And, like, if the same thing happened this year, it would feel far more consequential.

Because, like, you know, Kerry still got a game... Like, they just... They were slightly discommoded.

Whereas this year, it would put them in to have to play an extra match.

It just... It does feel like they've put an extra kind of consequence.

And the other thing is...

Dublin, or not Dublin, Donegal and Kerry are going to play each other in that first round.

Both of them will still be in the Championship when it's all over.

But there's something great about getting them all together early because they spark off one another.

It's a little bit like Cork and Limerick could end up playing each other in their hurling five or six times this year.

Between everything, yeah.

And you're writing extra chapters in all of these things.

I admire referees when they do things like that to get the right decision.

I remember in Crow Park at a match a couple of years ago, and I can't remember, I can't even remember who the ref was.

And there was an incident that had just happened and the referee went in to talk to the umpire, the umpire behind the goals at the canal end.

And he was discussing what had happened.

And just as he did, I could see the umpire, and you can see it back in the footage, the umpire said, keep talking to me there, it's coming up on the screen.

And they have no facility to consult the screen.

But once he saw it, he said, yeah, that's right.

And he gave him the right information.

And like, he wasn't entitled to do that.
