Damien Duff hits back at those who stuck the knife into Keith Andrews

Interesting!

The former Shelbourne manager spoke about a recent visit to Brentford's training facilities, where he met up with his old friend and ex-Ireland teammate Keith Andrews.

The Bees manager has surprised many with his success in the Premier League this season - his side currently sit in seventh place - in what has been his first year as a head coach, having replaced the hugely popular Thomas Frank.

Two of Andrews critics have been Martin O'Neill and Roy Keane, who were manager and assistant at Ireland from 2013-2018.

Before Andrews got the Bees job, O'Neill also said: "I hope he does get it because then he will realise what management is all about. It's not as easy to be sitting in a pundit's chair sitting to criticise someone who in all honesty had a much better career than he had."

In the past, Keane has said: "If I can make one point about new Irish staff…

“I’ve heard a lot of bulls***ters over the last 10 years and Keith Andrews is up there with the best of them."
