May 18th The Sun reported that Chelsea legend Duff is now in charge of the Irish Premier League Sherburn. He was forced to watch the team's Friday game with the championship rival Bohemia in an unconventional way due to a suspension.

46-year-old Duff received his fifth yellow card of the season when he defeated St. Patrick last week and was automatically suspended for one game. But this is not a problem for the witty coach. He was photographed standing on a hillside near Dalemont Park Stadium and watching the game remotely with a "disguised combination" of a mask and a baseball cap.

Although sharp-eyed fans saw through the disguise, they were all impressed by his creativity. A netizen joked: "Duff's viewing perspective at Dalemont Park is really unique." Another exclaimed: "This is probably the best love super photo I have ever seen."

Some people joked that he was wearing a "geely suit" (sniper disguised suit), and more fans joined the ranks of memes: "The banned coach looks so classic when he is alone on the hillside", "I have to admit that this guy can always make things interesting."

But Duff's viewing experience was not pleasant. The team not only lost 0-1, but the two players were even red one after another, leaving him watching as only nine people left on the court to fight.
