Tommy Martin: Maybe Duffer's pic can get 'hedge' funding for League of Ireland

It’s probably no harm to have all Duffer’s doings getting airtime from Ballybough to Bogota, even the embarrassing ones.

Damien Duff said he thought the photo of him standing on a grassy knoll watching Shelbourne play while he served a touchline ban was "an embarrassing, mortifying photo for the league when it's in such a good place". Pic: ©INPHO/Ryan Bryne

“Damien Duff es el entrenador del Shelbourne desde el 2021. Ayer estuvo suspendido en el partido donde su equipo perdió 1-0 ante el Bohemian. ¿Qué hizo? Presenció el partido desde una de las montañas que colinda con el Dalymount Park.” 

So posted a Colombian sports journalist called Richard José Durán this week, sharing with his X followers the now-famous image of Damien Duff getting around his touchline ban for Shelbourne’s game against Bohemians by, as Ricardo says, “watching the match from one of the mountains bordering Dalymount Park.”
