Yeah.

It's hard to believe.

But it was always, you know, I know from playing against them, fabulous footballers.

It was the jinking and the evasive run by Ryan O'Donoghue, and, ah, it just was...

And the, you're right, the confidence of youth, the composure of youth, and Peter Canavan did it.

The Gooch did it.

It's not about blasting.

The letter will be handed in during a protest outside Croke Park, which will be held later today, organised by the GAA Drop Allianz campaign.
