I’m guessing that life as a fan in France just now carries with a heightened sense of what’s happening elsewhere in the country. But this afternoon in Paris there was a short burst of sympathy between Irish fans for the tragic death of Darren Rodgers.
It was a tribute that did not go unnoticed at home in Belfast…
