Rule of thumb: ask Roy Keane a stupid question, you'll get an answer made out of pure gold.
Keane and journalists are a match made in comedy heaven, and a perfect storm was whipped up as the Republic of Ireland assistant manager addressed the media at the team's base in Abbotstown.
It started with an innocent enough question.
"Will Robbie [Keane] be available [for the Germany game]?"
Naturally, Roy's eyebrow raises.
"Why wouldn't he be?"
With Ireland playing Germany on Thursday, what else could he be doing?
"His wife just had a baby..." the reply whispers.
Initiate: death stare.
"Well, HE didn't have the baby. Unless he's breast-feeding, he should be alright."
Not even a flicker of a smile. Hero.
