Classic

“I’m just going out for milk…”

A care-free Irish dad put his country first this weekend when he upped sticks and took for Bosnia, apparently unannounced to the rest of the family.

William Murphy, in Dublin, tweeted about his father being missing only for the same boy to show up on the nine o’clock news. In Bosnia.

It seems he took off for the Euro 2016 first leg play-off clash and just forgot to tell anyone who might be wondering where he was.

They should’ve known.
