SUPPORTERS OF IRELANDโ€™S national football team received huge praise for their well-behaved antics at Euro 2016 over the summer.

Videos of fans serenading the locals, chanting alongside the police, singing Our Father to a nun and changing car tyres went viral during the tournament, and Uefa even decided to present them with an award for their outstanding contribution.

In tonightโ€™s episode of Republic of Telly (10pm,  RTร‰2), reporter Charlie Bird and football pundit Richie Sadlier feature in a sketch which looks at how members of the Green Army have struggled to settle back into normality after the carnival atmosphere in France.
