Eamon Dunphy said the Republic of Ireland should get Brendan Grace to do the team's press conferences.

The RTE pundit slated Roy Keane's role with the team last week, questioning his coaching contribution to the side, and said Ireland would be better served with another assistant manager, and a comedian to do press duties. However, while we're not privy to Keane's coaching methods, there's no doubt his press conferences are still box office. Keane spoke on Friday for the first time since Ireland's dramatic win over Italy, and didn't take kindly to being described as "emotional" at the final whistle. https://twitter.com/ConanDoherty/status/746286395661107200 He also had a quip for the translator. https://twitter.com/ConanDoherty/status/746287020566323200 https://twitter.com/me_stafford/status/746286880237457408 Keane was asked again about being happy at the final whistle of Wednesday's game, with some seemingly considering the sight of the former Manchester United captain being happy as a rare as a solar eclipse. https://twitter.com/ConanDoherty/status/746289479967776768 He also revealed he likes to hug his dogs. https://twitter.com/ConanDoherty/status/746289742493384704 But he doesn't like being tagged as an "underdog" ahead of Sunday's game against France. https://twitter.com/ConanDoherty/status/746291606463086592 SNAPCHAT
