Colm Keyes is with us, GA correspondent of the Irish Independent.
Let's start though with undoubtedly, and I was saying this to Stephen Doyle earlier, good luck with talking first about Dublin and Donegal.
The game of the weekend next weekend has to be the reigning champions Kerry against the previous year's champions Armagh, particularly after what happened in the quarterfinal last year.
This is what a draw this is.
And Colm, it will only be available to view on GA+, so we know what controversy that's going to cause.
But yes, for the second time... Very generous of the GAA to allow that not to be on GAA+.
Just...
OK, of course, the other interesting thing about it, Will, is that the Dublin-Dunegall game, and we're focusing, I suppose, this evening, I suppose, a little bit on the arrangements for next weekend.
On Friday's Last Word in Sport, we'll do full previews of the fixtures.
But a quarter past one,
is the most unusual time I think I've ever seen a championship game been picked for of this magnitude.
How much of that was done possibly to the fact that we have an All-Ireland quarterfinal in the hurling between Cork and Offaly down in Turles, isn't it?
It is the most efficient...
Yeah, I think everyone expected that we would have Kerry and Dublin coming through comfortably to be in the round three as they are.
But I suspect both Donegal and Armagh column must be absolutely gobsmacked as to how they have ended up there.
Donegal, I'm sure, could not have seen any circumstances in which they would lose at home to Cork.
And similarly, for Armagh to lose in literally the last play of the game against Lowes yesterday.
Extraordinary that they're now in round three.
The thing is, though, how much energy they'll have to take to do it before they play the following weekend of the quarterfinals, not getting the weekend off.
Willow Callaghan, though, what about the so-called controversy about the shot clock and the hooter in the Armagh-Louth game?
