THE Republic of Ireland might have lost to France in yesterday's Euros clash but the celebration of the team's only goal has been driving the imagination of Twitter users wild.
On what was an emotional day that saw the boys in green crash out of the tournament, fans have been cheering themselves up after getting a rare glimpse of an exuberant Roy Keane.
When Ireland went 1-0 up after only two minutes into the match, Ireland's assistant manager Roy Keane was seen jumping up and down in joyous celebration.

This prompted users on Twitter to photoshop Keane onto different scenes, such as the moon, the Eiffel Tower and even onto the photo of Maradona's hand of God goal, which he scored against England in the 1986 World Cup.
At half-time Ireland looked to be heading to the quarter-final of the tournament, thanks to a penalty conceded by France's Paul Pogba which was scored by Robbie Brady.
But two second-half goals in the space of five minutes from France meant that Ireland lost 2-1, putting them out of the tournament
This was the first time the Republic of Ireland had qualified for the knock-out stage of the UEFA Euro Championships.
