WATCH: Darren Randolph’s insane save in training will ease Irish fans’ worries about lack of game time

Sit down, Payet

Darragh Murphy

“The Republic of Ireland’s first choice goalkeeper needs to be playing week-in, week-out.”

Not with magic like this he doesn’t.

Darren Randolph will almost certainly be Martin O’Neill’s go-to stopper at Euro 2016 and he’s proven that his hands are absolutely safe as houses whenever he’s been called upon.

Adrian’s understudy at West Ham was between the sticks in training on Thursday when a volley from Dimitri Payet seemed destined for the top corner.

But that wasn’t taking the flexibility and reflexes of Randolph into consideration as the 28-year-old took to the air and silenced what would have been the loudest of screamers.

What a bloody save!
