Oh, Jesus.

You know what I mean?

You even see some of the balls, like, you know, being sprayed into Galan or if it's the Bud O'Brien.

Some of the balls being played in, lads, you can't defend against.

to be fair definitely tougher in your area in terms of balls the pace of just balls being hit from further back to field etc you know it definitely would have been yeah Can I ask you a question Pat is that like in your only recently gone out of the game would it be players still would the opposing cornerbacks or the opposing fullbacks be talking to you during the match or is that completely gone

Yeah, there was an awful lot of it done back in my, back in, well, old days, because I was in Clare Downey in this part of the season.

there was often times you'd go out and you'd be saying like Jesus there was often times you'd go out and even the night before or the week of the match leading up to the match you know kind of building yourself up knowing what was coming like

If you were going in playing Jackie Terry, or if you were going in marking Brian Murphy, you knew what was coming.

You knew what was coming, or even Frank Lowe.

You knew what the antics that were going to come.

Well, starting out in my career, I would even only...

a bit of a thing.

But as soon as I started to put on a bit of bulk, you know, I kind of said, well, you know what?

I've got a small bit of luck after myself, like, you know.

But the one funny one with Jackie, Jackie, Jackie often, I think Jackie spoke in his book, was the one just before the helmets came in.

And I'm playing the All-Ireland Street Final.

Jackie was, Jackie let me know and he gave me a right, right shot in before the ball came.

And I kind of went back at him.

And he kind of came again.

So I kind of... He had a helmet on and I had no helmet on.
