I nearly spilled my morning coffee when this gem landed on my timeline yesterday. Listen. We've all done embarrassing things on social media, but this one from Doncaster's manager takes the cake.

When Championship Celebrations Go Hilariously Wrong

Doncaster Rovers have had one hell of a season. They clawed their way to the top of League Two and clinched the championship on the final day - a proper nail-biter that had me pacing around my living room even though I support Barnsley (don't tell my mates). The title was secured after they beat Notts County away while Port Vale crumbled at home against Gillingham.

Saturday's trophy presentation was all smiles and champagne. Standard stuff.

The Trophy Bedroom Tradition

Taking the silverware to bed has become something of a football tradition lately. Remember when Pep slept with the Premier League trophy back in 2018? My brother-in-law tried the same thing with his Sunday League cup and his wife nearly divorced him.

Grant McCann, Doncaster's 45-year-old boss, clearly wanted his moment. Fair play to him.

The Northern Irishman posted what was supposed to be a cute pic of himself "sleeping" next to the EFL trophy on Sunday. "Afternoon kip with this beautiful thing," he wrote, complete with heart-eyes emoji. Adorable, right?

Caught in 4K

Wrong.

Took about 3 seconds for fans to notice something was... off. The trophy's reflective surface betrayed our man completely - showing his arm extended, phone in hand, very much AWAKE and taking a selfie while pretending to be asleep.

God. I'm getting secondhand embarrassment just thinking about it. Poor McCann.

Social Media Shows No Mercy

Twitter (or X, whatever we're calling it these days) absolutely feasted on this blunder. One person just replied with about 20 laughing emojis, which honestly might be teh most appropriate response possible.

"Generational stinker," wrote one user, which feels harsh but... accurate?

Another fan commented: "Haha that reflection - much deserved pose!!" At least they were being nice about it.

My personal favorite: "How did you take this while you were asleep mate?" Sometimes the simplest burns hit hardest.

Not His First Rodeo (But Maybe His Most Awkward)

This isn't McCann's first championship celebration. He led Hull to the League One title back in 2020-21, though I've spent 20 minutes scrolling through his old posts adn couldn't find any embarrassing trophy bedroom selfies from that campaign.

I texted my friend who's a diehard Doncaster supporter about this whole fiasco. His response: "We'll forgive him anything after this season. But maybe stick to champagne showers next time."

Honestly, despite the social media fumble, McCann deserves his moment. Taking Doncaster from mid-table mediocrity to champions in one season is no small feat.

The Trophy Selfie Hall of Shame

This incident got me thinking about other trophy celebration fails I've witnessed over the years. Remember when that non-league chairman dropped the FA Vase during the presentation? Or when that goalkeeper tried to pop champagne and it exploded all over the club owner's $4K suit?

But there's something uniquely hilarious about being caught faking sleep in your own selfie. Like pretending to be surprised at your own birthday party when you planned the whole thing.

The lesson here? If you're going to stage a trophy-in-bed photo, maybe check the reflective surfaces first. Or just admit you're awake and own it!

Either way, congratulations to Doncaster. Just maybe let someone else take the photos next time.
