Off the Ball, GAA.
Well, it's important to put in some bit of experience along with the new boys because, you know, they need a bit of direction and, you know, it was a big night for a lot of them for the first time wearing the Kerry jersey in a competitive environment.

Coming up today, we'll look back at last night's nil-all draw between Arsenal and Liverpool, which saw the Gunners go six points clear at the top. Keith Andrews says his Brazilian striker will be going nowhere in the January transfer window. and Ireland defender Andrew Omobamedeli gives his thoughts on Lima Senior's decision to leave Strasbourg for Chelsea. But first, Arsenal missed the chance to go eight points clear at the top of the Premier League last night. The Gunners drew nil all with champions Liverpool at the Emirates. The result ended a five-game winning run for Mikel Arteta's side, but they've come through the busy festival schedule with a six-point advantage over Manchester City and Aston Villa.
I think the desire and the quality of the boys shot in this period, which is the most demanding one through the year, to do what they've done, big credit to them. And as I said, coming out through that period in the position that we are, I think we have to be proud.
Arsenal winger Gabriel Martinelli has apologised for trying to push Liverpool defender Conor Bradley off the pitch. Just after he went down with a serious injury, it sparked a row between the players. Martinelli was booked while Bradley was carried off with a suspected knee injury. Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta defended his player.
If anybody knows Gabi, he's an incredibly lovely guy. And probably he didn't realise what happened. I hope that Conor is well. I will have a word with him now to understand that. But probably he didn't recognise what happened.
Arnold Slotts, Liverpool are now unbeaten in 10 games in all competitions and are fourth on the table. He felt they could have won the game.
The only thing that missed maybe from my side for our team was that from all that ball possession, all that moments around the box.
What happened in the Arsenal vs. Liverpool match?
Yeah, you were hoping to create even more chances. But against an Arsenal team that had so great momentum, still have great momentum, is something very positive.
However, Slot says his squad still has improvements to make.
When we have 60 or 70% ball possession against other teams, people find it boring. And now it's a good performance. But again, we hardly created a chance. And now we say, what a performance. This is who we are. We can dominate ball possession. We know how to do build-up. But we struggle, obviously, in a few things.
Roy Keane was in studio for Sky Sports last night for the Arsenal and Liverpool game. And after the match, they spoke about Manchester United. And Keane called for Newcastle boss Eddie Howe to replace Ruben Amorim.
I like what he's done. His management. He's managed a lot of games. And his teams are at it. They play good football. I know it's not for everyone. He'll have his critics. I like what he's done at Newcastle. Even at Bournemouth, he's managed 700, 800 games. He's still a young man. I like his... I love his calmness. I think sometimes Man United maybe need a little bit of that.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Michael Carrick are in the club's plans to take over on an interim basis before a permanent manager is named in the summer. Darren Fletcher remains in caretaker charge at Old Trafford. Meanwhile, United supporters group the 1958 has called for a vote of no confidence in the club's ownership model. calling Jim Ratcliffe an incompetent clown. The organisation will also hold a protest at the home game against Fulham on the 1st of February to make their voices heard at Old Trafford. The group wants the removal of the Glazer family and Ratcliffe from the club. There's also concerns in relation to the work of the chief executive, Omar Barada, and the director of football, Jason Wilcox.
