And the last couple of days have seen the beginning of the countdown to London 2012. The BBC being unable to report on any tangible benefits for Norn Iron have rightly asked the question, several months after Slugger, what’s in it for us?

The answer is zilch. No visiting teams, no visitors, no capital builds etc
Kate Hoey suggests that Norn Iron was complacent which can only point the finger at Nelson McCausland. It seems the guy with a name which is neither one thing or the other nonetheless lived up to it turning a blind eye to the Olympic cake and parking it long term. Well, as the piece concludes, we can view the Olympics from afar.
I like a good story.
