A Saturday League team brilliantly trolled their manager by telling him they'd lost a penalty shootout - after he refused to watch it.
Irlam Tigers FC were involved in a quarter-final penalty shootout after a 1-1 draw with FC Unsworth and manager Mike Carts refused to watch the shootout.
The players went on to win the shootout 4-2, but pranked their manager with their reaction.

Check out the footage below.
Carts can be heard consoling his players and telling them 'you did your best lads'.
What follows is total bedlam as the players swarm around their manager and dance with him to celebrate their progression to the Manchester Amateur Cup semi-final.

Fans on Twitter reacted to the clip and the players' expert trolling job.
Well done boy! Sorry @irlamMike 😂
We don’t know what it’s like to win a penalty shootout. Looks exciting though.
They'd all be on the transfer list next day if they did that to me 🤪🤣
Scenes, well in lads 👍🏻

It's further proof that the world of Weekend League football can be untouched by any form of the sport.
One of the most famous Sunday League tales involves JK Silvertown FC manager Benjamin Short investing in a card machine.
The 34-year-old, from Rayleigh, Essex, was fed up with 'pisstakers' who only brought their bank card to training and match days.
"I have limited the amount of excuses from the lads with this idea." Short told SPORTbible last year. "I don't like being left with invoices to pay when players make up silly excuses.
"We train at a local school which is expensive as well."

"I have also changed the signing on fee." he said. "I've set it as £30, so that's the maximum for contactless payments. They can just slap their card on the reader."
Despite all this, you have to think Cants won't appreciate if his players try the same trick should they get to the final.
