Pic: A hilarious GAA photobomb in Sligo with an even more hilarious back-story

This young fella got his comeuppance…

Photobombing, like selfies, have become part of everyday life whether we like it or not, we need to accept it. JOE thinks the funniest photobombs are the ones when the person/people don’t even know they’re photobombing and that was very much the case after a gaelic football match in Sligo recently.

St Mary’s won the Division 3 title and to mark the occasion, the players all huddled in together to take a team photo, standard. We understand that it was a special moment for the St Mary’s lad and they all look great and delighted to be champions, but the photobomb ‘incident’ taking place just behind the team is simply fantastic.

JOE reader Alan Aheerin gave us the full story. Apparently the young fella ran up behind the man and tried to trip him up but got his feet in a tangle and ended up falling over himself.

We are not sure what happened next but we’d imagine the cheeky pup got a bit of a telling off and won’t be trying to trip up old lads again in a hurry.

A big thanks to Alan Aheerin who sent the picture into us on Facebook.
