There is a place for both.
And I think if you look at the contrast in both teams on Sunday, Kerry lacked that in places.
They lacked emotion.
They thought, as they had done, because it had got them over the line against Tyrone and Dublin, a structure, a confidence, a process that in most days would have got them over the line.
But Mayo brought...
that bit of emotion and you're talking about the way I used to play because like Mayo where they were the underdogs I always played as an underdog by and large you know and you had to bring something different because if you just went and played on on equal terms they were likely going to beat you so you had to try and bring something else a wee bit more aggression a wee bit more you talk about emotion but it's it's to try and almost distract the other teams and
to not let them play their game and the one thing and you it's the term you've used several times pat and i watched the game back this morning just to recall events mayo played the game on their terms they played the game the way that they wanted to play which was a bit chaotic which was aggressive and
There's a couple of big hits and big tackles in the game.
A lot of them came from Mayo players, whereas I can't recall too many Kerry players throwing themselves, throwing their bodies into tackles and hits that sometimes you don't know what way it's going to go.
Are you going to get a yellow card?
Are you going to get a tick?
Are you going to get hurt yourself?
Mayo didn't think about that they just threw themselves in knowing that we do enough of these things it's going to annoy and distract the Kerry players from playing the game that they want and then take the opportunities as they did and they brought that and that's the way they've always played we've sort of always said if Mayo are going to win they're going to have to win with that but it it
It wasn't enough on its own.
There had to be a lot of good, solid performances, disciplined performances that weren't really heralded.
We talk about the Kobe's and the O'Donoghue's and boys like that.
But there's a lot of ones, like the Jim O'Connor, you know, watched him again, you know.
Mark Gavin White a thankless job at the best of times and picked up breaking balls so there was a good blend and I think it would be unfair to Andy and the Mayo players just to say that they went out and played with the heart of the team it was a blend of that emotion with a lot of tactical nous in it too Owen McGreal on Paddy Clifford as well it's a good point about emotion and there's no doubt about it emotion is vital it's vital
And I think something Andy has proven almost, the whole
It'd be fascinating for somebody to do an analysis, you know, mathematically on two-point shooting.
