We’reĀ justĀ about coming back down to earth after the Republic Of Ireland clinched a World Cup play off by defying the odds with a 1-0 victory over Wales.
While James McClean scored the crucial goal and his fellow Derryman Shane Duffy won Man Of The Match, to a man Ireland played superbly and it would be remiss of us to single anyone out.Ā
Look at them there… Beautiful men…

Cyrus Christie has improved game by game…
And where would we be without Jeff Hendrick’s wonderful assist?
The injured Johnny Walters didn’t play but he wins best movie reference for this ‘Dumb and Dumber’ quote…
