Football legend Roy Keane has apologised for his comments last week over the Thierry Henry handball affair and his anti-FAI rant.
The former Manchester United and Republic of Ireland captain, who wouldn't be accustomed to changing his mind on subjects, apologised after he was confronted by an angry fan at the Ipswich Town AGM on Monday night.
Keane made some scathing remarks at a press conference last Friday, lashing out at the FAI and blaming the Irish defence for the goal that knocked Ireland out of the World Cup.
"The comments were perhaps over the top and I apologise to any supporter I might have offended," said Keane.
"I'm 38 years of age and I'm going to make mistakes."

At the heated meeting in Ipswich, a disgruntled Town fan asked Keane to step down as boss after the team's abysmal start to the season.
Keane was on the defensive for much of the meeting as members discussed Ipswich's worst start to a season in 73 years.
He admitted that if current form continues he will not be in the Ipswich for too much longer.
"I know that if results don't improve I'll lose my job, but I'm not fearful," he said after receiving the backing of Ipswich chief-executive Simon Clegg.
Keane has led Ipswich to just one victory in 19 league and cup games, and the former Ireland and Manchester United captain said that he was "embarrassed and hurt" by the team's record.
The situation at Ipswich would not have been helped by Keane's remarks last week when he decided to lay the blame for not making the World Cup squarely at the door of the FAI and the Irish defence.
