LINCOLN CITY'S Paul Farman had to apologise after his ball juggling in the National League fixture against Altrincham led to his side drawing 3-3.
The Imps were leading 3-2 at the time but Farman got himself into trouble by flicking up a backpass from Greg Tempest and juggling the ball before attempting to volley clear.
Unfortunately for the stopper, Alty forward Damian Reeves was just too quick. He closed down Lincoln's number one and blocked his clearance, with the ball bouncing straight into the goal.
The unfortunate error meant the Imps had to settle for a point at Moss Lane and Farman was apologetic after the game.
“I want to apologise to the Imps fans who had come along to watch, because it is just so frustrating,” Farman told the Lincolnshire Echo.
“I was thinking ‘do I take a touch? Or do I hit it first time?'. I got myself in two minds and you should not do that. Unfortunately the lad has closed me down well and I cost us the three points. I can only apologise for that.
“It is very frustrating. I think Greg Tempest deserves credit for how he got on the ball and played it back to me. I am asking for the ball, but I've taken a poor touch and I've kicked it off the lad who has closed me down.
“When this sort of thing happens you just want to get in a little hole in the middle of the pitch. The team get behind you though and I was desperate for us to score and get a winner. You are there to be fired at as a keeper, and it is part of the job.”
