It completely changes a scoreboard so fast when you have teams that are capable of doing that now.

And for both teams, the supporters, I just think it's going to be a brilliant build up for the next champs.

I'd love the build up to be a little bit longer.

And I think that's all around that condensed championship again.

You hardly have a time to draw breath.

And now the quarterfinals are going to be upon them.

But for Lowe then for Monaghan, I think, you know, both of them are coming off the back of really good performances.

And, you know, it's going to be one of those games where I think no matter who wins, it's going to be an exciting, such an exciting semifinal for them all.

Yeah.

Yeah, I think, and again, I'm sure the intentions were right.

But when I look across all the stakeholders in the world of the GAA, whether that's media, whether that's supporters, players, management, when you are having a condensed championship where if you just take the top tier alone, you're talking about over 35 games in a few weeks.

Like what Marty said, everything is rushed then.

And if you look at even Clare, Dave McInerney had an ankle he hobbled off

whether or not he's going to be even right.

And even having a two-week break, to be honest, is longer than what some of the players have been allowed.

It doesn't make sense.

Supporters even, David, like financially, if you're going to matches week after week after week with really enthusiastic kids, that's very, very difficult.

Promotion is squashed between golf, rugby, the World Cup.

We're just not letting it breathe.

And I think, you know, we talk all winter about Championship.
