Graham Carey isn't a great goalscorer but, by Jesus, he's a scorer of great goals.
That's why, when the 28-year-old Blanchardstown native lobs the 'keeper when the ball is running away from goals, Plymouth Argyle fans shrug their shoulders and reason that they've seen it all before from the attacking midfielder.

Carey is making quite an ordinary habit of the extraordinary these days.
The Dub, who signed for Celtic as a 16-year-old but never made the breakthrough, has been lighting up League One with Plymouth and has five league goals in 21 appearances this season.
The effort on Saturday though during the 2-2 draw away at Blackpool was a little bit special. You might even say it was Carey-esque.
The former Republic of Ireland under-21 sped in behind the home defence and latched onto a flick-on and curled an audacious beauty over the head of the goalkeeper for every travelling Argyle fan to watch it at eye-level drop into the back of the net.

Plymouth are just above the relegation places in League One so every bit of Carey magic helps.
It just helps other things in general too - like life and making it worth living for the normal football fan. And the heroics he produced from what looked like a nothing situation obviously went down a wondrous treat.

The screamer gave Plymouth a 2-0 half time lead but they were eventually undone in the second period and succumbed to a 90th minute equaliser and had to make do with a point for their efforts.
Football is about so much more than points taken and wins and losses though - it really is. It's about memories, and no-one makes memories more beautiful than Graham Carey does.
