A new high/low for sporting selfies.

We have Darragh O’Shea to thank for this image landing in our inbox. Darragh tells us that last night in Donoughmore in Cork the local team were playing Killshannig in a challenge match. His friend Tommy Joe stepped in to ref the match and he took the opportunity to nab what is surely the first ever in game selfie from a referee in any sport.

Referee selfie

Once again, the GAA leads the world.

It is not close to the most inappropriate selfie we’ve seen this week but it might be something that Sky could consider for their upcoming coverage.
