It was a game over showboat goal but nice nonetheless
Like the time some Limerick lad lobbed the Cork goalie when the game was over as a contest

Itâs not against the rules to leave the field surely? How else would lads take corners and throws?
You can leave to retrieve a ball or a take a corner / throw in. You can also leave it to avoid a collision with an opponent or member of your own team. He didnât seem to be in danger of any of that. He just ran off the pitch in an arc and came back on 20 yards up field.
I am stretching it a fair bit but just to be a prick Iâd have disallowed it and booked him For leaving the pitch without permission. Send him rightly over the edge.
Iâm sure youâve reffed me before

Capable of anything
He was on firm name terms with a lot of us at Bridge Celtic. He could get very hot over the most inconsequential things
Red card for Talking back to him.
Proper order.
You might just be asking him the most innocuous question
I remember once absolutely butchering a lad about two or three seconds late after he got a shot off. About 10 minutes later Paddy stopped the match and walked very slowly and deliberately towards me in goals - cue the whole sideline roaring at me to shut up assuming I had mouthed off and was getting booked for dissent. I was utterly bemused as to why he was making a b line towards me as I hadnât opened my mouth.
Paddy says to me in a lovely reassuring manner âI should have given a penalty against you there a few minutes ago and you are lucky to still be on the fieldâ fair enough says I but why are you telling me now Paddy. âIt completely slipped my mind a few minutes agoâ before sauntering back up the field
The centre forward exacted a bit of revenge later when he left studs in as I came out to take a loose ball. Caught me across the lower ankle. Paddy lost the head and accused me of all sorts including feigning injury and diving and roaring at me that I shouldnât even be on the pitch and then awarded me a free out

That sounds just like him
He could ate the head off you of a Sunday and youâd meet him at the desk in Shannon of a Monday and heâd nearly wave you off
