Stunning series of tweets from Longford Town player after he *forgot to show up for a cup match

*He was on sick leave

Patrick McCarry

Longford Town exited the Leinster Senior Cup last night but the player that garnered the most attention was miles from Flancare Park and devising some artistic tweets.

Pat ‘Pajo’ Flynn, who was on sick leave from club duty, was scrolling through his phone on Tuesday evening when he came across this tweet.

Upon learning that Town were embroiled in a tight tussle with Shamrock Rovers [his former club], Flynn created this work of social art.

Flynn was only joking, of course, but his tweets gained a lot of traction.

Shamrock Rovers kept him updated as the game progressed.

What followed must be the only tweet ever sent that refers to Longford boss Tony Cousins and fast-food chain Abrakebabra in 140 characters.
