Pic: Ahead of the big St Pat’s game tonight, there’s a goat on the loose on the Tallaght Stadium pitch

Well, this is different...

Ireland has a long and proud heritage of animals invading sporting occasions but we can't recall a goat getting up close to the action before. Somehow, two hours before St Pat's play Legia Warsaw in their massive Champions League qualifier, a goat has gotten loose and is running around the Tallaght Stadium surface.

Seriously. A goat on the loose in Tallaght! pic.twitter.com/IzLYxJMnvQ — Tony O'Donoghue (@Corktod) July 23, 2014

And, so far, it has evaded the stewards.
