The nation is in emotional turmoil after Will Grigg has been officially extinguished

This day will forever go down as a dark day in our country's history.

In the run up to the second Battle of Britain in EURO 2016, we all just wanted one thing... the chance to see Will Grigg on fire. He's been in flames for weeks now, if not months, but glimpses of Will Grigg on fire are rare, only a handful of people from Wigan have ever witnessed the natural phenomenom. And, sadly, it will remain that way. Will Grigg wasn't brought on as a subsitute for Northern Ireland's match against Wales, even when they found themselves 1-0 down and in need of a goal to stay in the competition. https://twitter.com/Oddschecker/status/746758353553063940

The public did not react well.
