Damien Delaney Joins Cork City, AS Roma Confuse Everyone By Announcing It

Damien Delaney has just returned to his boyhood side Cork City in the League of Ireland and Italian giants have sparked confusion yet again by announcing his arrival.

Exactly 24 days ago, on their English account, the Giallorossi sent out a tweet thanking the centre-back after it was confirmed his six-season spell with Crystal Palace had come to the end.

Clearly, because of the fact a graphic had been created and '#GrazieDamien' was in the wording, this wasn't a case of someone tweeting on the wrong account - it was intentionally done. That made it all the more perplexing for fans in the replies.

And it seems as though whoever is running Roma's English-speaking account clearly has a thing for the 36-year old as they've wished him well on his latest career move:

We still have no idea why the admin is continuing to endorse Delaney on Roma's platforms but clearly Cork appreciated the gesture.

When we eventually uncover the true reason why Roma's social media team are so high on Delaney, we're in for a great day.

Roma meanwhile, have also produced another bit of Twitter madness in announcing their latest arrival, Bryan Cristante with purposely posting the worst photoshopping ever.

Keep doing bits, folks.
