He decided to grin and bear it when he came across a prank in England
And with his team beaten by an England XI at Stamford Bridge, the broadcaster did not hesitate in its withering verdict.
“Desperate times call for desperate measures,” said the Scottish comedian, alongside presenter Alex Scott.
He smiled and applauded the fans as he continued – clearly excited.
But Stirling and Co continued to suffer as England claimed a 6-3 victory – their first in the annual charity game for six years.
The 36-year-old wasn’t the only celebrity to be dazzled by the football spotlight.
Cruiserweight fighter and former Love Islander Tommy Fury confused fans by throwing an UNDER-ARM throw.
Tyson Fury’s younger brother threw an aerial kick so hard he could have put a boxing glove between his boot and the ball.
In contrast, manager Steven Bartlett went from Dragons’ Den to a fairytale of his own with two goals for England as a substitute.

That’s because Bolt was carried away on a stretcher after appearing to twist his ankle while trying to tackle England substitute Jermain Defoe.
Viewers, however, had mixed opinions about Stirling’s arrival.
Some felt that his preparation took the frenzy out of an entertaining second half, in which an English team led by Frank Lampard and Robbie Williams dominated.
One fan posted: “This Ian Stirling comedy replacement was the most drawn out thing…”
The broadcaster regularly asked viewers for donations of £40 – as the amount raised for Unicef by the match exceeded £15 million.
And as Stirling continued to comment on his arrival on the field, some fans grew impatient.
One posted: “I’m just donating in hopes they stop this joke.”
Not the most charitable comment to make when, for a good cause, Stirling is trying to raise pounds sterling!
