They say a picture is worth a thousand words. If that's the case then we're guessing about 750 of the words this picture is worth need to be bleeped out.
This Saturday, during a football( soccer) match in Scotland, photographer Fraser Johnstone managed to capture a picture that has Twitter cracking up at someone else's misfortune and how very Scottish football the whole situation is.
Specifically, this pic.
\u201cArguably the best picture ever taken at a football match. \ud83d\udcf8 \u26bd\ufe0f \n\nWe would love to know the name of this supporter so he can get some free refreshments at our next match \ud83d\ude02 \ud83e\udd67\u201d— Elgin City F.C. (@Elgin City F.C.) 1658686958
You're looking at Elgin City fan Kevin Russell, who was innocently trying to eat a sausage roll and sip on a cup of soup while standing to the side watching the game.
In a pristine white t-shirt.
Kevin, his snacks and his shirt apparently had a date with destiny. Destiny, apparently, decided to take the form of a ball obliterating that soup.
Kevin himself wasn't seriously burned or otherwise injured in the incident, but the same, heartbreakingly, can't be said for his snacks or his shirt.
Oh, and the team he was rooting for lost 2-0.
The Elgin City Football Club went looking for him to offer free snacks after they saw the picture, turning to Twitter hoping to track him down.
Twitter, however, had a better idea.
Their idea was to have some fun instead.

\u201c@ElginCityFC Not sure that's an appropriate time to dab. Perhaps stopping the ball would have helped him \ud83e\udd14\u201d— Elgin City F.C. (@Elgin City F.C.) 1658686958

\u201c@ElginCityFC That moment you realise that despite how much you love her, it won't last, she's clearly not a keeper.\u201d— Elgin City F.C. (@Elgin City F.C.) 1658686958

\u201cShe hates him, celebrating the smash in the face with a strong dab.\u201d— Nathan (@Nathan) 1658737362
But Kevin shouldn't feel bad.
Sure, his team lost and he didn't get to eat and his shirt got ruined and he's all over the internet now. But hey, at least he's not alone.
Food and flying balls is a sketchy combo, at best.
\u201cI once saw this happen at Bedford Town.\n\nBall skidded off the pitch and fired upwards into a young man\u2019s cup-a-soup at 90mph.\n\nThat was about fifteen years ago and I\u2019d be amazed if he\u2019s got all of it out his hair.\u201d— You Yeltz! (@You Yeltz!) 1658766977
\u201c@ElginCityFC And it reminded me of my brother(recently passed away) having his pint knocked out of his hands watching Bury AFC at Radcliffe last year \ud83e\udd23\ud83d\ude07\u201d— Elgin City F.C. (@Elgin City F.C.) 1658686958
\u201cThis happened to me once courtesy of Joey Gudjonsson in the warm up when the woman in front of me ducked at the last second.\u201d— Rich (@Rich) 1658764876
\u201c@bluedools @jamiestodd @LROYSTON this reminds me when stood on the Kippax Noddy took a pie to the face thrown by an away fan?? Before mobile phones unfortunately\u201d— hatto (@hatto) 1658739424
\u201c@GavYoung6 @ElginCityFC Memories of my old man taking one in the back of the head whilst carrying two soups in the Thatcher's end \ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\u201d— Elgin City F.C. (@Elgin City F.C.) 1658686958
Rest In Pieces, cup of soup.
White t-shirt we hardly knew ye.
Better luck next time Elgin City FC and Kevin.
