They've erected a Jim The Redeemer 'statue' up in Donegal

The good people of Laghey deserve a medal for this.

SORRY, RIO. YOUR Christ The Redeemer statue may be world famous, 38 metres tall and 28 metres wide, but the newest tourist attraction in the south Donegal town of Laghey is just as good (if not miles better).

Behold: Jim The Redeemer!

Just look at the incredible attention to detail to get the likeness of Jim McGuinness in his prime just right.

Amazing, isn’t it,

Now all Donegal need is for the sun to set early on September 21, behind the iconic statue (or is it more of a scarecrow?) during the All-Ireland final.

Thanks to Bernie Quinn for the glorious image.

    Player should respect fans. Fans pay to see football. Yes i know certain fans are bad. But not all. It’s the ugly side of sports i hate. Celebrate with your fans not bringing hate to others

    @Simon Dwyer: You could forgive the player as his own fans had United jerseys on, he was confused.

    Used to work in Tallaght near the stadium. There are always “fracas”.

    @Ashling Fenton: I’ve been to Tallaght Stadium to watch Rovers, ROI U/21’s, WNT, Dundalk during their European run & now Pats. Have to say, never once seen a fracas involving fans. Mad the different perceptions people have!

    @david lydon: There was a bit of handbags between players at the end of a tense game. Hardly Irish soccer disgracing itself now…
