they do one game today, one game tomorrow, or one game today, one game yesterday, and vice versa.
So you basically have two teams to cover the whole weekend.
You get referees involved as umpires, and that definitely helps clear up some of those small little things, which are small at the time, but turn into very large things as a result of just the way that game was going and the way that that...
Yeah, we would have to say the exact same thing about the early stages of Cork and Mayo.
I mean, it seemed completely devoid of any sort of quality, and yet everyone's absorbed by it come the end or when the game's really in the melting pot.
I know Mayo's seen it out comfortably enough in the end, but yeah, you're absorbed by it.
And the other thing you realise is six points...
what five years ago that game's over yeah like all we just see it out and that's the way it was but there's no seeing out games anymore and that is a that's a brilliant thing for spectators and for people like you who love that madness
Yeah, no, I wouldn't like to question the quality of the Gaelic footballers we were watching, but see, it's the occasion.
The occasion lends itself to mistakes, to gays doing things that maybe they're not used to doing, to trying things that they're not used to trying.
on an ordinary day when the A's of the country are not on it that's fine but it's very you get very exposed you know in quarter finals and Croke Park and semi finals and that so yeah I'm not saying they're not
Yeah, no, I agree totally with that.
And then you put together getting the ball for the big players in the big moments.
You have to have players for both.
You have to have players who are going to win that ball, maybe that you would say where you put your head where you wouldn't put a shovel.
There was a lot of those moments over the weekend, but there was also a lot of moments where you just get it to the right person.
and on a lot of occasions that happened at the weekend and teams are getting better and better at doing that and remember we're still this is still in its infancy you know as far as the new rules and all those so teams are just getting better at it you know all the time and and
it will keep evolving Gaelic football will keep evolving but yeah there was some ridiculous moments at the weekend of sheer quality we're talking about the lack of quality but there's some moments of sheer quality just presence of mind knowing where you are even the first goal in the morning game from Oshino Gorman just you know just that bit of coolness you know in the last just the last second which is very very important
and go for it the latter it's a huge call and some people will laugh at that but the reality is the provincial championships just don't seem to be given a level of indication when it comes to the biggest prize I don't think teams are holding back but I think a lot of teams will be edging towards right now to be almost at their best a lot of teams would have been backing themselves to be in a quarter final and to really hit the ground running so
I think that's the difference but I don't think provincial championships are null and void but I think the system needs to change because I think it's almost like there's a punishment now for winning a provincial championship and I think therein lays
