The Last Word with Matt Cooper · All-Ireland Championship Final · 24 Jul 2026 podcast

Jack Livingston,

is an outstanding saver, but the pressure of an All-Ireland final with 82,000 people, we don't know how some of the Mayo players will react.

And I do think that's a factor.

Whereas we do know that Paul Murphy, Shawnee O'Shea, David Clifford, Paulie Clifford, we do know these guys, there's no problem with the dislike.

David Clifford is the best Gaelic footballer I've ever seen.

And a lot of people, even Peter Cannon was on your show once, Matt, and he said he's the greatest footballer of all time.

So,

Compare that to Kobe, who's 18 or 19 years of age, and he's going to the AFL.

Compare it to Dara Byrne, who we don't know how he will react to it.

But I will say something positive.

I think Sam Callinan in the Hessian and David McBride at six, they're a very, very good half-back line.

They're pacey, they attack at speed, and I like to look at them.

So it'll be interesting to see, Matt, do Mayo go out with the full-court press?

Do they just go for it like they did against Loutz?

And I suppose in many ways that's what they should do, because if they don't do that, they're not going to win.

But then that will leave gaps at the back as well.

So, look, Matt, we previewed Martin Carney was on 20 years ago, and it's hard to believe it's 20 years ago, Mayo against Kerry.

And as you started, we were hopeful then.

And David came on in that final, but Kerry beat them very well, 4-15 to 3-05.

And just the connection with that 2016, Jack O'Connor was the Kerry manager back then.
