Tottenham Hotspur Manager Harry Redknapp Feels For Robbie Keane

"The fourth official is standing there stopping people standing a yard outside the technical area. He could be watching the screen for vital decisions.

"Not every decision but vital ones and it would only take seconds. We've put a man on the moon and we can't see if the ball has hit a hand. And it's not going to stop the flow of the game.

"Maybe like in tennis where they have three or four appeals per match. It was so blatantly obvious and unfortunately the human error has cost Ireland."

And Redknapp insists that Keane will be fresh enough to take out his frustration on Wigan Athletic this weekend after Wednesday's game went to extra time.

"It was a tough game, with extra-time as well.

"It was disappointing to see. They worked so hard and played so well. To go out of the World Cup to such a disputed goal, an obvious handball, must have been a massive disappointment."

Ledley King is still absent for Spurs with a hamstring problem, whilst Luka Modric's recovery from a broken leg is taking longer than originally anticipated.

"It's been slower than expected with Luka, it's already been twice the time we expected," Redknapp explained.

"He's a little while away from being fit enough. We're desperate to get him fit but we can't rush him."
