​EURO2016: Shows of public affection between Republic of Ireland's O'Neill and Keane are over!

Republic of Ireland boss Martin O'Neill has revealed what was said between him and Roy Keane as they hugged last night after beating Italy to reach the last 16 of Euro 2016.

"I told him to shave his beard. It was rustling my chin and I don't want him to hug me again ever," said O'Neill.

"He said, 'You are an ugly sod', and I agreed wholeheartedly. I then retorted and said he wasn't Paul Newman either."
