A moment for any Irish sports fan to savour according to George Hamilton
It’s been a tremendous year for 32 county non-partitionist Ireland sides on the international sporting stage.

Early goal - Stuttgart 88 type long long time to hold on.
Dare we believe
Is this like camogie except the girls aren’t all lesbians ?
Camogie is to rug licking hoors what honey is to bees
This is proper high stakes sport - an Ireland team in a World Cup semi final. Stuttgart 1988 was partionist Eire in a group game which effectively decided which of the two teams that were eliminated in the group stage avoided finishing bottom of the group.
Go away and beat your wife Geoff ! Your Mickey is in some fellas mouth
This is incredible stuff from the Irish team. We’re 30 minutes away from a World Cup final. Graham Shaw has the same initials as Gareth Southgate and he has followed the Southgate blueprint in terms of turning his team into a set piece machine. Let’s hope his team has better luck in terms of holding onto a 1-0 World Cup semi-final lead.

Oh no.
Ireland need fresh legs badly.
We’re getting a bit overrun in midfield at the moment.
1-1 at three quarter time at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
Lightning counter attack by the Spanish there but over the bar on the reverse stick shot.
We’ll be doing well to hang on for a penaly competition.
29 degrees in the stadium. Proper World Cup weather. The players mut be gasping for a drink of Harrogate Spring Water, the official spring water of the World Cup.
