Abiding memory of Joe Canning is a crunch Fitzgibbon game against UL in 2008, strained his hamstring early and was coming off with an All-Ireland club semi 10 days later. Is walking off when ball goes out for a sideline, proceeds to nail sideline and exit! Different class #GAA

A lot of various theories as to why Rob Hennelly’s ‘45 was retaken but Conor Lane’s body language here definitely suggests that he didn’t want it taken in the first place because of what’s going on behind the kicker. He has his hand up to stop the kick right before it’s taken
