Yeah, I wouldn't want to read too much into McGuinness' behaviour pre or post or during matches.
Like, you know, I just don't think things have...

And it's easy to say that in hindsight now, they're after losing.
I thought they'd win yesterday, but I also thought that Dublin were going to bring their best performance of the year to the game.

I'm not sure about the McGuinness project going forward.
He is the best manager in their history.

And it took a lot of honesty from Jack O'Connor to say, this is the new game.
This is the way the game has been played.
These are the new structures.
This is what you do.
And just move on, suck it up and shut up.
I wouldn't even try and talk them down.
