ITV commentators Ally McCoist and Lee Dixon have been jokingly accused of making Roy Keane fly home during the World Cup in Qatar.
The former Republic of Ireland captain recently revealed that he returned to his Manchester home for a few days during the tournament because "fellow pundits" were getting on his nerves.
He told Sky Bet: "I had a break. I needed a break, just my tolerance levels. Yeah, people get on my nerves."

When asked by Micah Richards to name who was annoying him, Keane replied: "How long have we got? Fellow pundits."
Keane was back on punditry duty for ITV as Argentina defeated Croatia in the first of this week's semi-finals on Tuesday night and claimed the penalty which led to Lionel Messi giving his side the lead should not have been given.
The Manchester United legend stated that Julian Alvarez wasn't fouled by Croatia's goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic, disagreeing with Dixon and McCoist's opinions on co-comms.
"Poor defending overall to let him get a run in on goal, but I agree with the lads," Keane explained alongside Gary Neville and Ian Wright in the studio. "I don't think it's a penalty. Where else are you supposed to go?"
As Mark Pougatch passed back over to the commentary team for the second half of the semi-final clash, Dixon and McCoist disagreed with Keane, Neville and Wright over the penalty decision.
Commentator Sam Matterface then said: "We were looking for the pundits that made Roy go home during the tournament; I think we may have just found them."
