Praised has been heaped on a massive lad who was snapped craftily watching a football match while seemingly by his companion.
To the unsuspecting eye the man and his female companion appeared engrossed in one another's company as they enjoyed a drink in a Thameside pub.
A closer look revealed that the dark blue jacketed man's mind was actually somewhere else.
Hidden in his upturned hat placed on the table was a phone beaming out today's fiery encounter between Rangers and Livingstone.
From the woman's perspective they were engrossed in one another's company, despite his intermittent glances into what appears to be a flatcap dumped on the table.
From his, Steven Gerrard's boys in blue had done enough to secure victory away at the Tony Macaroni Arena.
Determined for his ploy not to be rumbled, the man even placed what appears to be a decoy phone on the table.
The person who took the photograph supplied it to the Daily Star under the conditions of anonymity.
"He was clearly on a date, an early one too by the look of things, but he was much more interested in the match than their chat," they told the paper.
"Fair play to him - he's brave and possibly a bit of a genius."
The man's devious actions were praised by those on social media.
"Is that a decoy phone on the table, too?" one person questioned. "We're dealing with a world class operator here."
The original poster of the photo agreed before speculating: "Yeah, he's double phoned it. That one that's facedown is probably a burner."
Another described the football fan as simply a "genius".
