IRISH TIMES SPORTS journalist Emmet Malone has today received an abundance of complimentary tweets from APOEL Nicosia fans.
APOEL were reinstated into the Europa League following Fenerbahçe’s expulsion via a wildcard draw in which the Irish journalist happened to pick out the Cypriot side.
They are consequently back in Europe, despite previously being beaten 3-2 on aggregate by Belgian team SV Zulte Waregem, and their fans took to Twitter to pay tribute to Malone as a result.
