Keep an eye out for this flag at the Belgium game.

From worshipping at the feet of RTÉ correspondent Tony O'Donoghue, to paying tribute to one of the most relatable Irish words out there, Irish fans have demonstrated their creativity in abundance when supporting Ireland at Euro 2016. Now it's the turn of JOE reader and Derry native Mark Madden who, along with his friends, have channelled the inimitable persona of Father Austin Purcell from Father Ted to help support the Boys in Green. The group will don this flag at the Belgium game in Bordeaux on Saturday and we'll definitely be keeping an eye out for it. Austin P Anything to remind us of one our favourite ancillary characters from the iconic series is good enough for us. https://youtu.be/Wp8LxTMQNcQ Clip via mattmcnerlin Cheers to Mark Madden for sending this our way. If you have something you would like to share with us, send it to our WhatsApp number 087-4001102, editorial@JOE.ie or hit us up on Facebook or Twitter.
