And that's sort of, I always sort of find it a wee bit bizarre as well, like that a toss doesn't be taken a wee bit sooner before the throw in.

Yeah.

Do you know what I mean?

In terms of the positioning of players, who do you play?

Because I'd be touching on Pat a few times, especially in the winter games.

Like, you know, the game, when there's a heavy wind, it shouldn't almost be broken up into quarters because it just sets the whole tone for the game and the strategy.

But like, you literally have to, you've got a couple of minutes, if even, to do anything with that decision.

And it's, you could see Roscoe or Galway in the first half, they were almost playing a two-pointer game.

Yes, they hit one ball long and they got a goal.

But after that, it was like, we're going to, we're going to,

go for two pointers and they got some not enough but did that compromise their overall attacking play because they looked a bit one dimensional albeit this got enough it was felt going into the half time they hadn't scored more whereas Roscommon sort of

Well, maybe they had to say they looked like they had a plan because they won the toss, obviously, and they decided to go with it.

They had a plan in place, obviously, if we lose the toss or win the toss, they have the option, we're going to play, we're going to start the game with the win and back ourselves, knowing the hide and knowing how to play into those goals.

So, tactically, that was something that can't be dismissed.

But listen...

We keep expecting them to slip back because that's what they've done more often than not over the years.

When they get up the mountain a wee bit, the air gets a bit thinner and they're showing no sign of a beat.

To the point that we really have to put them up there in a top five, top six contending team.

Because if they can play like that and maintain that level...

and the more players that they're adding in.
