We had to sub a goalkeeper ( my cousin) for being too tired 20 odd minutes into an university game.
We were getting hammered by Coleraine and he had to run after the ball so many times, from Coleraine shots; that he was naggered.
Senior league match about 6 years back.
Sub goes on in second half. Literally 2mins later, another sub comes on and the other sub is called back off.
"We meant to put Joe soap on actually and not you" was the explanation offered.

I was going to say bringing on Enda Sheedy (ex Dub) for Mayo v Fermanagh in Markieviecz in 2003. But I checked and to my surprise he started the game. Must have been so out of the game that I thought he came on late on in the game. All I remember was he was so out of touch with the pace of the game that day.

Has any sub who came on with just a few minutes left ever made a difference in a GAA match?
If they did they must be among a very elite club.
99.999999999999999% of subs made after the 65th minutes are pointless and there's probably a good argument to made that no substitutions should be allowed in the last 5 minutes.

John Duffy came on fairly late for us against Armagh in Breffni in 1993 and rescued a draw with 2 last minute points.

Found more info on this
QuoteAnd they tried. They pushed. In 1993, they drew with Armagh in Enniskillen and really had them on the ropes in the Athletic Grounds. Brewster recalls the scoreboard: they were nine points up with five minutes left and Armagh had 14 men.
Denis Hollywood, his friend and team-mate from Queen's University, came on from the bench with seven minutes left. Denis hit 2-1 before anybody knew what was happening, and deep in injury-time centre back John Grimley arrived in the Fermanagh square to deliver the coup de grace for the Orchard County. Three goals and Fermanagh were out on a scoreline of 1-16 to 4-8.
Looks like a serious contender for the exclusive "subs who came on in the last 10 minutes made made a difference club"

QuoteOn a tar-melting afternoon in June 1993, Brian McEniff's injury-riven All-Ireland champions trailed by three points to Armagh in the closing quarter.
Duffy was warming up and, sensing that the manager was thinking of experience, he remembers saying: "Look, Brian, that game's there to be changed. I think I can do something". McEniff looked at him for a moment; he had known Duffy since the player was about 10 years old. "Right," he said. "You're going in."
He kicked a point with his first possession, then won a free which Tony Boyle converted and, with oxygen all but out, landed a deathless equaliser, an angled left foot shot kicked through a slender gap among converging orange shirts.
"The age of miracles is with us still," was how Paddy Downey began his account of the day in this paper. Donegal survived: Duffy marked his full debut by helping himself to 1-2 from play, the goal a left-foot bullet conjured from nothing.
Also looks like a decent candidate for the club - the fact that this report says last quarter muddies things a bit.
The fact that both of those are 20 years plus does give an early indicator of how scarce an event a super-sub in GAA is.
Also trying to find reports on old matches is way tougher than it should be.
I'm off to try and think of other possible candidates.

From memory did the referee, a certain M. Cranney from Down not have more of a bearing on this game? Donegal were dead and buried that day until the ref decided to take matters into his own hands and effect the result.

Yeah thought of him last night thinking of recent years.
Came on the 51st minute in the final and at half-time in the semi in 2011
Old article on him as supersub and lists a few other candidates from down the years
http://www.independent.ie/sport/gaelic-games/gaelic-football/mcmanamon-ready-to-carry-supersub-burden-for-dublin-29589921.html
The thing is that my main point was that very late subs generally have no chance of making an impact and that managers should be making substitutions earlier in game - basically I'd say a manager should just keep 1 sub or 2 if they are really conservative past the 60 minute mark.
Paul Donnelly Tyrone vs Derry 1995.
Biggest sub impact in sport must be Sheringham and Solksjaer in 99.
Taffe in 95 final must be one of the best and strangest. Came on as sub, scored winning goal, subbed off.
Weirdest substitution I had was managing a Ladies Minor team and we were destroying the other team. I took one of the girls off 10 mins into the 2nd half and she started bawling her eyes out.
I tried to tell her it was because we were stuffing the other team/she would be on the next match etc. etc. but nothing would work.
One of the subs came over and said that her boyfriend was there and she was devastated at being taken off!!! It was the beginning of the end for me in terms of Ladies Football!!
Also heard a good one about our Club about 20 years ago.
"Here if you don't start doing something in that full forward line I'm going to take ye off you're giving us nathin"
He surveys the bench which has a severe lack of quality...
"Who are you going to put on?!"
"NOBODY!! AND WE'D STILL BE BETTER OFF!!!!!"

McGeeney, 10 minutes to go in '05 semi-final v Tyrone.
This one still baffles me
Never played corner back in my life, always forward my whole career right from underage. That is until one summer's evening we were playing who would become that year's SFC champions..
My first year at senior; including pre-season challenges only about my 3rd or 4th match. Manager calls me off the bench and sends ME on at corner back for the remaining 25 mins to mark a county player no less (of which there were several on the opposing team).
At first I was dumping the trunks. I was built like an empty wetsuit. Us down by 8, I was hardly going to steady the ship.
I thought f**k it, I'll get tore in here whenever the ball is put in and when it's at the other end I'll give this c**k some bad manners and see how things go. Worst thing is it is probably not my lowest moment in football!
To no avail. Queue ball number one played in: point. Ball number two: point. Three: assist. Four: point. etc etc. I would say it was no more than ten minutes before I was back sat where I was 10 mins previous.

Every club in ireland has had this one, one of the main men who is also a good soccer player, has missed 99% of pre season due to soccer commitments, gets left out of the starting 15 for the opening league game so as to let the lads know there is no favouritism, 15 mins in and he is on for the not so talented player who has bust his ass at pre season who is never seen in senior football for the rest of the year but plying his trade an hour before for the reserves! lol

Has anyone ever heard the supposed reason for this substitution? Was it Kernan or Big Paul who made it?
Many moons ago, I was splaying in a local derby, Swinford against Kiltimagh, and it was the sort of game where you had to get your retaliation in first as there mightn't be a second opportunity to do so.
Anyway, we were all having great fun in the pissing rain and most of us sledging all around because the poor ref had given up all hopes of keeping the game under control. Coming near the end, the Culchie full back flattened his man and all hell broke loose. As honour and duty demanded, I looked around to take a swipe at the nearest blue jersey.
Matter of fact , I think one of the linesmen got clocked too because he was daft enough to try and intervene between two lads who were hard at it.
Finally, some sort of order was restored and our full forward was carried off. What pissed our side off completely, was that the ref didn't send the transgressor to the line.
The sub coming on decided to remedy that injustice.
So he trotted onto the field at a steady pace and passing by the culprit he gave him an elbow jab on the back of the head and well and truly banjaxed him to the cheers of the Swinford fans.
Our fella thought the ref wasn't looking as he was facing the other way while he wrote something in his notebook.
Unfortunately, the hoor happened to swing around at that very instant and without any delay he blew his whistle and pointed at the far sideline. No doubt whatever, it was an open and shut case. None of us had the neck to even complain as our lad kept trotting until he reached the sideline on the other side. He didn't alter his stride in any way as he trotted onto the field and kept moving until he left the field again.
That boyo should be in the Guinness Book of Records as the substitute who spent the least time on the field.

I was over our third team about 3/4 years ago. Sunday evening game and as usual numbers would be tight.
One of the lads works as a vet but was on call, said he'd play if I held his phone and if it sounded serious to take him off.
Into second half and phone goes. Your man on the other side starts talking and asking for advice as one of his calves was having trouble walking and was walking sideways into the walls. I told him I'd ring back in two minutes and called your man ashore and off he went to see the calf.

Still, James should have over-ruled him- McComiskey was on fire and rule one of management is never take off a man on form.
Rule two is never take off your only left-footed free-taker when you are one down in a championship match and you've won a free 20 metres out on the right-hand side in the last minute. POR in Ballybofey 2006!

They needed to play possession with being down to 13 so they brought on runners.
Great substitution by the management team.... whys it on here?.... irony?
They changed the game for Tyrone.
Seanie Johnson subbed off after less than a minute of that club hurling match.
The McComiskey AI Final 2010 one was cryptic.
There was always a rumour going around that Down had a set of pre ordained substitutions for games. There was a mess up on communication on the line and obviously one part of the management overuled the other.
McComiskey was on fire that day with three points and who knows what might of happened had he stayed on the pitch.

At the time I thought the indication and chat was more about who was put on rather than who was taken off.

Paul McComiskey 2010 AIF
Aristo, do you think it was James, Tally or Mc Iver who made this decision ? My money is on Tally- all that year he seemed to suggest taking off the same players, regardless of how they were playing. Still, James should have over-ruled him- McComiskey was on fire and rule one of management is never take off a man on form.
Rule two is never take off your only left-footed free-taker when you are one down in a championship match and you've won a free 20 metres out on the right-hand side in the last minute. POR in Ballybofey 2006!
At the time I thought the indication and chat was more about who was put on rather than who was taken off. I was told by a man sitting next to a former down legend (3 All Ireland Medals) that the legend got to his feet and shouted "FFS that Jerome Johnston one again" (reference it was Jerome's unsanctioned decision to put fellow Kilcooite Lavery on).
Anyway it's all folklore now.
Remember the POR one too. Despert stuff.
Kinda like Down's invincibility in AI finals....or is that myth?
At least Down stayed 'invincible' in the 5 years they won Sam.
Clown.

Paul Murphy had a stormer of a first half for Derry against Dublin in the 2007 AI quarter-final, kicked three points from play. Taken off at half-time.

John Duffy came on fairly late for us against Armagh in Breffni in 1993 and rescued a draw with 2 last minute points.
the referee rescued you guys that day
it was a clear push on collie hanratty fro the equalising score
for me craziest decisions
