Bill Kenwright has criticised Roy Keane for saying ‘some stupid things’ after the Republic of Ireland assistant manager questioned the pressure applied by Everton on James McCarthy and Seamus Coleman over playing for their country. McCarthy wanted to play against Scotland last Friday but was left out after Everton continued to request updates on his hamstring injury. The midfielder has missed the Republic’s last three Euro 2016 qualifiers and Coleman sat out last month’s game in Germany. Both played for Everton four days later. Roy Keane is concerned that Everton are putting pressure on players to pull out of international duty
