In fairness, it was some effort.
Stephen McPhail lit up the SSE Airtricity League on Friday night with an absolute belter of a free kick against Limerick.
Shamrock Rovers doubled their lead on the Shannon with an inch-perfect McPhail strike in the first half that was so good it left a ball boy legless.
Either he grew weak at the knees drooling over the left-footed curler, or he just lost the strength to stand when Limerick went two behind.
Either way, it was the perfect reaction that the strike merited.
