What ridiculous sporting moment gives you the giggles?

Not so much a sporting moment, but a few years ago when the Irish masters snooker was held in Goff's there was a leak on the roof.
RTE news later that evening:Todays afternoon session of the Irish masters had to be postponed,due to bad weather

Well, I once got a hole in one. That was a hilarious sporting moment.

Alot of tight pinks were potted in Goff's over the years.

The 1992 Tipperary U-21 County Football Final. Commentary provided by "Effin'" Eddie Moroney. Some of the comments during the match from the supposedly unbiased commentator are simply priceless. There are about 10 videos in total covering the whole match.

The reaction to the not-given penalty is brilliant.

I think I'd have to give the gold to Paula Radcliffe on this one-and it was captured on tv too! (NSFW)

A real conversation from a phone-in on Scotland Talk Sport radio after Scotland's draw 2 all with the Faroe Islands in 2002
Presenter: We have Jim on the line who wants to discuss Faroes vs Scotland.

Jim: Thanks... eh yeah. Just want to say it's an absolute disgrace. I mean we were playing the weakest side in world football and we can't do better then a draw.

Presenter: It was a poor result...

Jim: Poor result?? It's absolutely scandalous! The manager has lost the plot completely, he has to go. I know we have never set the world alight over the years on the international stage but I can't remember things being this bad. It's the end for us. The absolute end. We are the laughing stock of world football.

Presenter: Look Jim, I know it looks bad but there is still a long way to go, admittedly there does not seem much chance of you qualifying for 2004 but things will improve.

Jim: I never expected to qualify and don't mind that so much as we are not good enough... but to fail to beat a team like Scotland is a different matter and a real massive blow to everyone on the island.

Foinavon winning the grand national. For those who don't follow racing, he was a pretty mediocre horse and only won because of a massive pile up at a fence that knocked out most of the other runners. Being so behind the field his jockey was able to steer him around the pile up and stay going. Despite this he still could have lost because in the time it took him to pass the post a lot of the jockeys had remounted and were catching up. Nobody would have predicted he'd ever win, even his owner didn't bother going to the race that day.
