So Gerard Brennan won't look worse because he's grabbing the earpiece of the trip over.

I think the Jim McGuinness one is slightly worse because it's a player.

And the only thing that stops that not being worse is the optics don't look as bad because it's a little push and that's it.

If another player sees that, if five, six, seven players now run in to a manager who just pushed a player, then we're all here going, what is Jim McGuinness doing?

He's his first year in charge of Dublin who need a kick up the arse as it is and he's not able to get in there and grab it by the neck.

And it's funny, I agree with Gerard Brennan, I have sympathy for him, but I do also think maybe he shouldn't be spending as much time worried about whether the Donegal manager gets suspended or not.

It's not going to impact him really, but I know he's responding to Gerard Brennan's comments about that situation.

And when he used the word irrational, which the solicitor picked out, he actually said, if you want to call it that, so he was obviously reaching for a different word, and that's the word that he came up with.

Maybe if he did it again, he would choose it.

So you mentioned AI, Andoni Araola is in charge of Liverpool.

Oh, segue.

There's a football podcast in your feeds ahead of the game tonight.

And one other thing really to touch on is World Cup fever, or lack thereof, Rory.

So there's obviously two League of Ireland players.

There's a Dubliner going to be playing Spain on Monday week, Pico López.

with Cape Verde.

Joe Anang is playing with Ghana as well, a sympathetic goalkeeper.

And it just feels like, I look at the pictures of the World Cup getting excited because it's yesterday week, it's starting next Thursday.

Yeah, well, Dan's out there.

Sean O'Connor's heading out there as well.
