game plan but most importantly it's your routine right so I know we're all you know with fierce anticipation of such a big game this weekend and you would think to me no he's kind of fobbing off that question I'm not the routine for this game will be the exact same as the routine for we'll say the Watford game in the first round of the league and the second round of the league and the third round of the league and the fourth round of the league and the league final and the first round of the round robin

It's amazing when something isn't feasible, which was feasible for about 110 years.

And that's where, if you have a management team that's been in place a while and they do put in this process, we'll call it, your routine is what allows you to actually perform, John, in terms of they will do nothing different this week in terms of delay of the land, in terms of when they'll train, in terms of the time that they'll train, in terms of how long they'll give in a meeting room before training tonight.

It'll be 15 minutes and out the door.

There'll be no going on for an hour going through about Cork.

That won't happen at all.

Most of it will actually be about themselves.

90% of it will be about themselves

the one thing I'd say what is different from my time with those great players that you mentioned what you would notice in terms of the first week of June compared to February, April maybe even May is when they get into training tonight and the first drill that takes place

the laughing and the joking maybe that will be going on at different times of the year that's you know that comes down a bit the seriousness goes up some fellas that are great cracking around the transitions and they still be great crack before and after the likes of Keane Lynch or you know whoever you mentioned they're always kind of bubbling but when that ball goes in tonight Tuesday night no tonight is the night actually it's funny we're talking today there will be hell for leather there John

There will be, John will stand over, they'll start, we'll say a drill with a couple of lads, you know, four on two or whatever it is.

Yeah, no, it's a good point, John.

Look, what do we often hear about this Limerick set-up?

John will stand five yards away before you get into a game and he will be dead quiet and he will say, I want to see it here in Owlets.

We often hear this word, and we hear it in a lot of counties now in the last couple of years, become a buzzword, the process.

You know, you follow the process.

We can't turn it on on Sunday.

What is the process, right?

And they will go, there'll be a four or five minute period there, John, where we will be held for later.

It's kind of a mix of two things.
