Even with his forays up the pitch, while he has the ability to kick long range points with that right foot piston, he is quite slow and cumbersome in possession and got caught out yesterday not for the first time. You would have to question the judgement of a pundit who gave him MOTM yesterday after conceding 3 goals. That must be a first for a goalkeeper. I thought Paddy Lynch deserved it but Faulkner was very good too.It was Philly McMahon who gave it to him. I agree it was silly, but to give some context he gave it late into injury time and literally seconds before Lynch scored the 3rd one. He then even joked that he made the call too soon. Not sure why they need to make the call before the game is over though
It was a nonsense call from McMahon whether it was made just before or just after the goal.
Lynch gathering a pass and kicking to an empty net shouldn't have made a difference to the decision.
He had kicked 8/8 frees, got a beauty from play and his contribution won Cavan the game. Beggan had failed to make a save for 2/3 shots he faced up to that point, had missed a free and a 45. Was one excellent save, a couple of frees and one shot from play in a game they were losing by 3 with time up really enough? I don't think so.
