Right.

I'm just thinking, you expect Donegal to go back and hit the heights of the National League final or the trip to Killarney.

That really hasn't happened for them.

I still go back to the down game and think that that was a massive blow.

And I don't know if they've fully recovered from that, to be honest.

Obviously, you know, Cork last week is another body blow.

It means you're out.

You know, I've seen Jim McGinnis talking about being out week on week and that is not simple and it's not easy and the travel and everything that's involved in the preparation and all that.

But I still think they just seem to lack a spark from that Kerry game.

I don't know if they put an awful lot into it or what.

But if you're looking at the roadmap for Donegal at the start of the year, it probably hasn't gone the way they wanted it to.

I'm sure they would have liked to be in an also final.

I'm sure they would have liked to have gone straight into their quarterfinals.

I'd say that was all in the planning.

But being out week on week probably wasn't.

And I thought that would come back to bite them a little bit.

And I thought, from a Dublin point of view, you have to handle them.

They looked absolutely ravenous today.

You know, they just couldn't handle Conor Callaghan.

Basquale was very good.
