Ireland fans were not impressed with Robert Lewandowski’s diving in Warsaw

The new Tom Daley?

First things first, Ireland didn't do enough to win or draw in Warsaw and in fact, over the course of 10 games, Poland were deserving of their automatic qualifying spot. And in Robert Lewandowski they have the world's in-form striker – his headed goal was out of the top drawer. But over the course of a hugely frustrating 90 minutes the Bayern Munich striker's habit of going to ground at every touch infuriated the Irish fans. It probably didn't help that John O'Shea turned in a performance of such clumsiness he could use a DVD of the game as an audition tape for clown college. But it was Lewandowski's histrionics that most annoyed the Ireland fans. https://twitter.com/RichieMcCormack/status/653290916208345088 https://twitter.com/DoylerIsSchizo/status/653306970850594816 https://twitter.com/Ger_Stapleton/status/653307055512678400 https://twitter.com/leccymeter/status/653307059358834688 https://twitter.com/Fr4n_C0/status/653307103705202690 https://twitter.com/Bradfordcentral/status/653307191060000768 https://twitter.com/ericlalor/status/653307618837012480 https://twitter.com/DavidShowell/status/653307777461407746 https://twitter.com/WestCorkRebel/status/653311684325588993 https://twitter.com/keithwebs/status/653311905491230720 https://twitter.com/MatthewStanger/status/653312111502880768 https://twitter.com/HRHgearoid/status/653312137096527873 https://twitter.com/patrickbuttimer/status/653312200485040128
