This is an Irish Independent Podcast.

Does that thing where you have a bit more respect as a player to react to a manager?

I don't think you'd react in a way that would be physical.

Yeah.

But I would just brush her off, to be honest.

I think we're talking a huge amount about this incident today.

on the basis of the mess that we've incurred from Ger Brennan's situation and how severe that punishment was.

I don't think we would be talking too much about it if Ger wasn't missing for most of the season.

the daggers are out maybe for Jim McGuinness because he's such an important focal point for that Donegal team and where they want to go this year and they're like they're moving extremely well at the minute a team that I tipped for in All-Ireland but I do think if Joe Brennan doesn't get that hefty ban for what he did then we're just going to we're just going to like how many managers have got involved in the league and just separated players or pushed players away and then the other side of it is

That if Jim McGuinness did get a ban for that, and yeah, it's more extreme to Bournes' ban for actually splitting Hugh's open.

You're kind of going, this is a mess.

It's a total mess.

And it comes back to the, obviously the topic of what we said about Michael Murphy in Crow Park, getting away with a couple of sucker punches into the carry player.

And yeah, Jerry Brennan got a huge ban around that similar time.

So, but it's an interesting topic, isn't it?

It's interesting.

It's been, you know, the thing that's been spoken about so much.

It's interesting, but detracts from the brilliant game that it was, bar the setting off.

When the setting off happened, obviously, then things changed.

Just take the football side of things out of the way for a second, because I think there's a piece that people are kind of touching on, but actually probably going into the detail a huge amount that I find interesting.
