And...

You'd like to see a little bit more joy around the league finals, a little bit more joy around winning something, you know, closing out a competition and winning it.

And I didn't see it from them.

No matter what way...

you end the game.

If a team

If a team has a lead and they have possession, they're going to try and keep that possession for as long as possible.

Whether the Hooter is stopping straight on 70 minutes, whether the ball has to go out of play, or if the referee is deciding.

If you remember the 2017 All-Ireland Final, Dublin got the winning score from Dean Rock after, in about the fourth minute of seven prescribed minutes of injury time.

It went up to eight, even eight and a half after that.

But they kept the ball for...

basically for the four minutes after that.

And you see that all the time, no matter where.

So I don't think the possession is the issue with the Hooter.

It's the encouragement it gives for cynical fouling that you can play against the clock.

So keeping the ball is going to happen anyway.

But if you know that that clock stops dead on 70 minutes, you're going to try and foul the ball.

And obviously, if you don't... And the issue with Meath at the weekend was...

Player James Conlon brought down his opponent, but he didn't then try to stop the free.

If he had tried to stop the free from being taken quickly, that would have been a 50 meter advancement, but actually dragging down a player.
