Because you're trying to listen, you're trying to formulate your next question, you're wondering where you're going.

Countdowns are handy, or someone might give you a one-minute warning or a 30-second warning or whatever else.
matched
That's all very useful because, again, the joy of TV, you have to hit certain marks or radio.
matched
But if someone's in your ear constantly, it's just like, just shut up.
matched
Like, I need to be able to hear what's actually going on here.
matched
But yeah, I noticed that because some people were pointing out why does Aidan O'Shea have a headpiece on, you know, when he was doing his interviews after the game yesterday.
matched
That's like, lads, have you heard how loud Crowe Park is when you're on the pitch?
matched
He wouldn't be able to hear Joanne or any of the rest of them asking a question if he didn't have one in.
matched
No, you try to be sensible as well.

Like I kind of felt for Colby McDonald yesterday because when he was with the RT panel, BBC were lucky that they got him after the big team photo.
matched
But it was so clear the team photo in front of the hill was about to take place.
matched
And you could see Colby just looking over to say, I've had one chance on my wrist all year.
matched
I really should have this one chance to take this photo.
matched
And you could see he was kind of straining to run over, but he didn't want to be ignorant in front of the TV cameras either.
matched
And eventually Lee Keegan just kind of went, just go, go.
matched
run go over there now and it was a really nice moment actually at the end of the tv but you are trying i don't know who did something similar didn't he yeah but you're trying to the problem is if you're on the panel you're trying to do a mix of two things you're trying to get that raw emotion when they're just off the field and it's incredible access but at the same time particularly after an all-ireland final win you don't want to be taking them away like if you do it half an hour later when they're just rolling around the pitch fair enough yeah that's when they're just after getting the cup and they're just down on the pitch sharing those memories you're never going to forget particularly after one in ireland for 75 years you don't want to be stealing them from that moment no
matched
Do you enjoy the football finals, Gael, or did you watch it?
matched
I didn't watch it.
matched
Oof.
matched
You must feel that in the country.
