I wish I could just savour this moment.

But I've had to, I can't go on to my social media channels now without seeing these clips popping up of Rory Bagan or Jack McKinney.

I know because even the McCarran kick is so amazing that that's dominated but you can forget that Monaghan were a point down with 10 seconds of extra time to go and then the foul and then Began kicks it and there's four seconds and it's over like even the finale to extra time is unbelievable and the cruelty of sport I mean Derry bring on a very young fella Kearney comes on and it's his first game and he puts the ball over with yeah like you say 30 seconds to go and you're thinking oh my god this young lad has won the match for Derry how unbelievable is that they've seen it out and then the free that's given and

The annoying thing about Rory Bagan is he's so inevitable.

He stood over that ball and I thought, that must be amazing to be him right now.

It's before he's kicked it.

He knows he's won this match.

What a feeling that must be.

It's a 13-yard free for him.

coming close to the post that's backspin as well he's taking some off it just to make it look even nicer and yeah so it was a collapse from Derry but Monaghan went for it and Derry were a bit more process driven and it's hard to argue that because that is what got them into that position and they went through the process over and over whereas Monaghan if I was a Monaghan supporter I'd just be so proud and prouder because the way they played was more fun and more off the cuff like I said and more adventurous and they got their rewards for it yeah

Isn't it interesting, though, that all the talk of Conor Lavery in the screenshot, and we were written off, that always happens in the GAA, whereas Armaz, team talk was probably done because of all the credit that they were getting.

Like, that's all Ciarán McGeaney needed.

It's like, look at everybody talking about them slapping on the back.

Look at the odds changing now.

saying that we're only going to beat them by three points now at the minute.

That's how it's changed and we haven't even played.

They've just played Donegal and they've beaten them and now everybody thinks they're going to beat us.

And he looked like they went, like Gerard of Oakburns was mentioned, he was a man possessed.

He went out on Oren Murdoch and ran him into the ground.

So you don't even need to be written off.
