Fermanagh scored one of the most bizarre goals you'll see against Dublin

How on earth was this given?

FERMANAGH GAVE A fine account of themselves in this afternoonโ€™s All-Ireland senior football championship quarter-final against Dublin โ€” losing out 2-23 to 2-15 at Croke Park.

However, referee Padraig Oโ€™Sullivan and his umpires made a truly awful decision by awarding their first goal, which arrived 63 minutes in.

Dublin goalkeeper Stephen Cluxton collected the ball under his crossbar, before Fermanaghโ€™s Sean Quigley came charging in to bundle him over the line illegally.

โ€œIโ€™m not quite sure what happened with it,โ€ said Fermanagh manager Peter McGrath afterwards. โ€œI think he challenged Stephen Cluxton and he went behind the line with the ball.โ€

Thatโ€™s putting it lightly.

    Feel sorry for george ford he will be blaming himself he should have had the game closed out in second half . Have to give him credit for his first half display though.

    Fair play to saints. Reacted really well following their thrashing at the hands of Leinster.
