Fog lifts in Faroes, but not for fans who ‘mist’ match

HUNDREDS of Irish soccer fans never made it through the thick fog to attend Ireland’s World Cup qualifier on the Faroe Islands. But you couldn’t say they ‘mist’ much.

And the Irish team were still on the island last night when their scheduled flight home was fog-bound after the match.

The game was mostly a dull encounter, just like the weather, which closed the of the island’s main airport.
