The Leinster Senior Cup is not the most glamorous of competitions in the world.
Longford Town's Pat Flynn is currently injured as his side were in action last night against Shamrock Rovers. The 30-year-old decided to entertain himself and fool the country in "forgetting" about the game.
It's currently 0-0 at the City Calling Stadium in the Leinster Senior Cup quarter final vs Shamrock Rovers.

The Dubliner was shocked to be missing the game, he decided to get in the car to head to the City Calling Stadium.

Even Shamrock Rovers decided to check in with their former player to make sure he was on the way for the second half.
