I don't know on what planet you can have Kerry as favourites to beat Donegal again this season, if that comes around.

So that's huge.

But as regards this, like the ban is...

We were all reminded of how penal the ban was when Gerard Brennan got it.

And I don't think there's many people who argued that he deserved to miss 12 weeks and what will end up possibly as seven games, which is hugely penal because there's so many games in the season now, that's a massively penal ban.

But the rule exists and it was applied to Gerry Brennan and he left himself vulnerable to how penal that rule is by putting his hands on the Galway Stretton conditioning coach.

That's the bottom line.

Jim McGuinness has done the exact same thing.

I would not like to see Jim McGuinness banned.

The GAA summer is far better for when Jim McGuinness is around.

He's such a big player, maybe the dominant person in the entire Gaelic football summer, which is a huge thing to say.

It's a good point, yeah.

And if he does get suspended, 12 weeks will be incredibly penal and far, far too big for what he had done in that situation, which was put his hands on Dermot O'Connor, mistaken him for the person who had split Ryan McHugh.

But...

If he does get banned, it's his own fault because he is the one who did it.

It's not Tommy Rooney's fault.

It's not the Sunday Games fault.

And it's not any other media outlet's fault.

He has left himself vulnerable to the application of that rule by doing what he did.

And I'm sure that they're waiting sort of with bated breath over whether they're going to be cited because it's a different dynamic now.
