Irish fans on Twitter have spent the first half just begging the referee to blow up for full time

There's such a thing as scoring too early.

The Republic of Ireland were odds on to score no goals against heavy favourites France but it took them all of two minutes to make the bookmakers look silly. Ireland put Les Bleus on the back foot from the get-go and, when Shane Long was felled in the box by Paul Pogba, Robbie Brady was given the opportunity to add to his Lille winner on Wednesday night. There was no mistake from the set-piece specialist as Brady hammered the spot kick off the post and into the back of the net. And Irish supporters were united in praying for full time to just arrive. https://twitter.com/cads3/status/747052713289060353 https://twitter.com/okmick/status/747052981846171648 https://twitter.com/FrankReidJP/status/747052869371764736 https://twitter.com/Citycolt/status/747052898945728513 https://twitter.com/seanyc5/status/747054745874014208 https://twitter.com/neil_treacy/status/747054776559468544 https://twitter.com/endacan/status/747057964763185152 https://twitter.com/OwensDamien/status/747056274773250048 https://twitter.com/Darransull86/status/747055925945634817 https://twitter.com/daithihartery/status/747054631965102080 https://twitter.com/joemulholland2/status/747053163706990592 https://twitter.com/MarkMcCartan/status/747052645337210880 https://twitter.com/PaulMcauliffe/status/747059247448469505 https://twitter.com/ElaineBucko/status/747056148335951872 https://twitter.com/PaulMulrone/status/747054437454196736 https://twitter.com/tomhappens/status/747058405232226304 https://twitter.com/sineadkissane/status/747057334850031616 https://twitter.com/fergmcfadden/status/747056189515665409 https://twitter.com/natefc/status/747054225457188864 https://twitter.com/BeerMessiah/status/747061476230332416 https://twitter.com/darrenboland98/status/747056036905951232 https://twitter.com/fuckjmulry/status/747063328757919744
