Maybe not the scale of the defeat, but of all the kind of narratives you put, you know, in the Simpsons movie when Rainier Wolf cost us like an Arnold Schwarzenegger kind of, and he's like, we have option A, B, C, D and E. I think one of the ones that you would have pushed forward as a potentially likely outcome was it Bordeaux exposing Leinster's form line this season, which is kind of how it played out.

Arma versus Derry Welcome to the GA show Will I have noticed kind of a cooling because for people who obviously wouldn't know if they're not in our office Ronan and Connan sit side by side cheek by jail almost especially when us are footballers We're joined at the hip It's a topic of conversation for sure you can barely it's like Laurel and Hardy and then this week I've noticed a kind of a cooling a kind of not a tension necessarily but certainly not the convivial chummy banter that I'm often privy to across the divider Are you excited?

For tomorrow's match?

He's been yelling me since the... He told me no chance, he told me upstairs.

When there was no prying ears or eyes and I said, oh, do you think you'll win on Saturday?

No chance, he said.

I dotted the T. Yeah, sometimes I dot the T. I accidentally dotted my T. It's a nightmare.

Yeah, I think it's 12 o'clock, early kickoff.

Well, if they were to win tomorrow, they'd enter very rarefied air indeed.

I mentioned last year when they went back-to-back at this age grade, it was three and four years, that only I think four previous times it had been done.

Kerry in the 70s, Cork before their Dublin, the 80s, 90s.

I think Kerry in the late 90s preceding the Jack O'Connor era and Dublin under Jim Gavin.

Whereas if they made it three in a row on Saturday, they would join Kerry of the 70s, you know, before the, up to that point, the biggest winning kind of run in Gaelic football history.

So that's what's at stake here.

It's a pre-season competition akin to the McKenna Cup now, Colin.

How did they do against Ross Conlon?

They're back in the All-Ireland race.

People were ridiculing me and lampooning me when I said it, but I'm feeling somewhat vindicated.

You're itchy off.

Yeah, I was written off.
