Shane Long you absolute legend.
Very few people can say they saw it coming, but on a night like this, who really cares?
Ireland secured the unlikeliest of victories over World Champions Germany thanks to a stunning second half-strike by Shane Long.
If the night wasn’t good enough already, Poland snatched a last-minute draw against Scotland to increase our chances of qualification for the Euros next summer.
On one of the most memorable nights in Irish football history, Twitter acted accordingly.
What a night, what a feckin’ night!

Brilliant win! O'Neill has got it absolutely spot on. Credit to him and all the players, everyone of them applied themselves superbly.
