You seem to think he should have hoofed it up the line or out of touch.He was by the left hand touchline playing the ball into an area where he would reasonably expect to be. Where’s the logic in that? Yes, hoofing it upfield or into touch would have been infinitely more sensible.
Additionally, for the second goal his time attempting to catch the goalscorer was spent slowing down to a trot whilst appealing to the linesman for offside.
Both Mullarkey and JJones were better players alongside Hannigan and I suspect they continue to need that knowledgable old head. They cannot succeed alongside each other.
