Gaelic coach subs himself on, gets into epic fight

St Brigid's coach Frankie Dolan has subbed himself on in a spiteful clash against Padraig Pearses and immediately got himself into a biff.

Dolan clearly couldn't help himself as the Roscommon Senior Football Championship title match entered its 59th minute, trading in the manager's uniform for a playing kit.

The number 22 then took exception as one of his players was involved in a push-and-shove, getting stuck in to the scuffle.

However Dolan was rag-dolled by one of his younger opponents and spent most of the fight with his jersey pulled over his head.

The referee handed out two red cards for the incident, but Dolan remained safe.

St. Brigid's won the match by seven points to claim their 15th title.
