But Kerry, the county they are, they'll be thinking, this is embarrassing.
We need to really have a look at where we're at at this time of the year.
And that could really poke the bear for me.
Definitely, they pushed them to the wings on their attacks in that transition, which meant that they could get the domino effect on the blind side, possibly get that plus one.
I think the turnovers were huge, 13 to 5.
When we look at the turnovers last year, it kind of equated to probably three two-pointers, I think, the turnovers last year, maybe.
They definitely got one from Paddy Clifford turning the ball over.
David Clifford gets a two-pointer.
Then there was a two-pointer from two frees as well.
But there was two errors where the Donegal defence were coming out with the ball.
And the reason why I think that was so important, 13 errors or turnovers compared to five, is that the amount of intensity that brings and saps your energy.
So, like, last year...
You know, you're in a full stadium, you have emotional energy, you have physical energy and you're coming out of the fence and you turn the ball over and you're going, oh no, am I getting scores?
Yesterday, Donegal were so efficient coming out of the fence and I don't think Kerry Ware is good.
It was like it flipped.
So I think that was a huge part to play because...
When you're a defence and you're getting constantly bombarded with attack after attack, you're going, when's this going to give, we're not going to get a break here.
And you want your forwards then to kick on and get a few scores, but they weren't getting it.
Clifford wasn't really, as you mentioned, there was a big gap between his first score and the second score, he got 1-1.
And they nullified him from, every time the ball went towards him, there was two or three players within about a five metre radius around the man that was marking him.
