Carl Frampton cruelly highlights Paddy Barnes’ questionable fashion in photo with Premier League goalkeeper

Spotted it straight away

Carl Frampton was never going to let Paddy Barnes away with this one.

Never.

Barnes did a workout with a high-profile athlete on Saturday morning and just like anyone would do in that situation, he decided to commemorate the moment with a photo.

The subsequent image of himself posing with Brighton and Hove Albion goalkeeper David Stockdale was posted to Twitter and it was innocent enough. On first glance, it would be hard to find any fault with it.

Have a good look at it and see if you notice what Carl Frampton took issue with.

If you spotted it, well done. If you still haven’t look down.

It was, of course, Barnes’ interesting choice of footwear that Frampton felt compelled to inform his hordes of followers about.

They say you shouldn’t judge a man until you’ve walked a mile in their shoes.

So we’ll reserve our judgment on Mr Barnes’ choice of footwear.

And anyway, Barnes explained himself.
