It’s been the best of times and now the worst of times.
Our 2016 Euro’s dream is over and while everyone is feeling a little sad and dejected, we can at least be assured in the knowledge that we’ve been the best craic fans of all time.
We’ve all seen the various clips of Irish fans having fun and enjoying themselves but it’s nice to see that at the team’s lowest moment, our supporters – every single one of them – have stayed behind in the Stade de Lyon to give the boys in green a deserved round of applause.
They’ve done us proud.
C.O.Y.B.I.G!
Beautiful moment as Irish players and staff observe the fans belting out Fields of Athenry to them.#COYBIG pic.twitter.com/LIm86noQJm

Irish players just standing and looking at the fans serenading them. Quite a scene. They don't want to leave. pic.twitter.com/w2go6NAL0s
