A troll who issued a vile public comment towards Damien Comer just moments before him and his Galway team took the field against Kerry in the All-Ireland final.
Conor Fitzpatrick, who is a GAA club member with Ballymartin in Newry posted the disgusting comment on his Twitter page about the Annaghdown forward's late father.
John Comer was a major influence in shaping the football career of full-forward Comer and sadly passed away at the start of 2017.

Despite apologising about the statement a short time after, Conor is refusing to delete the original insult which can still be found on his public Twitter page.
He added: "I apologise wholeheartedly to the Comer family, not knowing the history, however the tweet was meant with the best of GAA craic. The rest of you can take a breath."
And the keyboard warrior has also been defended by his club Ballymartin who are "very proud" to have him as a member of the club.
Ballymartin said: "We are very proud to have Conor as a member of our club. Conor is a football man and does tremendous work for us on and off the field. He was clearly not aware of the situation and wholeheartedly apologised for the comment and offence caused."
Conor's place of employment has also been contacted over the incident by social media users.
Despite being absolutely crestfallen following the result on Sunday, the Tribesmen can hold their head high after a fantastic campaign, and equally fantastic final.
Kerry proved too strong for Galway as they edged ahead in the final few minutes to take their 38th All-Ireland Senior Football Championship.
Four unanswered points as the clock ticked on sealed a win for the Kingdom but Galway gave 100% as they kept pace with Kerry despite being largely written off before the game.
