Ronan Mullen

And he was in communication with Jim Gavin.

Gavin asked him, what kind of game do you want?

And Charlie Portis' reply was, one where David Clifford can drive.

So, like, literally speaking, the game is literally tailor-made for him.

But I don't think there's too many people out there that would begrudge a player of his sort of very unique skill set having it rewarded.

Yeah.

One of my abiding memories of the Gooch is like the late era Gooch when the game had changed and I remember 2015 All-Ireland Final when he spent the game running backwards after Philly McMahon and Philly like kind of mauling him as they went back up the pitch and just his energy being drained and that was obviously a way to go after a team that had a player of that quality is target them and make them go backwards and

and get them to do things that they just do not want to do so yeah I'd say he's a little bit aggrieved by the David Clifford rules yeah that's a very interesting thought yeah the framing the way you said it out there probably looking at the greatest player we've ever seen and yeah

Yeah, that's the end of the World Snooker Championship.

For a lot of people it is.

But do you know what?

That's such a Kerry thing.

Like Morris Fitzgerald had that same thing of just playing, still playing for St Mary's so far after his inter-county career.

Brian Sheehan.

Like how many videos did you see when Brian Sheehan was well into his 40s and he was kicking, did he play in goals at one stage and he was still kicking these incredible, incredible, like the best kickers still separate themselves from everybody else from being able to do it.

Ciarán MacDonald, Colin Corkery.

they do really kind of stand out and of all the things and i'll change my mind on this next week after i've seen him again but the thing that stands out most to me about david clifford is the extraordinary like he kicks the ball so high and yet it clears the crossbar by about two yards so he kind of has the ball on a string like he he has the kicking technique so incredibly well off

It really is brilliant.

Like his ball control is incredible and the ability to show the ball and go past somebody.

But other people can do that.
