Eamon Dunphy: "I Threw Myself Under The Bus" To Save Roy Keane

Eamon Dunphy has rebuked Roy Keane's assertions that he sold him down the river during the fallout from his last book. That particular tome was ghost-written by Dunphy and he was subsequently called to give evidence during Keane's disciplinary hearing over his assertions that the irish midfielder intended to injure Alf Inge Haaland.

Dunphy was speaking on the Ray Darcy Show on Today FM and although he was holding back from revealing all, he did say that Keane's latest book is somewhat mistaken over the facts of the disciplinary hearing.

Dunphy says he "threw [himself] under the bus to try and save him" when he was brought in front of the FA committee. Keane's latest assertions about his eventual suspension stem from Dunphy's statement that he believed Keane intentionally injured Haaland. However, the RTÉ pundit has pointed out that that is not what Keane was charged with.

Instead Dunphy points out that the charge surrounded the fact that comments about the tackle made it to print, thus bringing the game into disrepute, something which Dunphy attempted to take the blame for.
