Please make it stop.

If the game wasn't bad enough, sweeping our nations one by one and taking away our conversations - and friends - then the celebration could just be worse. Finnish outfit RoPS are responsible for bringing Pokémon Go to football and they're responsible for all the kids you see doing this same celebration over the summer. They beat FC Lahiti on Sunday 2-1 in the the Veikkausliiga and celebrated the opening goal, in true millennial fashion. https://twitter.com/Leinonen24/status/754703415603826688 For anyone who doesn't know, Pokémon Go is an app that allows you to walk around the streets finding and catching virtual Pokémon. They still have a long, long way to go to get anywhere near Icelandic side Stjarnan's level. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHpAYlas7lA Listen to our new GAA podcast with Colm Parkinson.
