Confirmed: Ireland and Shane Long caused the biggest shock in European football this year

Democracy in action.

We can all be very proud of ourselves today after our efforts have secured the Ireland football team a *prestigious* honour. You may remember that we asked you all yesterday to lend your support so we could win/fix this poll that the Uefa Champions league Twitter account were running. https://www.instagram.com/p/_1ZEd2FVW7/?taken-by=sportsjoedotie And fair to ye all, thanks to everybody's efforts, and double clicking, and setting up fake Twitter profiles, we have won another online poll after the result was revealed this morning. https://twitter.com/ChampionsLeague/status/681432971375677440?s=03 Out of almost 50,000 votes, more than half were for Ireland. Not so shabby.
