At times like this, it’s more than OK to cry.
It’s encouraged, in fact.
Wednesday night is an historic night for the Republic of Ireland and it should be celebrated as such.
If you’re Irish, you should have that extra pint, hug that extra second longer and shed that tear that you might be trying to blink away.
You should celebrate like the Brady family celebrated when Robbie took to the air bravely, fearlessly, and took the result by the scruff of the neck.
Robbie Brady has sent his country into the knockout stages of the Euros and every ounce of adrenaline and passion that came pouring out of his family is a physical representation of what we all love about this game we call football.
