Armagh have an outfielder in goals against Cavan and he really does not want to be in goals

No gloves, no positional sense, no desire to play in goals.

Paul Courtney is a fine footballer. He was on the Armagh panel a few years back. As an outfielder. Both he and Charlie Vernon were renowned ball-players in their college days at Queen's in Belfast. As midfielders. On Sunday though, Kieran McGeeney recalled the Ballyhegan native for Armagh's opening championship clash with Cavan. As a goalkeeper. https://twitter.com/DeclanBogue/status/736922074116202496 https://twitter.com/DeclanBogue/status/736923839838457856 It didn't look the most natural thing in the world. Courtney's goalkeeping attire was unconventional and his play was unbelievable. It started with no gloves. Then he started playing short kickouts and going for the return like a sevens 'keeper. Then he just started hanging around out the field to see what would happen. This is not a goalkeeper. He tried to make a stop without the gloves. After that? Well then he just decided he wasn't playing in goals anymore. He faced off with Martin Reilly for a second half penalty but had no luck. If no gloves weren't enough, the sight of a goalkeeper wondering around the opposition 45' had the GAA community spitting out its collective tea. https://twitter.com/darrenm527/status/736932342942556160 https://twitter.com/MaradonaSlide/status/736925279579410432 https://twitter.com/bmccole111/status/736933023405486080 Even the experts were weighing in. https://twitter.com/antomasterson1/status/736931369385885696 https://twitter.com/antomasterson1/status/736934773080399872 According to Mr Brolly, Courtney was brought into the panel just two weeks ago and was clearly used by Kieren McGeeney for a strategy to run the ball from deep and restart the games quicker. It didn't pay dividends but not because of his individual performance. Armagh just weren't at the races and went six points down by the time half time came around and lost 2-16 to 0-14 in the end.
