Holy mother of god, are ye watching the match?

For the unaware, Ireland scored in the first  two minutes and we’ve maintained the lead ever since. The problem obviously with an early goal is the anxiety of maintaining the lead. Twitter is awash with green-clad patriotic fans on the edge of their seats. Here are the funniest tweets so far.
