Damien Duff had a hilarious reaction after it was announced goalkeeper Scott van-der-Sluis departed Shelbourne to join the Love Island villa.
Playing time has been limited for the Shels shot-stopper and he was released from his contract in order to join the show.
Shelbourne released a statement on Thursday morning wishing the 22-year-old well and Damien Duff had his say on the matter.

He said: "“I was shocked and saddened that Scott chose a villa in Mallorca full of beautiful single women over myself, the staff and the players," Duff said, jokingly.
"All jokes aside, I thank Scott for his services to Shelbourne FC and we all wish him the very best for the future, whatever that holds.”
And the Welsh net minder also said of his departure: "I’d like to thank Shelbelbourne FC for everything they’ve done for me, the lads, staff, fans and people around the club have been brilliant with me since coming in.
“I’ve loved my time at Shels, Football is all I’ve ever done, all I’ve ever known. So this is a new and exciting opportunity for a change-up in life.
“Shels are a great club going in the right direction and I look forward to seeing what the lads can achieve. Shels is my club now, I look forward to cheering on the lads as a fan.”
