OK. A little bitter.
Former Ireland football manager Mick McCarthy deflects a dogged reporter seeking his thoughts on Roy Keane’s appointment as Ireland number 2 with his customary wit.
Yin And Lang

ITV Sports last night.
Adrian Chiles: “Martin, the question on everyone’s lips, why choose Roy to work with?”
Martin O’Neill: “I’ve asked myself that many a time in the last couple [of days] or forty eight hours, but he’s coming with me! Personally speaking, it will be great for me, but more importantly it will be great for The Republic Of Ireland.”
Chiles: “Roy?”
Keane: “Fantastic news, delighted obviously, honoured that Martin’s asked me to come and help with the team. Fully excited – I mightn’t look it, but I am! And looking forward to working with the players in trying to get to the Euros.”
Chiles: “It’s a Yin and Yang – I don’t know who’s a Yin and who’s a Yang – but it’s a marriage made in heaven – possibly?”
O’Neill: “Well, I’m the bad cop and I think he’s the bad, bad cop! But I think we’re excited by it, it looks as if we’ve got something to go with, to go forward with – looking forward to it greatly!”

Sir Alex Ferguson speaking earlier at the launch of his autobiography on Roy Keane and his exit from Manchester United:
“For one reason or another he decided to go and criticise his team-mates, so most of you have not seen that video but you couldn’t release it. We couldn’t release it…
..We decided we had to do something. The meeting in the room was horrendous I just could not lose my control on this particular situation, and if I had, the players would have viewed me differently much more differently than I would have liked to be judged. For Roy overstepped his mark, absolutely overstepped his mark and there was nothing else we could do.”
