VIDEO: Bruce Arena and Robbie Keane stole the show at the FAI Awards

The Ireland captain and his club boss treated viewers to a comedy sketch last night.

IRELAND SKIPPER ROBBIE Keane was named Senior International Player of the Year last night and sent a video message to those present at RTE studios as he was unable to attend.

The 33-year-old, who has been rested for Wednesday’s friendly against Serbia, was joined by LA Galaxy boss Bruce Arena for the link.

It’s unclear whether he was simply trying to stop himself from laughing at the gag which was about to follow, but Arena’s stiff facial expression was priceless.

Even Roy Keane afforded himself a little chuckle.

    Poor Joey’s football career is in steady decline due to his quick thumbs and quick tongue. He thinks he’s smarter than everyone yet he can’t see what’s happening.

    He’s becoming more of a rent-a-rant than Eamon Dunphy, and he’s twice as bitter. Not looking forward to when he goes into punditry.

    Dunphy is entertaining, Joseph Barton is not.

    How he is still in football is beyond me. Nothing but a thuggish mouthpiece.

    Far from me to ask whats this idiot doing on this fantastic on line newspaper, There is better stories like the Donegal people walking to Dublin to protest about the cuts to all services and the banks.
