MUSIC: Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond | 5:57:47 | 5:57:50 | |
For the first time in 30 years, | 5:57:55 | 5:57:57 | |
Northern Ireland are back in the big time. | 5:57:57 | 5:58:00 | |
# Where it began | 5:58:00 | 5:58:02 | |
# I can't begin to knowing | 5:58:04 | 5:58:06 | |
# But then I know it's growing strong | 5:58:08 | 5:58:11 | |
# Was in the spring | 5:58:15 | 5:58:17 | |
# And spring became the summer | 5:58:20 | 5:58:22 | |
# Who'd have believed you'd come along? # | 5:58:23 | 5:58:28 | |
In many ways, it's the perfect location for the fans. | 5:58:28 | 5:58:31 | |
Plenty of accommodation. Have a look. | 5:58:31 | 5:58:34 | |
Hotel after hotel after hotel. | 5:58:34 | 5:58:37 | |
Lots to see, lots to do. | 5:58:37 | 5:58:39 | |
And in terms of the match on Sunday, the stadium, | 5:58:39 | 5:58:42 | |
it's only 15 minutes away. | 5:58:42 | 5:58:44 | |
THEY CHANT | 5:58:45 | 5:58:49 | |
Well, the Northern Ireland fans are only here to party, you know? And that's it. | 5:58:52 | 5:58:57 | |
They're a bit boisterous, a bit loud at times, you know? | 5:58:57 | 5:58:59 | |
But they're here for a party and a good drink, you know? | 5:58:59 | 5:59:02 | |
-But they'll not cause no harm. -So what have you brought with you? | 5:59:02 | 5:59:05 | |
About 15 Northern Ireland tops! And a few other T-shirts, | 5:59:05 | 5:59:09 | |
one pair of jeans, a load of flags and scarves. | 5:59:09 | 5:59:12 | |
And some euros. | 5:59:12 | 5:59:15 | |
Na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na-na! | 5:59:15 | 5:59:17 | |
Na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na-na! | 5:59:17 | 5:59:20 | |
Until Northern Ireland get knocked out, I'll not go back. | 5:59:20 | 5:59:23 | |
So if my boss in work's listening, Callum, I won't be home | 5:59:23 | 5:59:26 | |
until Northern Ireland are out! | 5:59:26 | 5:59:28 | |
The Poland match isn't until Sunday, what are you going to do until then? | 5:59:28 | 5:59:31 | |
Well, we're going to get something to eat here, we're going to go | 5:59:31 | 5:59:34 | |
and get a few drinks and then we'll hit the beach. | 5:59:34 | 5:59:36 | |
We're going to get the six-packs out here and enjoy ourselves. | 5:59:36 | 5:59:39 | |
# Everywhere we go! | 5:59:39 | 5:59:41 | |
# Everywhere we go! | 5:59:43 | 5:59:44 | |
# It's the Ulster boys, making all the noise | 5:59:46 | 5:59:49 | |
# Everywhere we go! # | 5:59:49 | 5:59:52 | |
-It's two-man, but you can fit five. -You can fit five? | 5:59:52 | 5:59:55 | |
How have you found the whole camping experience? | 5:59:55 | 5:59:59 | |
-Well, excellent so far. -It's something different, isn't it? | 5:59:59 | 6:00:03 | |
-Ask us tomorrow morning. -Yeah. | 6:00:03 | 6:00:05 | |
Maybe ask us in about a week and then we'll tell you. | 6:00:07 | 6:00:11 | |
-Lovely so far, but probably at the end of it, that'll be camping done. -Yeah. | 6:00:11 | 6:00:16 | |
-So will we meet up at the end of it all? -Uh-huh. -Absolutely. -Absolutely. | 6:00:16 | 6:00:19 | |
See you in Paris! | 6:00:19 | 6:00:20 | |
So you made it? | 6:00:22 | 6:00:23 | |
I banged it a couple of times, round on the hairpins | 6:00:23 | 6:00:26 | |
and stuff was hanging off, so we've had to screw it back on, | 6:00:26 | 6:00:29 | |
but, yeah, we're here. We're all buzzing. | 6:00:29 | 6:00:32 | |
MUSIC: Seven Nation Army by The White Stripes | 6:00:34 | 6:00:38 | |
COMMENTATOR: 'Fittingly, it's going to be the captain, Stephen Davies | 6:00:38 | 6:00:41 | |
'who has the honour of kicking a ball at a major tournament | 6:00:41 | 6:00:44 | |
'for Northern Ireland for the first time in 30 years.' | 6:00:44 | 6:00:47 | |
# A seven nation army couldn't hold me back | 6:00:47 | 6:00:51 | |
# They're going to rip it off | 6:00:51 | 6:00:55 | |
# And the message coming from my eyes says leave it alone. # | 6:00:55 | 6:00:59 | |
CHEERING | 6:00:59 | 6:01:02 | |
'One-nil to Poland.' | 6:01:07 | 6:01:10 | |
The way it's set out, you only need to win one game, | 6:01:15 | 6:01:18 | |
so realistically, we've still a chance. | 6:01:18 | 6:01:20 | |
It's always going to be a hard game, the first one. | 6:01:20 | 6:01:22 | |
I actually fancied us to get a draw for the first one, you know what I mean? | 6:01:22 | 6:01:26 | |
But the next one... We need three points, no matter what. | 6:01:26 | 6:01:29 | |
-If you leave aside the result, what was the atmosphere like? -Brilliant. | 6:01:29 | 6:01:33 | |
Brilliant atmosphere. Just all the fans, there was no segregation. | 6:01:33 | 6:01:36 | |
Polish, Northern Ireland fans, all in the same boxes, same walkways, | 6:01:36 | 6:01:40 | |
sitting beside each other. | 6:01:40 | 6:01:41 | |
A brilliant craic, it was unbelievable. | 6:01:41 | 6:01:44 | |
'Oh, yes, oh, yes, oh, yes!' | 6:01:50 | 6:01:52 | |
In the French capital, | 6:02:01 | 6:02:03 | |
the Republic's fans were gathering for their opening match. | 6:02:03 | 6:02:06 | |
We're here to enjoy ourselves. | 6:02:06 | 6:02:08 | |
It's Northern Ireland, it's us, we're all here having a party. And that's it. | 6:02:08 | 6:02:12 | |
Major tournaments are nothing new for their fans. | 6:02:12 | 6:02:15 | |
Four years ago, their Euro campaign had been a disaster, | 6:02:15 | 6:02:19 | |
but this time, hopes were high. | 6:02:19 | 6:02:21 | |
'Now Coleman. | 6:02:23 | 6:02:25 | |
'Checks back. Will he go again? He does go again. | 6:02:25 | 6:02:28 | |
'He crosses back to the edge of the penalty...' | 6:02:28 | 6:02:31 | |
CHEERING | 6:02:31 | 6:02:33 | |
'Oh, yes, oh, yes, oh, yes!' | 6:02:35 | 6:02:37 | |
'Could've gone in... there comes a ball. | 6:02:42 | 6:02:46 | |
'Fantastic technique, that is. Oh, what a lovely strike!' | 6:02:46 | 6:02:49 | |
'Look at that. | 6:02:53 | 6:02:54 | |
'Unbridled joy.' | 6:02:56 | 6:02:57 | |
'Larsson was there behind him.' | 6:03:10 | 6:03:12 | |
'Swedish delight, Irish despair!' | 6:03:16 | 6:03:19 | |
1-1 draw is as good as anything. | 6:03:21 | 6:03:23 | |
You're still in it. You're still in it. | 6:03:23 | 6:03:26 | |
Started at 3-0, finished 1-1. Come on! | 6:03:26 | 6:03:28 | |
For Northern Ireland, the moment of truth. | 6:03:43 | 6:03:46 | |
A must-win game against Ukraine. | 6:03:46 | 6:03:49 | |
# Freed from desire | 6:03:49 | 6:03:50 | |
# Mind and senses purified | 6:03:50 | 6:03:52 | |
# Freed from desire, mind and senses purified | 6:03:52 | 6:03:56 | |
# Freed from desire, mind and senses purified | 6:03:56 | 6:03:59 | |
# Freed from desire... # | 6:03:59 | 6:04:02 | |
'McCauley! Gareth McAuley at the front post!' | 6:04:02 | 6:04:07 | |
The fans trying to get Northern Ireland over the line. | 6:04:29 | 6:04:32 | |
McGinn! Niall McGinn | 6:04:39 | 6:04:43 | |
who should be all doled out. | 6:04:43 | 6:04:45 | |
Tonight, they are the Kings Of Lyon. | 6:04:47 | 6:04:50 | |
Absolutely fantastic. Over the moon. | 6:04:55 | 6:04:57 | |
I mean, it's a feeling that people felt 30 years ago in Spain | 6:04:57 | 6:05:01 | |
and now it's bringing it back to another generation. | 6:05:01 | 6:05:03 | |
So what it must be like back home is... | 6:05:03 | 6:05:05 | |
I'm sure they're all as proud and happy as we are out here. | 6:05:05 | 6:05:07 | |
-What's your message to the folks back home? -We're not coming home, Maggie. | 6:05:07 | 6:05:11 | |
You'll see me in about three weeks. | 6:05:11 | 6:05:13 | |
# We're not going home. We're not going home. | 6:05:13 | 6:05:16 | |
# We're not going We're not going We're not going home. # | 6:05:16 | 6:05:19 | |
Yeah. | 6:05:19 | 6:05:21 | |
I came all the way from Vietnam. | 6:05:21 | 6:05:23 | |
It cost me £1,000. | 6:05:23 | 6:05:25 | |
It was worth every penny. | 6:05:25 | 6:05:27 | |
-From Vietnam? -From Vietnam. Every penny. | 6:05:27 | 6:05:29 | |
£1,000. Unbelievable. | 6:05:29 | 6:05:30 | |
It was quite a night. | 6:05:42 | 6:05:44 | |
Northern Ireland's next match was in Paris | 6:05:44 | 6:05:47 | |
but first, some decided to return to the seaside. | 6:05:47 | 6:05:51 | |
We're heading back down to Nice. | 6:05:51 | 6:05:52 | |
We've been based there the entire time and we all like the sunshine. | 6:05:52 | 6:05:56 | |
It's a bit like a big Portrush. | 6:05:56 | 6:05:57 | |
I got a good Belfast tan. | 6:05:57 | 6:05:59 | |
-There's nothing else I can really say. -Are you sore? -Very much so. | 6:06:00 | 6:06:03 | |
-Very much so. -Did nobody ever say to you? | 6:06:03 | 6:06:05 | |
Well, look, I had factor 5,000 on, so I did, | 6:06:05 | 6:06:08 | |
but as you know us Northern Irelanders still have the white skin. we still burn. | 6:06:08 | 6:06:12 | |
# It's the Ulster Boys Making all the noise Everywhere we go. # | 6:06:12 | 6:06:17 | |
A 400 mile trek from Paris to Bordeaux for the Republic's | 6:06:36 | 6:06:40 | |
fans but some travelled in style from South Armagh | 6:06:40 | 6:06:45 | |
in a specially adapted double-decker. | 6:06:45 | 6:06:48 | |
Like all great stories, it started in the pub and we were just | 6:06:48 | 6:06:51 | |
-talking about it and it just accumulated from that, didn't it, really? -Yeah. | 6:06:51 | 6:06:56 | |
It went a bit viral. | 6:06:56 | 6:06:58 | |
She's flying. Touch wood we have had no problems so far. | 6:07:00 | 6:07:03 | |
-What sort of speed are you doing? -40 miles. | 6:07:03 | 6:07:05 | |
It's slow, I know, but it's getting us there. | 6:07:05 | 6:07:08 | |
The craic's good. It's taking us a couple of hours more than what it should | 6:07:08 | 6:07:12 | |
but it doesn't bother us to tell you the truth. You don't feel it. | 6:07:12 | 6:07:15 | |
The Bordeaux bars didn't know what hit them | 6:07:17 | 6:07:20 | |
apart from one pub owner who knew exactly what to expect. | 6:07:20 | 6:07:25 | |
I left Belfast 40 years ago, lost my accent after about a year | 6:07:25 | 6:07:28 | |
and a half. | 6:07:28 | 6:07:29 | |
So I've been living in France now. 36 years in Bordeaux. | 6:07:29 | 6:07:32 | |
I've had the pub. This is 23 years. | 6:07:32 | 6:07:34 | |
So I'm in an unusual situation because I'm supporting three teams. | 6:07:35 | 6:07:39 | |
I had the Irish ambassador and I said, | 6:07:39 | 6:07:41 | |
"Do you ever wonder why there's a number three in the Irish jersey?" | 6:07:41 | 6:07:44 | |
There's a number three on it because I'm supporting | 6:07:47 | 6:07:49 | |
Northern Ireland, Southern Ireland and the team that's playing England. All right? | 6:07:49 | 6:07:52 | |
# Always look on the bright side of life | 6:07:58 | 6:08:02 | |
# Do do do do do do do do. # | 6:08:02 | 6:08:05 | |
Come on, Belgium. Come on, Belgium. | 6:08:07 | 6:08:09 | |
Carrasco wants it. Lukaku gets it. Could be a chance. And it's a goal. | 6:08:15 | 6:08:20 | |
Witsel with the header. 2-0. | 6:08:20 | 6:08:22 | |
Belgium threatening a third goal. | 6:08:23 | 6:08:26 | |
Lukaku. It must be three. | 6:08:26 | 6:08:28 | |
It is. | 6:08:28 | 6:08:29 | |
They've been well beaten here by the Belgians in Bordeaux. | 6:08:29 | 6:08:33 | |
But Bordeaux may be remembered more for what happened off the pitch. | 6:08:36 | 6:08:40 | |
This midnight singsong captured by BBC Newsline cameraman | 6:08:40 | 6:08:45 | |
Phil Hilditch went viral on the internet. | 6:08:45 | 6:08:47 | |
# Stand up for the French police. # | 6:08:47 | 6:08:49 | |
# Go home for the French police | 6:08:51 | 6:08:54 | |
# Go home for the French police. # | 6:08:54 | 6:08:57 | |
-CROWD SINGING: -# Stand up for the French police. # | 6:08:57 | 6:09:00 | |
And as well as charming the police, | 6:09:13 | 6:09:15 | |
they stunned the locals by clearing up after their street party. | 6:09:15 | 6:09:20 | |
Then showed their softer side with a lullaby to a baby on a train. | 6:09:23 | 6:09:28 | |
# Twinkle twinkle Little Star | 6:09:28 | 6:09:32 | |
# How I wonder what you are. # | 6:09:32 | 6:09:35 | |
Shhhhh! | 6:09:35 | 6:09:38 | |
At the same time, the Northern Ireland fans were setting France | 6:09:38 | 6:09:41 | |
alight with Will Grigg's On Fire | 6:09:41 | 6:09:45 | |
and everyone else was joining in. | 6:09:45 | 6:09:47 | |
-CROWD SINGS: -# Will Grigg's on fire, your defence is terrified. | 6:09:47 | 6:09:51 | |
-CROWD SINGS: -# Will Grigg's on fire, na na na na na na na na na na na. # | 6:10:03 | 6:10:09 | |
# Mais je vis a Paris | 6:10:22 | 6:10:24 | |
# Chez Papa et Maman | 6:10:24 | 6:10:29 | |
# Je dois gagner ma vie | 6:10:29 | 6:10:33 | |
# Ca va durer longtemps | 6:10:33 | 6:10:36 | |
# Mais je vis a Paris | 6:10:36 | 6:10:40 | |

With hotel rooms in Paris booked out, | 6:10:47 | 6:10:49 | |
many fans stayed outside the city but what's this? | 6:10:49 | 6:10:53 | |
The lads who vowed to spend the entire tournament in tents were now in a luxury caravan. | 6:10:53 | 6:10:59 | |
So, boys, I met you in Nice last week. | 6:10:59 | 6:11:02 | |
You were the kings of camping. | 6:11:02 | 6:11:04 | |
What went wrong? | 6:11:04 | 6:11:05 | |
We lost our ground. | 6:11:05 | 6:11:07 | |
We were a little bit complacent about the weather. | 6:11:07 | 6:11:10 | |
We thought that we were coming to France in June, | 6:11:10 | 6:11:12 | |
it was going to be lovely sunshine and to be fair, | 6:11:12 | 6:11:15 | |
for the first ten days or so, we loved the camping. | 6:11:15 | 6:11:18 | |
It was something different, | 6:11:18 | 6:11:20 | |
and we arrived in Paris and it was bucketing down. | 6:11:20 | 6:11:25 | |
So we decided that we would get ourselves a caravan. | 6:11:26 | 6:11:29 | |
We travelled all day and we were grumpy, our pitch | 6:11:29 | 6:11:32 | |
was beside the Seine where it had been flooding so we... | 6:11:32 | 6:11:35 | |
If you hadn't been filming us walking into this, | 6:11:35 | 6:11:37 | |
you'd have believed we've been camping for the whole of our lives. | 6:11:37 | 6:11:41 | |
-I almost celebrated it as much as that McAuley goal. -Yeah, yeah. | 6:11:42 | 6:11:45 | |
I did. | 6:11:45 | 6:11:46 | |
I thought it was off. | 6:11:46 | 6:11:48 | |
Well, the atmosphere is actually quite family... | 6:11:50 | 6:11:52 | |
It's all a big family in sports | 6:11:52 | 6:11:54 | |
so they're all supporters of their own clubs of course. | 6:11:54 | 6:11:57 | |
Actually, it started off with the Irish. | 6:11:59 | 6:12:01 | |
Loads, big groups, everybody knows each other. | 6:12:01 | 6:12:04 | |
We had the English, people from Austria now, a lot of German also. | 6:12:04 | 6:12:10 | |
How's the caravan doing? | 6:12:10 | 6:12:13 | |
The roof's near caved in. | 6:12:13 | 6:12:15 | |
Hopefully, we'll get home next week. | 6:12:15 | 6:12:17 | |
Well, we're home Wednesday so... | 6:12:17 | 6:12:19 | |
Hopefully, fingers crossed. | 6:12:19 | 6:12:20 | |
We can win the Germans and then get home and... | 6:12:20 | 6:12:22 | |
What do you think of the Northern Ireland fans? | 6:12:24 | 6:12:27 | |
Best fans. Best fans. | 6:12:27 | 6:12:29 | |
Best fans here in France. | 6:12:29 | 6:12:31 | |
Best fans... | 6:12:31 | 6:12:32 | |
CHEERS | 6:12:32 | 6:12:34 | |
It's a German squad worth nearly £500 million | 6:12:34 | 6:12:37 | |
against a Northern Ireland 23 worth on paper right now. | 6:12:37 | 6:12:41 | |
5% of that, but to the supporters here, those players walking out | 6:12:41 | 6:12:45 | |
now will be worth more than all the money in the world. | 6:12:45 | 6:12:48 | |
The match against world champions Germany was always going to be tough. | 6:12:49 | 6:12:53 | |
But to progress to the knockout stages, Northern Ireland knew they just needed to avoid a heavy defeat. | 6:12:53 | 6:12:59 | |
And fortunately, they had just the man for the job. | 6:13:01 | 6:13:04 | |
That's a lovely ball through looking for Muller. Good save by McGovern. | 6:13:06 | 6:13:10 | |
And the goalkeeper has blocked it. | 6:13:13 | 6:13:15 | |
They find Muller. Khedira was there. | 6:13:15 | 6:13:17 | |
Here's Ozil for Germany. | 6:13:23 | 6:13:24 | |
Gomez, lovely football. | 6:13:26 | 6:13:27 | |
Muller. | 6:13:27 | 6:13:28 | |
Back to Gomez. | 6:13:28 | 6:13:29 | |
Germany lead. | 6:13:29 | 6:13:30 | |
Terrific goalkeeping again | 6:13:35 | 6:13:36 | |
by Michael McGovern saving Northern Ireland. | 6:13:36 | 6:13:39 | |
Superb. Absolutely top drawer. | 6:13:40 | 6:13:42 | |
And shoots, good save by the goalkeeper. | 6:13:44 | 6:13:46 | |
Gets a cross in towards the back post. Looking for Gomez. | 6:13:49 | 6:13:52 | |
And again, pushed away by McGovern. | 6:13:52 | 6:13:55 | |
Michael McGovern is having the game of his life. | 6:13:55 | 6:13:59 | |
You're playing the world champions. | 6:14:02 | 6:14:04 | |
You know, you're not playing Jimmy Connor in Antrim. You're playing the world champions. | 6:14:04 | 6:14:07 | |
It could have been better, it could have been worse. | 6:14:07 | 6:14:10 | |
We're hoping we've done enough to get in third place | 6:14:10 | 6:14:13 | |
and keep everybody happy. | 6:14:13 | 6:14:14 | |
Good evening. Northern Ireland are through to the last 16 | 6:14:17 | 6:14:20 | |
of the European Football Championships. | 6:14:20 | 6:14:23 | |
This was the scene with the Northern Ireland fans in Paris tonight, | 6:14:23 | 6:14:26 | |
shortly after the news came through. | 6:14:26 | 6:14:28 | |
# We're not going home, we're not going home... # | 6:14:28 | 6:14:30 | |
We've got blood, we've got passion, we've got heart. | 6:14:30 | 6:14:33 | |
We're the only nation in this competition that's got it. | 6:14:33 | 6:14:36 | |
We are the Green and White Army, all the way! | 6:14:36 | 6:14:38 | |
MUSIC: La Foule by Izzy Bizu | 6:14:38 | 6:14:41 | |
Craic's good, everyone's having a good time. Loving it, like. | 6:15:00 | 6:15:03 | |
What we need now is a result. | 6:15:03 | 6:15:06 | |
It is make or break for the Republic here tonight. | 6:15:10 | 6:15:15 | |
Lose and they go home tomorrow. | 6:15:15 | 6:15:16 | |
Win and their Euro adventure continues. | 6:15:16 | 6:15:19 | |
Come on, you boys in green! | 6:15:19 | 6:15:21 | |
It's Shane Nelson from Banbridge, | 6:15:21 | 6:15:23 | |
and you came to France to support the Republic and Northern Ireland. | 6:15:23 | 6:15:27 | |
Supporting both teams in green, indeed. | 6:15:27 | 6:15:28 | |
Obviously, good to see Northern Ireland through already. | 6:15:28 | 6:15:31 | |
We want to follow Wales and England and Northern Ireland | 6:15:31 | 6:15:34 | |
and get the whole way ourselves. | 6:15:34 | 6:15:35 | |
Where does your heart lie, Northern Ireland or the Republic? | 6:15:35 | 6:15:38 | |
Most definitely, the South it is, the Republic. | 6:15:38 | 6:15:42 | |
But definitely back the Green and White Army | 6:15:42 | 6:15:45 | |
as well, no problem. | 6:15:45 | 6:15:47 | |
-Are there many like you? -I hope so. | 6:15:47 | 6:15:50 | |
More than I think people let on, I think so. | 6:15:50 | 6:15:54 | |
Definitely changing times, as far as I'm concerned. | 6:15:54 | 6:15:57 | |
A couple of years ago, maybe there would have been certain songs | 6:15:57 | 6:16:00 | |
sang on both sides that wouldn't have welcomed the other. | 6:16:00 | 6:16:03 | |
I think that's changed now. | 6:16:03 | 6:16:05 | |
I put a little double on before I came away. | 6:16:05 | 6:16:08 | |
Both the North and South to qualify in their group. | 6:16:08 | 6:16:11 | |
Tonight the boys in green are going to do it. | 6:16:11 | 6:16:13 | |
They're going to join the Green and White Army in the next round | 6:16:13 | 6:16:16 | |
and I'm going to be 200 quids in. | 6:16:16 | 6:16:18 | |
And the whole of Ireland's going to have a party | 6:16:18 | 6:16:20 | |
in Paris at the weekend. | 6:16:20 | 6:16:21 | |
THEY CHEER | 6:16:21 | 6:16:23 | |
-COMMENTATOR: -The Republic of Ireland must win to stay in. | 6:16:23 | 6:16:25 | |
Italy already guaranteed as group winners. | 6:16:25 | 6:16:28 | |
There is a chance here, Hoolahan for Ireland! | 6:16:32 | 6:16:35 | |
On the rebound. | 6:16:35 | 6:16:37 | |
Has the chance gone, the chance of his life? | 6:16:37 | 6:16:39 | |
McGeady. | 6:16:41 | 6:16:42 | |
Hoolahan. | 6:16:42 | 6:16:43 | |
Long on the edge of the box. | 6:16:43 | 6:16:45 | |
In it comes now. Brady! | 6:16:45 | 6:16:48 | |
Republic of Ireland score! | 6:16:48 | 6:16:51 | |
The place is going mad! | 6:16:51 | 6:16:53 | |
Robbie Brady, 85 minutes gone. | 6:16:55 | 6:16:58 | |
The Republic of Ireland have saved themselves. | 6:16:59 | 6:17:02 | |
Brady's bunch have taken down Italy. | 6:17:02 | 6:17:05 | |
For all of you out there from Donegal to Cork, | 6:17:05 | 6:17:09 | |
who've sung the songs of New York, | 6:17:09 | 6:17:12 | |
who've sung the songs of Stuttgart, | 6:17:12 | 6:17:15 | |
make up your songs anew! | 6:17:15 | 6:17:18 | |
Joy for Roy Keane and Martin O'Neill. | 6:17:18 | 6:17:21 | |
A wonderful and emotional night. | 6:17:21 | 6:17:24 | |
Qualification then for both the Republic and Northern Ireland. | 6:17:24 | 6:17:28 | |
But it wasn't just the teams | 6:17:30 | 6:17:33 | |
who were making the headlines in the French newspapers. | 6:17:33 | 6:17:35 | |
It was also the fans. | 6:17:35 | 6:17:38 | |
"The atmosphere? A big thank you." | 6:17:41 | 6:17:44 | |
"The football that we all love." | 6:17:47 | 6:17:50 | |
"For creating atmosphere, Ireland is united." | 6:17:53 | 6:17:57 | |
The fans certainly made a big impression in France. | 6:17:58 | 6:18:01 | |
So much so, that they won | 6:18:01 | 6:18:03 | |
the prestigious Medal of the City of Paris. | 6:18:03 | 6:18:06 | |
But the tournament was tinged with some sadness. | 6:18:10 | 6:18:12 | |
The death of two fans, Robert Rainey in Lyon | 6:18:12 | 6:18:16 | |
and Darren Rodgers in Nice. | 6:18:16 | 6:18:17 | |
Tributes were paid by the team, by their friends and by fans. | 6:18:17 | 6:18:22 | |
Facing France in Lyon for a place in the quarterfinals - | 6:18:35 | 6:18:38 | |
quite a challenge, but the Irish were up for it. | 6:18:38 | 6:18:42 | |
You always believe, but it will be difficult. | 6:18:44 | 6:18:46 | |
It's not easy playing the host nation. | 6:18:46 | 6:18:48 | |
But we've got the spirit, the boys must be ecstatic, as well as us. | 6:18:48 | 6:18:52 | |
So anything's possible. | 6:18:52 | 6:18:53 | |
They're never going to believe us, we're going to beat the French! | 6:18:53 | 6:18:56 | |
TO THE TUNE OF GO WEST: # Stand up for the French police | 6:18:56 | 6:19:00 | |
# Stand up for the French police... # | 6:19:00 | 6:19:03 | |
Ward. | 6:19:08 | 6:19:10 | |
Early cross in. | 6:19:11 | 6:19:13 | |
Can it come to Long on the half-turn? | 6:19:13 | 6:19:15 | |
Can he get the shot away? It's a penalty for Ireland! | 6:19:15 | 6:19:18 | |
It's a penalty for Ireland! | 6:19:18 | 6:19:20 | |
They got tangled up with each other's feet. | 6:19:23 | 6:19:26 | |
Paul Pogba - in that area, that sort of challenge, so risky. | 6:19:26 | 6:19:31 | |
Brady, to stun the French, the hosts? | 6:19:32 | 6:19:35 | |
Yes, he does! | 6:19:35 | 6:19:37 | |
Went in off the post, doesn't matter. | 6:19:37 | 6:19:39 | |
France 0, the Republic of Ireland 1. A stunning start. | 6:19:39 | 6:19:43 | |
Looking for Giroud, looking for Griezmann. | 6:19:46 | 6:19:48 | |
Looking for the equaliser and they've got it! | 6:19:48 | 6:19:51 | |
In space to finish it. | 6:19:56 | 6:19:57 | |
It's all turned around. | 6:19:59 | 6:20:01 | |
Antoine Griezmann. | 6:20:01 | 6:20:03 | |
No way forward for the Republic of Ireland. | 6:20:08 | 6:20:12 | |
The dream ends right here. | 6:20:12 | 6:20:13 | |
France, as a nation, celebrates. | 6:20:15 | 6:20:18 | |
Ireland crestfallen, but they have done their country | 6:20:18 | 6:20:21 | |
so very, very proud. | 6:20:21 | 6:20:23 | |
Disappointed, but hey, that's the way it goes. | 6:20:24 | 6:20:27 | |
We're here to enjoy ourselves. | 6:20:27 | 6:20:28 | |
Unfortunately we got beat. That's it. | 6:20:28 | 6:20:31 | |
Great fun. | 6:20:31 | 6:20:32 | |
We loved the journey from start to finish and good luck to the French. | 6:20:32 | 6:20:35 | |
Many of these fans have been in France for two weeks. | 6:20:43 | 6:20:46 | |
They were in Nice, they were in Lyon, they were in Paris, | 6:20:46 | 6:20:49 | |
they went home and now they're back in Paris for the game | 6:20:49 | 6:20:53 | |
in two hours' time against Wales. | 6:20:53 | 6:20:55 | |
We'll see very soon whether it's been worth it. | 6:20:55 | 6:20:58 | |
CHEERING | 6:20:58 | 6:21:01 | |
# He's not going, he's not going, he's not going home | 6:21:15 | 6:21:19 | |
# He's not going home, he's not going home | 6:21:19 | 6:21:22 | |
# He's not going, he's not going, he's not going home... # | 6:21:22 | 6:21:26 | |
CHEERING | 6:21:26 | 6:21:29 | |
-COMMENTATOR: -What a moment for everybody involved. | 6:21:33 | 6:21:36 | |
In some ways, it doesn't quite feel real. | 6:21:36 | 6:21:39 | |
It's a major tournament. | 6:21:39 | 6:21:41 | |
It's Wales. It's Northern Ireland. It's in Paris. | 6:21:41 | 6:21:44 | |
Opportunity here for Dallas. | 6:21:48 | 6:21:51 | |
He meant it well and it was saved well by Wayne Hennessy. | 6:21:51 | 6:21:54 | |
Bale's ready to hit it. | 6:21:54 | 6:21:57 | |
Bale brings the save from McGovern. | 6:21:57 | 6:22:00 | |
Bale with another wicked delivery, | 6:22:03 | 6:22:05 | |
and it's turned into his own net by the unfortunate Gareth McAuley. | 6:22:05 | 6:22:09 | |
They were together and just that bit stronger than Northern Ireland, | 6:22:12 | 6:22:16 | |
who now must dare to dream of another day. | 6:22:16 | 6:22:20 | |
We were the better team. | 6:22:34 | 6:22:35 | |
Absolutely distraught. Like, they had nothing. | 6:22:35 | 6:22:38 | |
Even Gareth Bale was woeful. Their fans were more than woeful. | 6:22:38 | 6:22:41 | |
About two songs and that was it. | 6:22:41 | 6:22:43 | |
It's been fantastic. I've been at all four matches. | 6:22:43 | 6:22:45 | |
The fans have been wonderful. | 6:22:45 | 6:22:47 | |
The French people have been very welcoming and appreciative. | 6:22:47 | 6:22:50 | |
The team has played very well. | 6:22:50 | 6:22:52 | |
We went from Normandy to Lyon, | 6:22:52 | 6:22:54 | |
Lyon to Cannes, | 6:22:54 | 6:22:57 | |
to Nice, to Lyon, to the Somme, | 6:22:57 | 6:22:59 | |
to Paris, Paris back and back to Paris again. | 6:22:59 | 6:23:03 | |
It's been fantastic. | 6:23:03 | 6:23:04 | |
We lived the dream. We lived the dream. | 6:23:04 | 6:23:07 | |
Just being here was like us winning it. | 6:23:07 | 6:23:10 | |
Fantastic. | 6:23:10 | 6:23:12 | |
We are the best. We are Northern Ireland. | 6:23:12 | 6:23:14 | |
WELSH FANS SINGING | 6:23:14 | 6:23:16 | |
Is that the first time I've heard them singing today? | 6:23:16 | 6:23:19 | |
The Welsh fans are enjoying the moment. | 6:23:20 | 6:23:23 | |
They're painting the town red. | 6:23:23 | 6:23:25 | |
It could all have been so very different. | 6:23:25 | 6:23:28 | |
But as they say here in France, c'est la vie. | 6:23:28 | 6:23:31 | |
