Northern Irish fans take the piss as freak winter weather halts the Ukraine game

If you put a bet on wintry weather stopping play at Euro 2016 in France, you'll probably be rolling in money in the Bahamas somewhere right now.

Nobody could have foreseen that crazy arctic weather would bring a halt to a game at the summer tournament. But that's exactly what happened mid way through the Northern Ireland vs Ukraine game in Stade des Lumieres. The Northern Irish side had just taken the lead when hailstones the size of snowballs began pelting down from the sky. The referee was forced to suspend the game while the ground was buffeted by huge chunks of falling ice. https://twitter.com/itvfootball/status/743492736129523712 https://twitter.com/TelegraphDucker/status/743492211480870912?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw The game quickly got back underway, but football fans couldn't help having a wee joke... https://twitter.com/cooneyjerry23/status/743493680066076672 https://twitter.com/jonblower/status/743493772487565312 https://twitter.com/sweenyness/status/743493615918391296 https://twitter.com/MS_Isaiah54_17/status/743493551170945024 https://twitter.com/siobhanmcguigan/status/743493521932431360 https://twitter.com/Alan9269/status/743493511459246085 https://twitter.com/Shaunnyboy85/status/743493360615186432 https://twitter.com/pburgoyne75/status/743493289756733440 https://twitter.com/Islandhopper74/status/743493164120563712 https://twitter.com/G3WRD/status/743493151684444162 https://twitter.com/shenfield_chris/status/743493065491382272 https://twitter.com/Elaine_Mc/status/743492816345645056 https://twitter.com/daniel21war/status/743492906711945221 https://twitter.com/hasasimo/status/743492879449001984 https://twitter.com/ShanePearce/status/743492842430078981
