Speaking to the Dundalk Democrat after last night's 5-2 win against Shamrock Rovers in Tallaght, Dundalk's Daniel Cleary described scoring his goal as "the best feeling I've ever had."
Giving Stephen Kenny's men a 2-1 lead on the night, Cleary's attention was drawn toward the Rovers boss Stephen Bradley, however.
Heading straight toward Bradley, Cleary's cupped his hear, suggesting that the Shamrock Rovers manager missed a trick when he overlooked the former Liverpool man.
Booked for his celebration last night, Cleary added to the furore surrounding his celebration with a Tweet this afternoon.

His first goal in professional football, Cleary revealed that the goal was made "probably 10 times better" because it was against Shamrock Rovers.
Having spent a portion of pre-season at Rovers on the trial, Bradley ultimately decided Cleary didn't fit the bill at the Tallaght club; an opening that Kenny and Dundalk acted upon quickly.
Cleary has been getting plenty of support for his celebration.
Love it Dan. Great goal. And even better celebration. That shut SB up.
