Joe McDonagh

So you have to be careful.

So, but we know, you know, like, you know, for example, Joe McDonagh, you know, we don't want to be on TV, on the news, on television, on the radio.

That's the way it is.

And you can't do it in the sports of the world.

God be with him.

He's passed away since the great Joe McDonagh, who went on to become president of the GAA, and he gave a rendition of the West Awake that a lot of people would have shed tears with.

So we'll remember Joe and all that great.

We don't have Joe McDonagh singing it, but we do have Damien Dempsey and Lumen Air.

A

little nod to Mayo as well.

Grand.

Well, that was Lumiere and The West's Awake and The West really was awake back when Galway won their first, not their first, but their first for such a long time.

know.

Actually, it was the first year we'd be in Antrim in the Christie ring before the McDonagh came in.

And it was, we played Limerick.

The year Limerick won the first All-Ireland with that group, they played Carlo in a qualifier in Dartcullen Park.

And then you go on and you're playing Limerick.

You're in bonus territory and it was class.

But I do probably think now it's the change whereby you win your Joe McDonagh and you can celebrate.

And that's, you know, you're not going out and playing... remember when you did Leash

In the All-Ireland, or back in the...

Joe McDonagh.

But I heard about Nolte's manager again next year for the footballers.

But it's very hard to see that they won't take him.
