Carlow people could pop up anywhere, they are nearly as bad as Kerry folk.

They may have the least sexy accent in Ireland, according to our A Slice of Ireland 2016 survey, but hidden among hundreds of Manchester United supporters last night, you would hardly notice that south-eastern drawl. We're well accustomed to GAA jerseys popping up on the biggest of sporting occasions. https://twitter.com/DavidJohnston12/status/719286446939574273 And sometimes not even at sporting events. https://twitter.com/dinglesurf/status/617663419223789568 But little did we think that we would see a man in a Carlow jersey celebrating like a lunatic in the away end of the very last game at the Boleyn Ground. Manchester United were the visitors to the east end of London as West Ham bid farewell to Upton Park, and cameras picked up a man who looked like he arrived at the game in the familiar rainbow colours of a Carlow jersey. https://twitter.com/neil_not_niall/status/730139243306160129 https://twitter.com/crawfordjonny/status/730135756363182082 If anyone knows who this man is celebrating an Anthony Martial goal wildly, we'd love to give him proper recognition. via GIPHY
