I think, you know, but Ben's personality, as you say, he is box office.
He has a lot to say.
He's, as he says himself, he's a cranky individual.
That's on the record.
People are calling for the red card.
That's me.
I'm doing the commentary about Conor McHugh.
It is a red card all day long.
You can't just fly into a tackle like that recklessly and maybe take someone's head off.
And I was no centre when I played the game.
But we all know where the crossover comes.
And I'm not looking for players to be sent off.
But what I actually think happened, I think both Michael Kennedy on Saturday and James Owens were very much trying to apply the rules to the letter of law and that makes it fussy.
Because I think there's been huge pressure all week with all the talk about the football, Gerard Brennan, Gerard Burns coming out, getting involved in it.
And this is what happens when there's a knock-on like this.
Give respect, get respect is the slogan.
In my view, what has happened is
we've nearly over-empowered the referees that they're always right.
If someone is wrong and makes a mistake or has a bad day, we all make mistakes.
Colm is right about the conditions yesterday, all that.
