PARIS: Republic of Ireland coach Martin O’Neill expressed his anger over the ticket allocation for the team’s game against France on Sunday. Ireland fans got an allocation of just 4,500 tickets for the match in the 59,000 Stade de Lyon. “It’s totally disproportionate for a stadium of this size,” O’Neill complained. “For us, or any team that was going to be playing in the round of 16 here, to be allocated less that 5,000 tickets is, I think, pretty unfair, honestly.”
