The 'Paula Radcliffe'

A 'messy follow through',
generally screwing up at the last minute//
often used in terms of sport (such as missing an open goal and similar).
derived from the marathon where Paula Radcliffe had to relieve herself.

The 'Paula Radcliffe' example:

Sam and Danny are watching a hockey match, where Max misses an open goal;
'That was a Paula Radcliffe mate! Owned!'
