Right so we've seen how Twitter reacted to this moment of ecstasy. Over in Montrose, the RTE lads were up to their usual wet blanketry, which hasn't gone down well with anyone really, what with Ireland just having earned a draw against the newly-crowned World Champions. Here's a snippet of how they managed to piss off plenty of Irish tweeters.
Watching Dunphy & Giles on delay and I would like to boogy woogy on their heads, the analysis is a joke. #rtesoccer #COYBIG

Dunphy understandably unhappy with being joint top of the table, 3 points ahead of Germany after three matches. Give it over! #rtesoccer — Eoghan Rice (@rice_e) October 14, 2014
Is the miserable post match analysis necessary??? Ultimate buzz kill! #COYBIG #RTEsoccer

Dunphy you complete parasite, sick of the airtime this idiot gets! #rtesoccer — Stephen Maguire (@headofthetown) October 14, 2014
1-1 Unbelievable result and we have on our home station @RTEsoccer 3 old men lashing the country .... Big turn off @SkyFootball for me

Have decided to switch off @RTEsoccer and instead sit in a dark room drinking gin as an appropriate response to being top of the table. — Eoghan Rice (@rice_e) October 14, 2014
The RTE soccer coverage would be better with more ad breaks. The extended bits allow the lads to go way, way OTT.

Someone get Dunphy a Dairymilk quickly #rtesoccer — Eoghan Rice (@rice_e) October 14, 2014
Dunphy, Giles & Brady, all yesterday's men. Should be fired outta the door. Three moaning auld lads living on the past #rtesoccer

It's embarrassing that a tabloid standard journalist is still on the RTE panel trying to tell Martin o Neil what team to pick @RTEsoccer — Aaron McD (@aaronmcd1987) October 14, 2014
#rtesoccer Dunphy can never be happy but I agree with him this will go down as a great result in our History only if we qualify.

@ferrets212212 @RTEsoccer It is terrible. He just talks shite.. Never thought I'd actually have to change to sky sports #rtesoccer — Aaron McD (@aaronmcd1987) October 14, 2014
If Guardiola managed Ireland Dunphy would still call him a chancer. #IRLvGer
