But if there's another mechanism to get back in again, it could lose its aura. matched

I know the sounds here. matched

Did you hear the couple of Northies coming down telling us boys that it could lose its aura? matched

Sense would say that could happen. matched

That could happen if it loses its spot. matched

You're like, no, that won't... There's definitely a possibility. matched

I don't think the day had the day like if you're involved in the day in any capacity like we just now my role is different than his role previously but I'm just talking about it is absolutely special it's probably the closest thing to the Munster Hurling Championship absolutely but this year in the football there is no benefit in winning the Austria Championship there is a benefit getting to a provincial final so that is the benefit that's job done so really on the day it's kind of matched

sure we're here in the final and we might as well win it which is not a bad place to be but actually I think now when you see so many of the teams now in the latter stages the semi-finals of the football championship not being provincial champions bar Kerry so three quarters of the team didn't win a provincial championship so if you're looking at the big prize which in our sports Sam Maguire and Liam McCarthy matched

I think the provincial system and I'm torn at saying it because we are from Ulster and I know that you boys would be torn at saying it because you're from Ulster but I do think particularly football I just think it's just degrading a wee bit wee fraction every wee bit and with every slight rule change it's becoming less and less significant yeah on the day it's amazing to win it you can see that the way Jim McGuinness speaks about it but I don't think you can compare Harlan and football right now matched

I could not agree possibly more. matched

The only thing, like we're watching the World Cup at the minute. matched

I've actually watched so little of it. matched

It's just, it's really bad. matched

We're sports journalists in the world at the minute. matched

I've watched so, so little of it, but it's kind of starting now. matched

You don't have to watch it until kind of now. matched

And it feels that there's a danger. matched

I'm not saying this is happening, but it could happen that your provincial system, if you get more games, matched

Kilkenny, you know, Tipperary, teams that are not actually in the semi-final this weekend, but actually subject more or provide more hurling games that it's going to be better. matched

Are you basically saying there that, yeah, okay, I'll take that hit, but still having more games is still better than having no games? matched
