If you've noticed the hashtag #cointoss trending on Twitter over the last 24 hours, it's down to the ludicrous decision to force Dublin and Clare's camogie teams to be entered into the drawing of lots to decide which side advances further in this year's All-Ireland.

Indeed, both sides have shown their justified disappointment by pulling out of this morning's draw.

As some of you may know, Ireland experienced the drawing of lots at Italia 90, although there was a little less hinging on it.

With both Big Jack's side and the Netherlands already through to the World Cup second round - but with the exact same record in their group - it was down to FIFA and Sepp Blatter to draw lots in order to determine whether Romania or the Netherlands would be our first knockout opponent.

As history delightfully shows us, we got Romania who we overcame on penalties to continue the adventure in Italy.

But let's rest on that country, Italy. Back in 1968, the Azzurri hosted the European Championships, ultimately going on to win a tournament which also featured the Soviet Union, England and Yugoslavia in a four-team format.

On June 5th, 1968 they faced the Soviets in the semi-final in Naples, three days before the scheduled final in Rome.

However, with that match ending 0-0 and seeing as penalty shootouts were not used at the time, a coin toss was used to determine the finalist.

Fortunately for Italy, the luck was with them as captain Giacinto Facchetti called tails and saw fate flipped in his favour.

Funnily enough the final also ended in a draw between the Italians and the Yugoslavs, with the host nation going on to prevail in a replay two days later.
