In a game they really needed to win, Ireland came up disappointingly short.

With Germany and group leaders Poland both winning their respective group games on Saturday, Ireland desperately needed all three points against the Scots. However, Shaun Maloney's goal early in the second half cancelled out Jonathan Walter's opener and sank Irish hearts. Unsurprisingly, the consensus on social media was that the result was a huge let down. Some praised the Boys in Green for their effort against the Scots while others put it down to "same old Ireland, missing out on another major tournament". Check out all the best reactionary tweets to an unsatisfactory day for Irish football fans below. https://twitter.com/Paulmcgrath5/status/609798300099870720 https://twitter.com/Realaldo474/status/609784448058556417 https://twitter.com/daraobriain/status/609769554747740161 https://twitter.com/colmtobin/status/609780983945162752 https://twitter.com/stephenhunt1010/status/609782779228852225 https://twitter.com/boyhunt/status/609781471075807232 https://twitter.com/kenearlys/status/609780939066097664 https://twitter.com/ofarry/status/609782010421358593 https://twitter.com/andymcgeady/status/609782089064562689 https://twitter.com/dubsoulrebel/status/609771375184736256
