We go again
Being a goalkeeper is a tough gig. Make a mistake, it'll almost certainly be a costly one - especially at the very top level.
Only last week, we saw what happened when David Marshall - Scotland's hero in qualification - strayed a little too far from his penalty area.
This time around, it's Martin Dubravka, whose
attempts to palm a looping ball over his crossbar went disastrously wrong in Slovakia's defeat to Spain.
As was the case with
Marshall a week ago, images of Dubravka's moment of misfortune were ideal for another of our Photoshop Challenges. We promise it will not always focus on goalkeepers.
For those not aware, the concept is a simple one. We give you a photo and ask you to use your imagination. The creativity and sheer childishness of the replies never ceases to amaze us.

Here are some of the best replies. We'll be updating this but strongly advise you to have a look at the replies to the tweet, as three or four masterpieces will inevitably slip through unnoticed.
Ready? Of course you're ready...
David Marshall
The perfect starting point. Continuing on nicely from last week, @JT13RUH imagined Dubravka coming to the rescue of a stricken Marshall. Beautiful.

Lady Gaga
Who the fuck looks at that image and thinks "I know, Martin Dubravka would look good as a pair of Lady Gaga earrings"? Well, @muecadepato, that's who. We don't fully understand it, but that's not important. It's fantastic.

Volleyball
Tom Glenwright was by no means alone in sending an image of Dubravka playing volleyball, but that doesn't mean we don't appreciate it. This one works extremely well.

Hollywood
Plenty drew inspiration from the silver screen. From a Sly Stallone special, to escaping the jaws of a Megalodon, the responses were as diverse as ever. Oh, and look out for the Mission Impossible sequel.
