And I haven't won a minor in Ireland since 2014.
Now, for a county like Kilkenny, if you take the previous 20 years by comparison, that's a massive dip.
So something has happened at a developmental level that I wouldn't know or understand.
But the bottom line is that if you don't have the talent to come in and to press...
Then what happens is you have to rely on players who haven't had a lot of hurling, who are injured, who might be out of position.
You might have to play guys in certain positions and you're just kind of vulnerable.
So, yeah, like there were situations like the penalty yesterday that, I mean, the farce of the black card in hurling is just, it's completely ridiculous.
Like if that wasn't a denial of a goal scoring opportunity, I don't know what was, but...
The point is, it was a Kilkenny crossfield ball that was cut out and it was a little bit careless and it was poorly executed.
And like people who know the scene better than I do down there will tell you that the way the Kilkenny are trying to hurl now to be relevant to the current kind of tactical zeitgeist.
It doesn't happen at club level in Kilkenny.
Clubs do not play that sort of hurling.
They are still wedded to a style of hurling that is considered to be much more traditional and sort of an ode to the glory days.
So I think it's a bit of an uncomfortable fit just culturally for the Kilkenny senior hurling team.
And when you're doing it without a massive squad of really talented players, what you have is a season like this.
Yeah, no, it's like I wouldn't ever say that having a Dublin man managing the Dublin hurlers is essential because Anthony Daly was proof as to what somebody can bring to that sort of top end of it, you know, where you need experience at the inter-county scene.
But I think it is preferable, like whereby there's a viable candidate.
And like the thing about Neil O'Callaghan is when he was appointed, he was on nobody's shortlist.
People had not conjured him.
It was before Nafina had even won a Dublin championship.
