We’re going to the Euros.
Ireland have qualified for the European Championships in France next summer. How bloody great does that sound?
Martin O’Neill’s men beat Bosnia 2-0 at the Aviva Stadium tonight and 3-1 on aggregate.
Jon Walters is the hero after he scored twice; one from the penalty spot and a second half volley from a tight angle.
Here’s the best reaction and the goals from a memorable night in Irish football history.
Walters: past homes include Crewe, Scunthorpe, Wrexham & Chester. Future homes include: Aras, Mount Rushmore, Irish Hall of Fame

Let this be a lesson to us. Always assume we are going to be knocked out. It makes qualifying for things all the sweeter. #IREvBOS

I'd trust Darren Randolph with the keys to my Bugatti Veron, if I had a Bugatti Veron. And if Bugatti's actually had keys. #ShayWho #COYBIG

The most satisfying Ireland performance in many years. Germany win had a whiff of a freak off it, this was total control and domination.

This will be an emotional night for @JonWalters19. He qualifies for Republic via his late mum. She'd be so proud. pic.twitter.com/azrK5DAHCj
