Well, it is like in fairness to the one in Crowe Park, I think it's designed to kind of wake the dead or something like that.

But see, the thing that's going to come into this now is the degree to which fouling will come back into it, because the opposite side of the coin is that if you're the team that's trying to get the ball off the opposition because they're keeping possession and running down the clock.

Actually, the only sort of cast iron or closest to cast iron way of doing it is foul them straight away because you can be chasing the ball for two minutes.

But if you foul, they have to use a man to take the free.

Now, obviously, they can solo and go and teams will bring up the goalkeeper so that you don't have the extra man.

But what's going to happen very quickly is, you know, no matter who has the ball, you're going to have... And then you see referees because the referee was stopping the clock yesterday.

So you can have like a last...

40 seconds of a match that goes on like a basketball match for three minutes nearly.

So that's another thing that's going to develop as well, like the ability of teams to press the opposition and try and get the ball back.

Like at one stage, Cork had their goalkeeper came out, a bit like Gavin Mulroney, and stood to whichever mid player was the furthest one forward.

So at least they had an extra man to press the ball.

But teams are so good at keeping it now.

Like their evasion skills...

Hi, Joe.

All energy, isn't it?

We're all so precious, aren't we?

Like, it's just nonsense.

Of course they're going to think that.

That's what they're supposed to think.

They're the opposition.
