Absolutely.

I did want to ask you, is there a kind of a frustration motivating the squad this season, especially the way last season ended, those last three games were...

You lost Watloan, lost the Rovers, and I suppose that ultimately meant that you couldn't win the title.

Is that frustration of those last few games driving you on this season?

Yeah, really well said there, Pearl.

Just on Treaty United, you beat them in all your meetings last season, so I suppose there will be an expectation, and I know it's an interesting game for Sean as well, coming against his old club, but there'll be an expectation of Talcott to win that game.

And yeah, we'll be ready to go.

We look forward to it.

The reason being, I suppose, we've been having a fair old discussion off the ball this week, the last few days, just about the state of underage football in this country.

Right from under five, sixes and all the way up.

And I suppose the conditions in which players have to try and play or not play, as the case may be.

What do you think, and I know it's something maybe you have to sit down and think about, but are there ways that we can work around as an Irish football community the issues that younger players have to deal with when trying to play football during the winter and the autumn?

Come away from Everton is a tough place, especially once they're on it, like in the second half.

It's definitely a good result.

Of course, Bury was in one step quicker than my centre-back and was avoidable, but overall, good performance from my lads and to a good point.

Yeah, I think they deserved it.

I mean, you touched on the start of it, like the tip-off goes back to the goalkeeper, Pickford, he launches a bit of confusion in the back four of Villa, which there was in a lot of the game.

And a real chance after 30 seconds where Everton hit the post.

So that was typified of a lot of what went on through the game.

And at different stages Villa were good, they were decent.
