I don't remember, to be honest.

I don't remember what he said.

But I remember just having a little bit of a tussle and he stood on me.

and I knew then and I felt bad for Walsh because Walsh was probably going you're meant to be marking me here like you know don't mind him like you know but I remember that stage going this fella bites a little bit now I'm not saying that you know if I marked him he wouldn't have scored what he scores on defenders

but if he gave me a handicap of what he was scoring on the Dublin players it would have been a good challenge for me to kind of go right back to the Dublin manager's team right he doesn't necessarily need the fastest player marking him or the tightest player marking him he just needs someone to be taking him off his focus so that when every time that ball comes up he's thinking this fella is hanging out with me like Rorty was dealing with with Paddy

Yeah, he does point a bit at that.

And that is...

That epitomized Kerry in terms of that Kerry Donegal game.

They were buying.

There were so many players, not just him, they were buying.

So as soon as they do that, they're taking their focus off what they should be doing.

And if you're a team that are focusing on what you're doing and that's a part of your strategy, well then you're going to get the advantage.

So for me, the other side of it is with Clifford is he's playing now, we're seeing a lot more of him.

It's not his first or second season now, you've got a lot more of him now.

So you can see different patterns, you can see different habits, you can see different things happening.

and it will become a much easier job as much as easy I say it's a completely you know when you mark him you're marking the top player in the country it's really hard but once you see all those habits and once you start to watch video footage of these certain players you start to pick a way of what possibly could give you the advantage in terms of marking them

I think where Armagh are now, they're at the stage where they just have to keep winning games, you know, and continuously improving on standards.

Because let's be honest, Ulster this year for Armagh, they play Tyrone, they kind of struggled to get over the line, but in fairness showed resilience to do so.

Tyrone nearly had them.

Then they played two games after that where they just walked through in terms of Fermanagh and Downe.
