2018 All Ireland Senior Football Championship

Sounds exciting! Tap it over?

Incredible drama.

Scores level and Wexford are awarded a penalty.

The Leinster football championship never fails to deliver.

Wow

Level again

Wexford point and the Laois corner back levels it.

Extra time

Had to kick the point from the pen in fairness.

Goal for Laois.

10 points down at one stage, now five points up.

Serves wexford right for not having the balls to go for goal from the penalty

Tbf under the circumstances it was the percentage play. Everyone thought it was done at that point. Fair play Gareth Dillon, 35 yard out, 5 mins into injury time and pings it over from corner back.

Sport is great.

If he went for goal and missed fellas would kill him.

The game was still on and laois got a chance. Simple

You have to back yourself though. Anyone capable of taking a penalty on that Wexford team must be seething.

If you’re 3 points up and get a penalty in injury time you’d probably take a point.

At level, and unless you know for sure it’s the last kick of the game, you fucking bury it. Joe Brolly did from play in the 1998 Ulster final when he could have taken a point.

Don’t die wondering, especially if you’re an underdog.

That’s bollocks Kev. You simply have to go for goal in that situation.

Ive seen a fair few football pens saved the point was guaranteed the goal wasn’t,give yourself the lead when it’s on a plate.

Do in the 70th minute what you would do in the 10th

Yea, can’t see the Dublin team en masse pulling down their Mayo opponents in the 1st minute of an All Ireland Final somehow or other. Probably a few holes in the chicken nugget philosophy.

Bogballers are brutal penalty takers. I’m not surprised yer man went for a point.
