Just take a look at what happened when his FC Goa side met NorthEast United in the Indian Super League on Tuesday night (assuming you didn't bother to tune in, that is).
With the ball played back to him by a defender, Laxmikant appears a picture of composure as he stops the ball dead with his first touch. Unfortunately for him, NorthEast United forward Emiliano Alfaro is on to him like a flash, closing him down quicker than you can say "loan move to Turin."
Panicking a bit, it still seems likely that the goalkeeper will be able to hoof the ball to some form of safety. But that's not to be. For no logical reason, he opts to kick the ball straight at Alfaro and as a result, it bounces off him and in to the goal, setting Goa on their way to 2-0 defeat.
https://youtu.be/56JdnZrHfcQ As embarrassing a moment as this was for poor old Laxmikant, the fact that Alfaro has the nerve to celebrate such a chancer's goal so passionately is just as bad. Always chase those lost causes.The GAA Hour pays tribute to the unbeatable Dubs and ask where did it all go wrong for Mayo in the All-Ireland final replay. Listen below or subscribe on iTunes.
