The craziest substitutions ever made....

[imtommygunn]

George Weah's "cousin" by Graeme Souness...

[AZOffaly]

Bringing him on, or taking him off?

[Hereiam]

I was taken off in a U14 game many moons ago....never got over it.

Shane Ryan v Mayo in 06- cost us the game

[give her dixie]

Paul Donnelly Tyrone vs Derry 1995.

He came on at half time IIRC

He came on along with Adrian Cush, if my memory serves me correctly....

[imtommygunn]

Bringing him on. He was some pub player who faked a phonecall and souness fell for it...

Mcgeeney v tyrone 05...

[Dubh driocht]

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!

Think they took of Mattie McGleenan and Ciaran Corr for Cush and Donnelly.

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?

[rrhf]

They changed the game for Tyrone.

Seanie Johnson subbed off after less than a minute of that club hurling match.

[DownFanatic]

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. 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.

Anyone know if he actually touched the sliotar at all in that game?
