Roy Keane's autobiography will not distract Martin O’Neill's ROI Euro 2016 mission
MARTIN O’NEILL says the furore surrounding the launch of assistant Roy Keane’s updated autobiography will not distract the Republic of Ireland from their Euro 2016 mission.
The Ireland boss met the media in Malahide, near Dublin, yesterday after he and Keane had put the players through their paces for the first time since they met up ahead of the qualifiers against Gibraltar and Germany.
However, they did so with Keane once again making the headlines after copies of his book The Second Half were mistakenly put on sale briefly on Monday ahead of tomorrow’s official launch.
O’Neill said: “The most important issues are our games and Saturday’s match against Gibraltar is really important.
“We have come off the back of a great win against Georgia and it’s vital to focus on that. I genuinely don’t know what the headlines are in the book.”
