Noel King plays down unrest following 'cowboy' criticism
NOEL KING PLAYED down concerns about squad unrest after last night’s 3-1 win against Kazakhstan.
Shane Long and James McClean both appeared to criticise the interim Ireland manager as they were left as unused substitutes for a second successive game under King.
“Cowboy!! Nuff said,” Long tweeted before kick-off while McClean said it had been “a long ten days.”
King accepted that some players were disappointed but defended his squad selection and his man-management.
He added: “I spoke to all the individual players before anything happened. They all know where I’m coming from on it, they’re all professional.
“I don’t mind if they’re unhappy. That’s life.
