Is there actually a

game on halftime? I think so, yeah, I think Darren O'Sullivan's actually playing, so maybe if your phone hasn't rang yet, check your voicemail.

Pat the Bag was looking for you on

Saturday night, Jimmy.

Mm-hmm.

Um, you know, I had moments playing for Down, marking Darren O'Sullivan, um, marking Eamonn O'Callaghan, marking Paul Kerrigan, some of the most elite forwards at that time and, but also within that tactical framework of what we were told to do that day.

I remember being told to really hound Darren O'Sullivan until I knew he didn't need it hounded, and then get back in front of Dan Gordon to cover Kieran Donaghy and, and the Gooch, who was on Damian Rafferty.

So, like, the ta- the game was tactically changing at that point.

Um, becoming a, an outstanding man marker, you need to be doing it consistently.
