Keane has no regrets over Haaland tackle
Roy Keane says he has no regrets over the tackle on Alf-Inge Haaland that could see him up in court.
Speaking to the Observer Sport Monthly, the Manchester United skipper even said he would probably commit such a foul again.
Keane picked up the 11th red card of his career for an alleged elbow on Jason McAteer at the end of the game against Sunderland.
Asked if he had any regrets about the Haaland incident, Keane replied: "No. Even in the dressing room afterwards I had no remorse. My attitude was, f*** him. What goes around comes around. He got his just rewards. He f***ed me over and my attitude is an eye for an eye."
Asked if he would do the same thing again now, Keane paused before replying: "Probably. Yeah."
The Football Association, which is set to decide this week whether to charge Keane with bringing the game into disrepute, has said it will study the interview.
After the interview was conducted, Keane apparently rang the magazine to stress he had "never in my career set out to deliberately injure any player" and had made "a genuine effort to play the ball" in the incident. His ghostwriter, Eamon Dunphy, had used "a degree of artistic licence", he said.
Keane also claims in the interview that Mick McCarthy deserves to "rot in hell".
The midfielder had initially told the magazine he wanted Niall Quinn and Steve Staunton, two Irish team-mates who sided with McCarthy, to "rot in hell as well" but in a subsequent call said he hoped to repair their friendship.
