This is an Irish Independent Podcast.
Hello everybody and welcome to the Indoor Sport Podcast. The All-Ireland Football Championship continues to crank into gear. Last weekend we had the Barney and Killarney between Donegal and Kerry, as well as wins for Cork, Galway and Tyrone. And this weekend we have a couple of games to look forward to as well. Armagh, Derry on Saturday evening. Westmead, Cavan as well on Saturday. Dublin, Loud, a rematch of their Leinster Championship clash on Sunday.
What are the highlights from the All-Ireland Football Championship so far?
Dublin obviously hoping to bounce back from that Leinster final defeat to Westmead. And then Monaghan, Mayo rounding in. out the weekend. Delighted to be joined to go through all the talking points by Philly McMahon. Philly, how are you? I'm good, good. Lots to discuss. Before we kick off, our GA podcast coverage is sponsored by AIB. Proud sponsors of Club and County, AIB proudly celebrates the joy, dedication, and support that lies at the heart of Gaelic games in every community and player across the nation. Before we get into this weekend, just have to get your thoughts on Kerry Donegal. I don't know if the Barney and Clanny has caught on yet. I hope I came up with that. Maybe I just heard someone else say it and just nicked it, but...
I wanted to ask you, if you were playing last weekend and Jim McGuinness came onto the pitch and shoved you, how do you think you would have reacted?
Does that thing where you have a bit more respect as a player to react to a manager? I don't think you'd react in a way that would be physical. Yeah. But I would just brush her off, to be honest. I think we're talking a huge amount about this incident today. on the basis of the mess that we've incurred from Ger Brennan's situation and how severe that punishment was. I don't think we would be talking too much about it if Ger wasn't missing for most of the season. the daggers are out maybe for Jim McGuinness because he's such an important focal point for that Donegal team and where they want to go this year and they're like they're moving extremely well at the minute a team that I tipped for in All-Ireland but I do think if Joe Brennan doesn't get that hefty ban for what he did then we're just going to we're just going to like how many managers have got involved in the league and just separated players or pushed players away and then the other side of it is
That if Jim McGuinness did get a ban for that, and yeah, it's more extreme to Bournes' ban for actually splitting Hugh's open. You're kind of going, this is a mess. It's a total mess. And it comes back to the, obviously the topic of what we said about Michael Murphy in Crow Park, getting away with a couple of sucker punches into the carry player. And yeah, Jerry Brennan got a huge ban around that similar time. So, but it's an interesting topic, isn't it? It's interesting. It's been, you know, the thing that's been spoken about so much. It's interesting, but detracts from the brilliant game that it was, bar the setting off. When the setting off happened, obviously, then things changed.
Yeah, like what... How do you reflect on what we saw before the red card? Because a lot of people are kind of not throwing it out, but saying that the red card, especially with the new rules, can be very significant, maybe more so than previously. What did you make of the first half when it was 15 versus 15?
Just take the football side of things out of the way for a second, because I think there's a piece that people are kind of touching on, but actually probably going into the detail a huge amount that I find interesting. Maybe the viewers, the listeners here wouldn't, but I do think it's interesting. I have no doubt that Donegal set out to disrupt Kerry in terms of the dark arts and the mindset side of things. I would have felt that Jim McGuinness's energy in trying to get a Kerry player sent off would give me an indication of how emotional he was and how that would have had to be preempted. And not just that, there was so many other incidents. as soon as a Donegal player was being pulled, tagged, or they were being confrontational, they were dropping to the ground.
