Robbie Keane responds to Roy Keane's 'breastfeeding' jibe

The striker did not hold back when asked about the suggestion he may breastfeed his newborn son, saying the Ireland assistant manager would be far better equipped for the job.

Robbie Keane has proved that he is not just venomous with the ball at his feet, as he delivered a withering put down to Ireland assistant coach Roy Keane.

The striker is celebrating the birth of his second son, who arrived in the world on Monday, as the all-time top scorer prepares for a decisive Euro 2016 qualifier doubleheader.

Roy Keane dismissed notions Robbie could miss the games due to the latest arrival, suggesting the only way he could if he was breastfeeding his child instead of the mother.
