Because it was the most atrocious win imaginable. It was all hoofing it back and slicing clearances in to the crowd, they couldn't string 2 passes together and forgot that it wasn't a game of Gaelic football. If a team beats us (as most do) fairly and with decent football with gifted/organised technical players then I don't think anyone would begrudge them.

But that Irish side and performance were disgraceful and thankfully they were found out. Football was definitely the winner last night!
