If you're pulling off rabona kicks in five-a-side, you'd want to be a damn good footballer.

Anyone with skill in a local knock-about is a "cocky, show-off such and such". Anyone enjoying themselves or trying something audacious is a free target. The warrant goes out to end that f**ker's game. Keep it simple, and all that. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/694648008881872896 But Jack Meehan doesn't need to keep it simple. If a double drag back wasn't enough, the Derry man finished off leaving a defender red-faced by dinking a rabona effort into the top corner. Played out at the Bay Road Soccer Centre in the city, footage was captured of an improvised piece of genius that belongs at a level much higher than five-a-side. The tackler gets drawn out wide, a spin on the ball leaves him for dead but a challenge is incoming from the other side - not before a right leg can be swung around the left heel to finish exquisitely. Not even any of our classic astro goalies could stop this. Think you've seen better at your five-a-side game?
