He probably just zoned out and was thinking about the time he nailed someone.

F***ING AMAZED THOUGH!! Was watching on stealth in my office, got awayu with 85 minutes of it, gave the game up with an epic roar and banging on the desk!

McClean was brilliant tonight

"Great night for everybody!" - Johnny Giles

It certainly is.

If MON says up like he did against Belgium I will slit my wrists. The Swedish game and this game have both proven we are a decent side when we play ball.

We were very open when Mccarthy went off but Wes was a risk worth taking. What a result

mansize

Conte not too disappointed! The draw works well for us!

We were disappointed after the Sweden game, We complained after the Belgim game and formed the negativity that beating on the best teams in the world was just not possible.
That team has just proved us that they do have what it takes to be in the tournament and they proved it beyond any doubt.
Well done to the team, well done to MON and Keane and well done to all of the fans that stuck by them and egged them on even when all odds were against.
I love you Ireland!.

A pleasure to watch history unfold

Have to say, as someone who has been lukewarm at best about the national team over the past few years, I'm quite pleased with that.:D

I thought we played ok football at times tonight too. Yeah we were direct, but played some ball at times too. Perfect times to score though. Wouldn't have been confident we could have held on to that for. say, 25 minutes.

Hoolahan owns one to Brady!!!!!!!

His life would have been done had we not won :P:P:P

Seeing Roy hug Martin there. It was like everything came full circle for Keano. What a moment. What a night.

I just hope O'Neill doesnt make any sort of humourous reference to hugging another man at the next press conference, or Off The Ball will be on the case again.

Roll on Sunday. All 4 home countries made it through.

No they didn't. Scotland weren't even in the tournament.

Peist2007

Mission accomplished. Serious balls tonight. From both players and management. I hope they enjoy the rest of this tournament now, bonus territory, brilliant support in the stadium and have a go.

briany

Don't care what happens now. Fantastic night. Didn't think it would happen and then BAM! Feel good factor up to maximum.

Maybe Ireland will get tonked by France, but tonight the team did the country proud and that's all I really wanted to see when this tournament commenced. One great moment. We got it. Thank you, Robbie Brady.

Now let's party!

pajor

Defying the odds, was not expecting that!

Allez Les Verts!!

ROI play France

Wales play Northern Ireland

Jayop

Just to have a moan, RTE player crashed for everyone in the office on 90 minutes. By the time all the stupid adds were replayed the game was over.

dublinman1990

Wow. What a fantastic victory against the Italians.

And all thanks to the hard work of this team & of one Robbie Brady who scored the winning goal.

I teared up a little bit when the final whistle was blown on what was a great night for the Irish team.

Well done to them all.

We owe the French one.

PeterTheEighth

At least if it's looking close against the French, John Delaney will be able to negotiate a few million quid for the country to give the French passage through to the next round.

John Delaney delighted that he gets to stay on the p1$$€r for another few days.

We took that game by the balls and deserved it. Italy deserved nothing, not that they cared

Peist2007

Brady shaking. What a brilliant night YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Seeing him celebrate soured the moment for me, but get in. I am delighted for Wes and Robbie.

PeterTheEighth

Robbie is a great lad. Ask him some decent questions ffs. Tony O'donoghue, a fan with a microphone.

GreNoLi

France have their work cut out, good to see Buffon congratulate O'Neill and Keane.

PeterTheEighth

Me head's not really working... lol:D:D

Guy:Incognito

Belgium must fancy their chances now. Reward for coming 2nd instead of winning the group is a game against Hungary then the winner of Wales V N Ireland. I'd say if it was straight GD Italy would have rolled over for us and conceded another one or two.

Jayop

Ah Robbie. How class was that interview.

I won't tire of seeing that Brady goal replayed in the years to come, he has become the Houghton for the kids of the age I was in '94.

The emotion on his face celebrating that, magic.
