Football comes a very poor second with the news of Jo Cox but does anyone think it's a coincidence how well NIR played without Lafferty? Is he too much of a distraction?
N'Iron population circa 1.81m Ukraine population circa 42.5m A thoroughly deserved win and amazingly hard-working shift in rain, hail, etc. Not to mention their awesome fans
