Hemel Hempstead goalkeeper sarcastically dives after long-range strike

A long-range effort from Bath City's Tom Smith brought about cheers and laughter as Hemel Hempstead goalkeeper Sam Beasant sarcastically dived as the ball flew almost 20 yards off target in their National League South game.

The ambitious effort from behind the halfway line from City's top goalscorer was mishit, sending the ball trickling out for a goal-kick. However, the next time Smith had an effort from a closer range free-kick, he cannoned the ball through the wall, as it rose into the net. No laughing matter. The Romans went on to win the game 2-0.

When you accidentally press square instead of circle

That dive reminded of me doing 7+17 on the calculator in the examination just to be sure

[nawwk]

Plot twist: The goalkeeper is severely short-sighted.

[Caoimhin]

Goal should’ve been ruled out for not doing a diving celebration

[vaughnsigal]

The free kick was brilliant, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a worse long range goal attempt though, pretty hilarious

I like how those fans seem to be cheering whichever side does something cool.

When you control the keeper on Pro Clubs

[lillyrose]

Is no one going to mention how the goalie wipes his forehead after that like "whew!" close call lol

[robertdurst]

This is the kind of personality that’s missing from the PL, I love this kind of shithousery in the lower leagues

Me taking control of the goalie in a FIFA game.

0:35 i thought the ref was about to shoot him

[exessex]

Wiping his brow and trying to calm his racing heart were great touches...

[mordkai]

He took "better safe than sorry" to a whole 'nother level

[Fdy]

This guy clearly missed the biggest moment of his career despite scoring that free kick

Coach: "Okay, remember this is a teamwork"
That annoying kid thinking he is David Beckham:

I also love how the goal keeper wipes his brow and holds his heart XD
