Maybe the viewers, the listeners here wouldn't, but I do think it's interesting.

I have no doubt that Donegal set out to disrupt Kerry in terms of the dark arts and the mindset side of things.

I would have felt that Jim McGuinness's energy in trying to get a Kerry player sent off would give me an indication of how emotional he was and how that would have had to be preempted.

And not just that, there was so many other incidents.

as soon as a Donegal player was being pulled, tagged, or they were being confrontational, they were dropping to the ground.

Now there's a couple of instances, I'm sure you might go into it, the Morphy one, sorry, the Clifford one, where he probably sticks his elbow up into, I think it was McGonagall, wasn't it?

So there was times where Kerry players were biting, which was surprising for me.

I thought Kerry would have honed in on just, right, okay, let's focus on playing football here, which is about that brilliance of that.

And give it to Donegal when you can, but don't get caught up in it.

Whereas Donegal, I would have felt, would have had, I wouldn't say a huge amount of time that would have been spent on the dark arts of it, but they would have said, listen, they're going to go after Murphy.

We're going to put pressure on the officials to put pressure back onto them and we'll play the game.

Yeah, it was so evident.

But you generally think...

maybe in preparation, Kerry are saying, listen, like we want to, we're, we're in Killarney here.

We owe these one, you know, and maybe that was taken out of context to go on too physical.

Like me, I'll born strong to dig.

Like I've never seen him try to take it in this career.

Like, you know, trying to dig that splits, splits you open.

Like, you know, um, I just, I just think that's not in his character.

that I know of maybe Kerry people know him more than I do but I wouldn't see him throwing digs that often like you know he's a very good player important player for Kerry and he was getting a good run of games this year like so I think that's a distraction thing that's an emotional thing that I wouldn't see particular those type of players getting involved in like you know these two teams really hate each other
