We're not going to worry about possession.

Maybe it is a reaction to the Kenny era.

We're all guilty of reactionary things, but I think people are okay with that, not least with the carrot of Euro 2028.

Yeah.

Okay.

Um, just before you go, um, Dan, you touched on the likes of a banquet and Boston, the wall and Harvey Vale.

I mean, it was, it was kind of symbolic or no, they all came on the same 61st minute.

It was like, here's the 22 year olds, you know, it had that kind of a moment.

So we'll watch that develop.

But then at the other end of the spectrum is Seamus Coleman, very briefly fellas, uh, children with them.

Don't remember that happening before with Coleman, uh,

um there for the anthem hey hamer we hope seamus will stay on and play with us next season someone said to him then i think subsequently well like if he does step away would you like him even to be part of the coaching setup and hamer said i would like to have him as a player you know he wasn't even exploring the idea of coach uh 37 can 39 year old seamus um be part of squad in a playing capacity for you gary

Yeah, he has been such a phenomenon.

I've lost count of the number of times over the last decade I've gone to the Viva.

Dark days, Dan, and by distance he was our best player.

It was like routine.

So Hamer is very much saying, listen, stay.

Is there a world where, you know, Coleman talked last week about training at 100% every day, almost to my detriment.

Is there a world where not playing many minutes is, you know, there's a freshness to him and like he almost is like a full-time Ireland player training away that he can do it?

Or is this a terrible route to go down?
