Credit to O'Neill. He made a number of brave calls with the team selection tonight and they paid off. Well done.

A special night.

Can people give the Delaney thing a break, just for tonight, please?

I didn't think I could love Gigi Buffon anymore, and then he comes along and does that after the final whistle. One of the classiest individuals to ever grace the football pitch.

He's like thqt before games too, greeting opposition players like theyre long lost friends. A proper gent

Gave the gf a scare with my scream when brady scored. :-) Should have him in midfield more often. He was excellent imo. Also hoolihan has some set on him after his miss. Alot of players would have gone in their shell but he didnt. Put in a fantastic cross for the goal.

If Ireland beat France they'll possibly have England in the Quarters..... tell me if i'm getting a bit too carried away....

I think moving Brady into the middle was a master stroke. Himself and Hendrick were terrific. Still not sold on McCarthy.

Not a chance in hell.

We'll be playing Iceland in the quarters.

Walters is crocked and no point in bringing on a player in that shape.

It's good that you have a direct line to the Irish Medical team. Take it easy, enjoy the night:)

Yeah 100%. I doubted the changes big time but the team really turned up. O'Neill's liathroidi totally vindicated

France are bound to fall victim to the hype of being hosts, every chance it could be against us. Football karma owes us a win over them anyway.

Sorry, it was me that started it, but just annoyed me seeing him trying to jump his way on to the front papers again.

Hard to believe that's our first win in the Euro finals since we beat England in Euro 88,

In fairness, Hoolahan scored one goal and assisted the second that got Ireland 4 points and into the next round. He had a miss, but hes having a good tournament overall.

The entire street erupted when that final whistle went, people driving their cars around honking as if they've won the thing :pac:

Brilliant performance from what I could see (was watching the Belgian game with the Ireland game on in the background), thoroughly deserved.

And now since about half of my friends here are French, this should be interesting

Strange thing to get irritated by. Would you prefer he showed no emotion?????? Anyway...

PeterTheEighth

Fair play to Martin. He must have been under some pressure after the Belgium game.

chupacabra

I'm currently in the back arse of nowhere with barely any phone signal. But this thread has been all ive needed tonight. Thanks a lot lads, i'm giddy at your jubilation.

Bleating Lamb

If we are allowed to play 3 teams we are sorted

No, he's a despicable chancer who is a poison on Irish football.

The team that started tonight should start against France. There's something interesting there and it would be a pity to break it up now. Give that 11 another shot

Great win...nothing to lose against France. Hoolahan with the bit of quality again. Great to see what it means to the players and fans.

rodge68

I stayed at home tonight but was out last night and tmr nite, think I'll stay at home once we keep winning or keep playing like that .
The only downside is that Hendrick is playing so brilliantly Derby will sell him when a bid comes in..joking...he deserves it !!

Ulster better gaelic, better football championships, better rugby players, better craic, better everything. Enjoy our managerial tactics, smear them all over your golden-spoon-fed-county's-population.

What is your opinion on the Syrian crisis?

A word for our centre backs tonight, much better pairing and much better performance there.

Agree McClean was great tonight. He played above himself.

Hardly fair with France having played three days ago?

Canadel

Good result for the Irish team. Even better result for the French team.

But it's not about tonight. It's about the wider impact it will have on football in this country. It's the legacy of tonight's performance and the winning goal which will live on in the memories of the nation and hopefully inspire young lads (and ladies) to resist the temptation of inferior, purely physicality reliant games for short term gain and popularity and take up the universal game of football, the beautiful game, the greatest sport in the world, the universal game, the only game that is watched and played in fishing villages in Taiwan, favelas in Brasil and all across the continents of Africa and Europe. The only game that can and has united the world and will continue to do so in the future. That is what should be celebrated tonight. And that is why we should be congratulating the team, the management and the whole set up.
