Of all the squads in the country, they're the ones with the most hive mind.
So McGeaney is the guy in there who's saying, well, it's up to you guys what you want to achieve.
And it's up to you guys what effort you want to put into it.
But this is what's worth achieving and this is what you have to do to do.
So I thought that line kind of struck me as well.
But there's no way that players are turning around to Ciarán and going, come on Ciarán, let's shake a leg for the Ulster Championship here.
Yeah.
You know, the whole thing about...
So I just have it down that the Ulster Championship means so much to people like McGeaney because that is the, when he considers, you know, when people like McGeaney were young, that's all you had.
You know, you didn't get into the All-Ireland Series unless you won the Ulster Championship.
And I think that still resonates with people.
GA people of a particular age who kind of grew up pre the qualifiers in football and hurling that's why the Munster Championship means so much to people from Munster partly the rivalries are a thing as well but also because it was all you had like you didn't think about that other thing because you had to win the big thing
And that was almost like some sort of, you know, tropical landscape, the idea of an all-Ireland series.
He is because that's the way he's built.
Of course he's built like that.
Like Jim Gavin once said in 2013 in the press conference after winning the All-Ireland, look, the reality is we're already behind the likes of Mead and Kildare because they're back training.
So there are people who think like that.
And that's the way McGinney's competitive brain goes.
But somewhere in his kind of heart or soul or whatever it is when he thinks about football that way, there's an enormous attachment to the significance of winning an Ulster Championship, even if it's only...
Symbolism, you know, like obviously the job's not done.
