The League of Ireland is the greatest league in the world to many, and tonight hilariously reminded fans exactly why as a water sprinkler brought a match to a standstill.
Late in the second-half of UCD's clash with Shelbourne at the UCD Bowl, a rogue sprinkler forced a stoppage of almost ten minutes.
With fans, some seeing the funny side of the unfortunate malfunction, watching on - officials attempted to control the sprinkler on the touchline.
With play stopped, players were taken to the touchline as a wheelbarrow was used to cover up the sprinkler - hilariously leading to another then going off.
Officials did eventually iron out the issue, but not before losing a whopping eight minutes of game time - which were added on at the end of the game.
But neither side could use the lay-off to their advantage as the two teams could only manage a scoreless stalemate.
