Keane blasts Wenger over remarks

Never one to miss an opportunity to have a good moan, Ipswich Town's outspoken manager Roy Keane has this time directed his anger towards Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger.
'Keano', made the headlines last week after unleasing a scathing attack on FAI chief executive John Delaney following Republic of Ireland's controversial defeat in their World Cup play-off clash against France.
The former Manchester United skipper was adamant Delaney and the FAI had got 'what they deserved' after Thierry Henry's blatant handball led to Les Bleus' decisive goal scored by William Gallas.
Having since apologised for his remarks after one supporter asked for his resignation at Ipswich's AGM earlier this week, the 38-year-old has taken exception to Wenger's comment suggesting Giovanni Trapattoni's men need to 'get over' their exit.
The Frenchman had suggested that if the handball incident involving his former skipper Henry was such a terrible thing, then why does FIFA not introduce video technology.
"People were giving their own comments last week, obviously I gave mine as an ex-player and as an Irishman," Keane told reporters at his Friday press conference.
"And I mean an Irishman, born and raised there, I thought I was entitled to give my opinion. Everyone else has given their opinions - other managers who aren't even Irish - so I thought I was entitled to give mine.
"I've got no regrets about it. If someone asks me a question I'm going to give you an answer.
"I think I'm entitled to do that. As usual, people get upset by it.
"We're on about incidents and players, whether they be cheating or conning referees, it's all part of the game.
"I don't know about Arsene Wenger making the point. Some of the Arsenal behaviour over the last few years is questionable and Arsene Wenger never sees anything anyway.
"Maybe we just need a video at the Emirates."
