Who’d be a goalkeeper?
Darren Gleeson is one of the finest in the business. You make as many top-class saves as you like but, the one time you let one by you, you’re a scapegoat. You should’ve kept it out.
Stephen Cluxton grabs the plaudits every single week but his clanger against Down went viral. Because a ‘keeper mistake is a costly mistake.
Galway and Tipperary played out a cracker in Salthill on Sunday as two stunning last-gasp efforts from Joe Canning and John O’Dwyer respectively deadlocked the game 2-19 to 1-22.
Darren Gleeson could do nothing about Joe Canning’s outrageous individual effort in the first period, but he could’ve done something about Galway’s second.
Initally, Gleeson’s reflexes kept the Tribesmen at bay.
But then a soft effort got by him that a man of his own sky high standards will expect more of.
It happens to the best of us.
