These were all the best jokes as Republic of Ireland exited Euro 2016 at the hands of the hosts, losing 2-1 to France in Lyon on Sunday.
Brave in defeat, Martin O’Neill’s side were unable to prevent the French from overturning their unexpected early lead and finished the game reduced to ten men as their opponents progressed to the quarter-finals.
Here are the best jokes as Ireland are knocked out of Euro 2016 following their 2-1 loss to France:

Long shot, but I think Martin O' Neill should trigger Article 50. #irl #fra #COYBIG

Hope Ireland do get knocked out so we don't have to hear anymore stories about them saving cats, fixing cars and wanking off French coppers
