Commentary on glaring miss during American GAA final goes viral

A unique commentary on a glaring miss during the Chicago Football Championship final has gone viral.

Former Antrim player Adam Loughran was in goal for his team Pearse's when slicing his close range shot wide of the target.

It was a bad miss but footage of the incident has been shared widely on social media for its accompanying commentary.

Reacting to the moment, one commentator said: "Oh! Jesus Christ, how did he miss it is right. Number 13 Adam Loughran - unbelievable miss."

But then his fellow commentator delivered the line: "He had the girl in the bed but he didn't touch her."

This prompted the other to say: '"Oh lord almighty save us. We'll be up in court tomorrow."

Whatever about the miss and the commentary, the match itself was a high-quality affair with Pearse's beating Parnell's by 4-14 to 1-09.

Among the inter-county players in action were Armagh's Rian O'Neill and Tyrone's Conor Meyler, who are playing football with Parnell's for the summer.
