Please enjoy this dad who pushed his kid over to try and save a goal

Dad of the year.
By Johnny Lieu  on 

We all know an over-involved parent, especially in the realm of kids' sports.

But we can excuse this eager dad who pushed his distracted goalkeeping kid over during a game between the Bow Street FC under 8's and Ysgol Llanilar under 8's in Wales.

As posted by Chris Wilkins on Twitter, the push helps to stop the first attempt, but the opposing striker manages to put in the second.

You can honestly sit back and watch it over and over again.

Were you just watching dad of the year? The internet thinks so.

We guess the moral of the story is that it's funny to push over your children? Yeah? Don't look at us like that.
