We want, no, we DESERVE a recount.
Despite our best efforts to mobilise the Irish public to vote for Tayto in Richard Osman’s World Cup of Crisps on Twitter, Ireland’s favourite snack has been eliminated.
Tayto went into a ten-minute elimination vote-off with Walkers Smoky Bacon and lost out by 51%-49%.
The valiant Tayto fight ends by the slimmest of margins in #wcocr2016 https://t.co/kZURDuq3p3

It was like the Ireland v Romania penalty shootout all over again, except with a gory ending.
People were outraged.

Another moral victory at Easter for us. I'm looking on it as a stepping stone. https://t.co/stK0OoliZR

This feels worse than that time Thierry Henry punched the ball into our goal. https://t.co/kby25FEdn5

Alas, this wasn’t to be…
@AdrianCTweets if we can just get a draw to play the next match in Tayto park I could see us making the quarters
