Ireland skipper Roy Keane reportedly threw a wobbly at their World Cup training camp - after being told to go in goal.

Mick McCarthy has Newcastle's Shay Given, Dean Kiely of Charlton and Blackburn veteran Alan Kelly in his 23 currently based on the island of Saipan, but the trio were spared a Tuesday session of practice games by goalkeeping coach Pat Bonner.

And Manchester United midfielder Keane lost his temper first with Bonner and then with coach Ian Evans when outfield players were told to don the gloves instead.

"The exchanges were quite heated," said an onlooker quoted by onefootball. "Roy was clearly not happy. Roy was angry out there, he was not a happy camper at all. In fact, he had a face like thunder."

McCarthy eventually intervened and told his captain to lighten up.
