TWEETS: The best reaction to a first half where Ireland LEAD France 1-0

This is going very well.

Ireland are 1-0 up against hosts France in Lyon and we're looking confident, very confident. Robbie Brady continued his heroics from the Italy game by converting a very early penalty, after Shane Long was brought down in the area... and a whole nation shouted in pure joy. https://twitter.com/GavinDuffy/status/747053417969881088 https://twitter.com/Tweetinggoddess/status/747053136305655808 https://twitter.com/eoghanmcdermo/status/747052873092063232 https://twitter.com/Michael1979/status/747048976394915840 https://twitter.com/eoghanmcdermo/status/747053417571450880 https://twitter.com/MissNikitaMHugh/status/747053881658642432 https://twitter.com/mickconlan11/status/747052735892197376 https://twitter.com/RikerMitchell/status/747053817502531585 https://twitter.com/DaveyHiggins/status/747058252379193344 Once the game settled, so did Ireland and despite some scary moments at the end of the half, we looked relatively comfortable, although the nerves were significantly increased. Even the Taoiseach was getting involved. https://twitter.com/EndaKennyTD/status/747056099124183040 https://twitter.com/spike_osullivan/status/747055118072283136 https://twitter.com/keithwebs/status/747059573643673600 https://twitter.com/RobTimony/status/747059508577447937 https://twitter.com/alisoncomyn/status/747059504597114880 https://twitter.com/ConanDoherty/status/747054075368308736 https://twitter.com/CrossyTweets/status/747053904936964096 https://twitter.com/stephenpmc/status/747061171707084801 https://twitter.com/Rackob/status/747062323832098816 https://twitter.com/simonhead/status/747061858146844672 https://twitter.com/ronronzo/status/747062844328394753 https://twitter.com/pakiehayes/status/747063025635581952 https://twitter.com/enr56/status/747063382851919872 https://twitter.com/lornamerrins/status/747063601857503238 https://twitter.com/MarianHarkin/status/747063342678827009 https://twitter.com/MiguelDelaney/status/747064764464009217 https://twitter.com/eoghanmcdermo/status/747064340650557440 https://twitter.com/ronanofficial/status/747066250883280897 And then there was this bit of magic by Shane Long... https://twitter.com/Vthota111/status/747062535296266240 Beautiful.
