MARTIN O’NEILL and his assistant Roy Keane have been regulars on ITV’s World Cup coverage this month.
However, the Ireland manager has also popped up on American television — appearing alongside ex-Argentina striker Hernan Crespo on Fox Sport 1.
In a frankly bizarre clip — sent to Second Captains host Eoin McDevitt by Angelo Fiorini on Twitter — a picture of O’Neill during his playing days at Nottingham Forest is shown on-screen.
The self-deprecating Derry man brands himself ugly, and asks presenter Fernando Fiore if he’s “a bit mad?”, to which the wacky Argentine then responds by landing a kiss on the forehead of O’Neill.
This is the level of punditry we have to put up with here. Time to switch to Telemundo pic.twitter.com/Th0yscSKjp

We’re not sure RTÉ’s Tony O’Donoghue would get off so lightly with such behaviour.
