Roy Keane yesterday admitted he remains "relaxed" about his decision not to return to the Republic of Ireland squad.

And, while claiming he would have preferred his international career to have ended on a different note than his infamous walk-out from the World Cup, he insisted if the circumstances presented themselves again, he would react in the same manner.

"It had been building up for about 12 years and there had been a lot of frustrations that people were aware of and could have done something to sort them out," he told MUTV.

"If it happened again I would do exactly the same thing. I want to work with people who want the best and like to prepare properly.

"The situation was driving me crazy. Players deserve better than that and from what I understand they are getting treated better now.

"The manager questioned my loyalty and accused me of feigning injury. It was the biggest insult he could have thrown at me as a player. I walked away with my head held high."

A near sell-out crowd at Dalymount Park witnessed a fine display from Stephen Kenny's side as Bohemians beat Tottenham 3-1 at Dalymount Park last night.

Spurs featured seven of the side beaten by West Ham at the weekend, including Irish internationals Stephen Carr and Gary Doherty, but they were second best to the Eircom League champions.

Bohemians got off to the perfect start after two minutes when, from a Bobby Ryan corner, an unmarked Paul Keegan converted from inside the box.

Spurs equalised following Teddy Sheringham's corner, when full back Mauricio Tarrico chipped the ball back in to Doherty, whose low strike went in off the left hand post.

The home side were back in front two minutes after the break when Colin Hawkins rose high inside the penalty area to head Mark Rutherford's corner into the roof of the net.

On 57 minutes Robbie Doyle got on the end of a Simon Webb free, to score with a fine strike from the right hand side of the box.
