John Mullane

He was probably one of the balls himself.

He probably should have given in to Kevin Manning.

Kevin Manning was free.

and we could have gotten a goal out of it I think Calum Calum Lyons who for me in that second half along with Barron just kind of rolled up the sleeves grinded the tea when we were really kind of needed meant to step up and say right you know what I'm going to drive this thing on he he was brilliant but he even started kind of go on to a little bit of erratic shooting but going back to Bennett he gets the ball alright there's five points in it alright he hasn't scored from play yet alright

If that's me, even Pat, any other player saying, right, I'll pop the ball over the bar, I'll get my first points in play, I'll bring the margin back to four points, and we'll keep the pressure on Tipperary.

But this guy just has a totally, totally different mindset.

This lad wakes up in the morning of the match and he says, right, I'm going to go raise the green flags today.

This is a totally different mindset of him and probably...

a couple of others who kind of have the mindset, right, every time they go out on the field, they're thinking, I'm going to raise the green flag, I'm going to score the goal.

He goes in, they're thinking he's going to put the ball over the bar, he checks back, Brian falls on his feet, and then he plants the feet and sticks the ball in the back of the net, and then all of a sudden, it's back to two points, and they're thinking, oh my word, that's just, that's just courageous.

That's just a courageous thing.

And...

Only the players at the creme de la creme players, as I call them, can only think along that way.

Even at that time, I'm thinking, right, Jesus, bring Ozzie in at halftime.

I mean, not 45 minutes, but he didn't.

He held him.

He held him.

He held him.

And to be fair to Peter Tweedy and his managing team, he caught the changes, right?

He even brought in Conor Keane at the time.
