IT’S A SAD bunch of Irish fans that are making their way home today, after yesterday’s disappointing defeat at the hands of Euro 2016 hosts France.

But, they didn’t go down without one final singsong in the city of Lyon, teaming up with their French counterparts for a night of partying on the streets.

There was also a mass gathering of Irish fans outside the courthouse in Lyon, determined to squeeze every last drop of COYBIG spirit out of proceedings.

I'll never know what it's like to be part of a second rate band of supporters! We see, we conquer! Lost 2-1 but hey, it's still steak for breakfast. #fai #coybig #ireland #euro2016 #france
