I think Crumby's playing really well.
Their backs are setting that up.
They'd often get the, they said All-Ireland Finals would be half three.
The only thing is with Galway now, when I said this, I remember in the last round of the league, when Galway got no goal against Galway or against Kilkenny, they put up, I think it was 35 pints, you know.
They'd often get the ten or half ten train.
You know, most people are going to like a four.
I tell you, they'd often get maybe the half ten train and there's nobody left in Limerick.
the only thing is with Galway, the other way to concede a no goal against Galway, if they concede, some teams are funny and games are funny.
half 10 train up to the Euston station at 12 from 12 then to over to your wherever you're getting the food for half 12 that three hours half 12 to half 3 and so they wouldn't you wouldn't need up for like a light puck around anywhere or go anywhere before no no not in terms of not once it's outside that before that three hours I remember even maybe managements before or under age teams I don't know how you found it John I found when fellas would meet would get you to meet up four or five hours beforehand it was way too much yeah
If Dublin concede no, if you tell me now Dublin won't concede a goal against Galway this weekend, Galway could still hit you.
There's so many shooters out the field, you have to kind of follow Galway out the field because they want to shoot first out the field compared to other teams.
Like if you told me Cork won't score a goal in the months of final, I'd say right, Limerick definitely wouldn't score.
Now we know that mightn't pan out like that.
it would nearly be the opposite of Galway so will Dublin follow him that bit more out of the field will they trust the likes of Paddy Smith and will say oh no Donal Norbelli will come back in and say look lads we're going to have to trust that he will marshal these fellas inside here for periods of the game because we can't have
and too long and you get kind of stale so even the fact that they meet up we'll say for the three hour mark beforehand for the food there will be no talk about the game in terms of a group sitting at all until maybe an hour and a half out you know so you don't really actually meet and get you know in terms of dialed in in terms of an hour and a half out maybe you'll have your food and you'll just relax and have a bit of crack with fellas there's no meeting until maybe
Cahill Manion Keane Daniels you know a couple more we can't have these lads shooting out the field we're looking back we're watching all these games for the last three months they're too good at putting up 30 pints the last day above in Salt Hill lads it was 14 wides to three so they were still getting them shots off you could argue didn't you know was it enough day was it elements
until maybe an hour and a half beforehand and maybe if it's an hour and a half beforehand we'll have your meeting for 15 or 20 minutes and then you're back on you're heading onto the bus which is honestly it's the most one of the most exciting parts of the day when you get on the bus and you're heading in for that guard escort yeah there's no there's no feeling there's no feeling like it oh it's unreal it's it's it really is a special special feeling when it's really when it's really going you even see some fellas they take out the earpiece
There is the vibe that Croke Park will suit Galway down to the ground.
But it's a very hard game to call.
It's going to be very interesting out in the middle of the field.
