Mayo's Ger Cafferkey nearly scored an 'own point' in Croke Park

Have you ever seen anything like this before?

FORGIVE US FOR the poor quality of the footage but this is too good to disappear into the archives forever without further mention.

Saturday night’s game between Dublin and Mayo had its fill of controversy and drama — and it very nearly had an “own point” as well.

Yes, that’s right, Ger Cafferkey nearly kicked the ball over his own bar.

The Mayo defender found himself in a footrace with Dublin’s Cormac Costello and as he attempted to fly-kick the ball clear, he very nearly put it between the posts.

Fortunately for him it came back off the upright and dropped for goalkeeper Rob Hennelly who was able to clear up the mess.

Have you ever seen anything like that before?

    @Sèan: I might be older than you Sean, but in my day journalists actually took pride in their work and editors never let anything slip through the cracks.
    Probably ok for you though as judging by your grammar you’re as bad as the 42.
