In case you’re unfamiliar with the act of dabbing, it’s a dance move popularised in America where the dancer bends their forearm towards their head, and then touches the arm with their head.
We’re probably not doing a very good job of describing it, so it’s lucky that we’ve got somebody who can show you what we mean.
As the camera did its slow-pan across the faces of the Northern Ireland players yesterday, one mascot stood in the background dabbing through the entire thing.
Here he is:

You can see him just as the camera passes Aaron Hughes. While dabbing might not be the most respectful move to pull during a country’s national anthem, part of us does admire the commitment he shows in holding the pose for so long.
