaking his frustrations to the Irish press.

McCarthy conceded those claims but says there was a method to his madness: 'The pitches [in Saipan] weren’t great. It was horrible. The surface was crap, the kit didn’t turn up. 

That was it. I took them to Saipan for a holiday. Seriously. We went there for four days, and I let them off on the p*ss for two nights. If I didn’t let them go on the p*ss there, they would’ve done it in Japan. So I let them have a blowout, before we go, then we’re down to the serious business.

'We were going to Isamu, and I’d been there and inspected that, they were five star facilities. So all we had to do for four days was go and have a little kickabout on the sh***y pitch, and then we’d go to Japan to prepare.' 

Years later and Keane has found him self as part of the management hierarchy for Republic of Ireland and he has caused turmoil again after falling out with Jonathan Walters and Harry Arter, causing the latter to withdraw from the squad.

It didn't take long for McCarthy to criticise Keane: 'Me and Roy have had our issues, of course, but I’m not in there with him, I don’t see what’s going on. 

'All I will say is this: he’s the only assistant manager in the whole of the world who gets this much publicity, nobody else. It’s like Roy Keane’s Ireland. It’s bonkers, in my view. It shouldn’t be Martin O'Neill having to mop up anything else that’s going on.'

O'Neill is still hopeful that Arter will return to the squad and patch up things with Keane: 'As I already mentioned, I think there is every possibility of a reconciliation and I'm just hoping that will materialise.'

He also waiting on Seamus Coleman and Declan Rice back in the squad ahead of their crucial Nations League double header against Denmark and Wales. Coleman has been out with a stress fracture to his foot while Rice is considering switching allegiance to England.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
