Roy's interview on the BBC sport website is worth taking a look at. He has still a major grudge at the FAI that will never go away. Cant see him ever been national team manager

What a deeply sad individual. He talks about Ireland getting over what happened on Wednesday night Jesus this is the same fella that hasn't yet got over what happened in Saipan in 2002. http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12040_5706539,00.html Please judge for yourself by watching the video.

As much as he was right about certain issues that arose in Saipan 7 years ago ,he does need to get over them. Bartle doo made a perfectly good point that I would agree with. The substance of Roy's argument wasn't totally incorrect but if Ipswich were beaten for example in the play off finals by a similar handball how would Roy react?

He said he feel's bad for the players, the manager and the fans.
It's the FAI he doesn't care for and rightly so after the way they treated him.

It is about time we stopped discussing him and Stephen Ireland in my humble opinion. We shold talk about the people who want to be involved.

Some people on here cant seem to get over Roy Keane and it's the usual shower that's at it.

Greatest Irish soccer player by some way of his generation!

Agree with everything he says particularly the "always somebody else's fault" bit! And how do you let the ball bounce in the six yard box with Thierry Henry on the premises?

Roy keane was irelands or one of there best players ever and he is right about the FIA but felt for players and fans afterall the FAI treat cork players different from the dublin ones.

Serves them right. The FAI molly cuddled Roy, bent over backwards for him, took his part against the manager when he deserted them at the World Cup, etc, etc, etc.

And Roy never wanted preferential treatment did he? No wonder he doesn't like them.

They should have banned him for life.

Banned him for what because he did not want to train on car park with no footballs or water hmmm The FAI are a joke i feel for the players.

JUDAS has shown his true colours yet again, and overrated as a footballer, a good footballer yes but could never do with a ball what liam Brady could do with it.

I hate Roy Keane with a Passion.

roy keanes a traitor. he walks when the going gets tough and walked away when his country needed him most. he walked on sunderland too. when in saipan he should have shut up. hes there to play FOOTBALL and nothing else. now he doesnt want an irish replay out of his spite for the fai. he's a selfish disgrace

Although Keane came across as bitter and angry in that interview (I watched the BBC iPlayer version, not sure if it's different to Sky) what he said is essentially true. We should have defended the free kick better, should have taken some of our own chances to score. The FAI never, ever, not in a million years, had a chance of getting the game replayed, it would have opened up a huge can of worms. The posturing by Delaney et al since Wednesday night has been embarassing.

Keane is right, it is time for video replays to be used for incidents like this to ensure an injustice like this, or the penalty we were awarded vs. Georgia, never happens again. At the very least "umpires" like those in the Europa League should be brought in. But it's time get over the disappointment of Wednesday night and move on with our heads held high.

He carried ireland to the world cup on his own so stop your jibberish and training on car parks with no balls , you call that pro staying in a hotel with stail sandwiches and small rooms while the FIA had the best rooms there a joke full stop.

The Irish players in the Stad de France on Wednesday night done something that Mr Roy Keane never done, Played with Pride and Passion for the Irish Jersey and fans. Keane when he was'nt pretending to be injured only played with half a heart saving his best for the other left footer mr Alex Ferguson. Fact.
