He's gotten used to them because they were playing the All-Ireland Final, the club final.
He got used to Roscommon playing without them and he backed the young players and they just drove the thing on and they're better than maybe people bargained that they would be.
And Ben O'Carroll out injured, again, that was a bit of a what's going on there?
And Mark Dowd just pulls his rabbit from the hat.
They got hammered by Mayo in the championship, but he holds himself in this sort of confident manner.
The difference you're talking there about Jason Sherlock and how well set up they were, but
Andy Moran saying that afterwards is something you'd hear in the 90s.
Like, you know, they wanted it more.
Players don't want to hear that.
It does get said a lot more at the moment with the new rules.
But again, and I know the kick-outs have a big thing, but Andy Moran almost accepting when we lost the kick-out, what can you do?
Gerard Brennan said it.
I can't remember the exact wording but in effect it was like at a certain point all the tactics blah blah blah it was against Armand are they just going to get up and win the ball kind of a thing but it's the one thing I remember in a club championship semi-final this year we were going in we were ahead in the match but we were getting cleaned out in midfield and there was a big discussion between the management team what are we doing and somebody said we just have to tell them they win the ball and then it was like we can't
we have to tell them what to do we have to put them into the positions we have to help them out here we can't just say you have to win it because the players especially at that level what they've gone through to go and represent Mayo they will want to win that ball if they're in a position to win that ball but if they're not then they are going to start looking around being like what's going on here they've got a number on us here and what are we doing to respond and then you've even looked at
Like this is new rules.
This is the modern game.
You have Conor Loftus at number six.
Beautiful footballer.
Very good, yeah.
But Ross Common, look at that as a weakness.
