Why does this mean so much to so many people?
Why are you here?
Why are you shouting so much against that team who are only from up the road?
I find them to be quite moving things.
The official... Will, obviously, would go all the time.
The official allocation for the competing county is only 16,000 or something like that.
Yeah, they find a way, don't they?
But they do find a way.
That is the point.
It was notable when Jim Gavin did the preemptive symposium with Johan Cantwell on the RT player.
And a lot of the snippets were David Clifford focused.
So kind of examples of him where, as Conor said, he might flourish.
And then like Armagh had won the All-Ireland and used the tactic that most teams had to that point against Clifford was make him run the other way constantly.
And he would try and cheat constantly.
and as in he was encouraged to just stay up but sure that just left an overload and he himself or the management would just tell him to you have to get stuck in here unfortunately whereas now there is like I was at the Armagh Kerry game at the end of the league and he spent most of his time when Kerry didn't have the ball standing under the crossbar like waiting for the ball to come back and it kind of stretches the pitch naturally On that I do wonder what the Gooch thinks of all of this because like

Yeah.
Buy into that.
But he is, you know, I think a lot of people would make that claim now.
