It was announced earlier that Irish fans are going to be awarded a medal for sportsmanship by the mayor of Paris.
I'm finding this incredibly gas, in a sort of 'it would only happen to us' type of way. The logistics are what transpire to be the most amusing. Is the mayor going to hand them all individual medals or just one big one that they get to share among them? Will there be an accompanying certificate?
Also, had Ireland beaten France, would she still be giving them the award? Unlikely. She'd be awarding Irish fans with the Biggest Chancers award, no doubt.
Here's some other awards we think the Irish fans deserve.
1. Biggest legends.
2. Mostly likely to buy you a pint.
3. Best flag makers.
4. Funniest drunk people.
5. Cutest butts.
6. Best session heads.
7. Most likely to wear green.
8. Worst singing voices but very enthusiastic nonetheless.
9. Impressive ability to go for a wee absolutely anywhere.
10. Most likely to wave at a TV camera, even when they're crying.
11. Biggest chancers.
12. Unparalleled ability to sniff out an off licence.
13. Most reliable source of tame divilment.
14. Best tyre changers.
15. Most efficient means of calming a baby on public transport.
16. Most likely to take their tops off after one drink.
