What unique perspective does Westmeath's success bring to local sports?
Off the Ball, GAA. Honestly, I wouldn't have put Mark as the manager type. Now, Mark's been extremely, he's always been an extremely smart player, but in terms of that management role, I possibly would have seen him as a coach. Join in the obsession.

I would say 75% of conversations I've had since now, probably for the last week, have been maroon and white tinted.
I'd say I'm starting to even annoy people who are from Westmead at this stage with the amount of different conversations I've had about it and the amount of different conversations I've sparked. just off the whim being like I've thought of something that's right so yeah that's been great Matthew was actually in the meeting yesterday Matthew was actually just looking through the starting team and just ticking them off in terms of like alright we had we had Rick and Ellen yesterday John Heslin's up now tomorrow and then Mark McHugh's going to join us in the evening time and then maybe someone else from the 2004 team will you keep getting more and more of them on then eventually they'll be like sure what about me
where do I fit in it's like being part of a special club isn't it it is yeah it's like somebody's opened the door to conversations about stuff that like I know probably at this point of the week people are already we've done an awful lot of Westmeath and people are probably fed up listening to it but even off air it's just amazing I know it is it's not a you're right it's like feeling part of something it's strange but it's an exclusive sort of thing because you know when you like it's not it's a strange comparison but like the Prague thing that was going on and it was such a collective like buy-in and a collective we're all part of this and we love this but this is like I don't know if it's better it's probably not better because it's not everyone involved in it and the more people that are involved in something the kind of more you feel a part of something because it's like such an exclusive sort of thing where it's so close to home and
there's a personal thing about it and when it's like, your county, your county's a weird, the county set up is a strange sort of dynamic where there's a, I'm a Westmead man, you're a Westmead man, I'm a Westmead woman, you're a Westmead woman, whatever. And we just, we're all in this collective state of joy at the moment. Which is rare. Amazing. Like, we're voyeurs. right yes exactly we haven't done anything yes for sure like your mum is a dub my parents were west of Ireland so I watched Gaelic games for decades through the lens of something else and like I knew it was kind of half invested in the success of those teams on the basis of that but it's just been incredible somebody's making sorry I won't shut down about this I might have accidentally like by saying we're not going to talk about Westmeath my last point on it kickstarted the Westmeath conversation again the last point until Tommy comes on with it
Correct, correct, correct. I'd probably give it about five minutes and we'd shoehorn another way to get it into the conversation. But the bit about after the game where, so I was there with my family and so there wasn't an immediate path to the pub, right? There was a bit of, I was waiting for the beep, beep, beep, beep, so I could go, oh. Franny said, lads, I'm eating. What do you think? So I had to wait for all that. But the importance of actually spending time with people who were also part of that club at that time, so you could dissect the thing high up and low down, like I couldn't have gone home. Yeah, you phrased that, but that's exactly what I was trying to say in that little monologue where I didn't really say anything.
