Sometimes, things are taken too literally.
Northampton Town have made quite a name for themselves after an Irish man finished off one of the most perfect free kick routines you'll see only a few weeks ago.
And it's clear that the Barnet lads were well warned about being mugged off by the same opposition when it came to their downright disrespectful set pieces.
So, rather than stand back and admire it, the League Two side channeled their inner Zaire. You remember the one: from 1974 against Brazil.

Yep.
So, Northampton line up another free kick at the edge of the box, the routine begins, but one dummy is enough for the Barnet men as one of the players quickly gets sick of their nonsense and runs out to thump the dead ball away.
If that's not enough, a classic squaring up to one of the Northampton players ought to do it. Don't try this shit with me.
You've got the wrong defence.
