Calmest man on the pitch today as he scored the goal which clinched Newport Countys survival in the Football League at the expense of Hartlepool.

The fall from grace continues as he joins Southport on loan.

Was just reading about it, delighted for him (and a little for Hartlepool after Stelling's antics).
Mark O'Brien Twitter

I couldn't help notice a Balls.ie tweet on Saturday saying "Incredible scenes. Absolutely gutted for Jeff."
They did make a 'by the way' reference to "Dubliner Mark O'Brien" in the article that went along with the tweet, but you'd think for any self respecting Irish sports website that would have been the story.
Or, indeed, as one person also replied, "Forget over the top Jeff, more gutted for @padraigamond21".
Anyway, the BBC paid a nice little tribute to Newport's great escape...

Mark O'Brien, a name which will forever be remembered by Jeff Stelling of Sky Sports:

The three different reactions are what we have all felt at times and this time I don't think it's just Sky hype.
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
Extensive and very good interview with O'Brien on Newstalk while ago. Was going around on circles for a bit at the start but I'd blame the questions more than him for that. Worth listening til the end I think when it's up on the podcast.
Interview here... might have to skip past a little bit at the start.
