two separate games, because I was in Pierre Stadium and the sun was something else there compared to after that.

Yeah, like it absolutely hopped it.

It was like weird timing.

So James went on that, what, three goals in three minutes or five minutes, whatever it is, that short space of time.

And you're thinking, wow, wow, wow.

And the fact that they didn't get a response.

And even prior to that, you probably saw small signs of it just after halftime.

Jonathan, you won't really have that many fond memories of 2018, but you probably wouldn't have thought it would take eight years to get back to the final, would you?

No, you certainly, and it's very interesting hearing that whole dynamic of the 2018 final being referenced so much because, like, it was ultimately...

the day the dam was burst really wasn't it and your 45 year wait and what you've gone on to achieve since then I think if you took that in isolation right then how goal we had been close enough to the radar had eventually got over the line in 17 after going so close to that peak at the end of their era and then getting over the line and then be back in the final again and ultimately just be narrowly missing out at the end I know as it's history makers, or the way Victor is, I suppose, determine the outcome, really, and what we write about, but the narrative is of that last fray, and I think there was a Halloween flick that just went narrowly wide, it could have been a different story, and I think the big thing really is, and nobody really is going to talk about it much in the build-up, is the off-the-field politics in terms of that led to the departure of Micheál Dunne on his side, and then we had various managers trying to fill that void in the meantime, and with the greatest respect.

It just didn't work out really, didn't it? And Miol and his crew came back after their venture in Dublin last time out and have, in their second era, already have got their stamp on it.

But it is fascinating.

You would never have thought back then that the two teams and I heard Luke speaking there about the media day.

I was at the Galway one on Monday and that was a point to kind of reference with him as well.

Finally Jonathan gotta ask how do you see the game going?

But what's your take on what's happening in the US in terms of the AI trade?

Look, it's ultra exciting is what's happening.

And I think that, you know, when you're seeing such huge and exponential rates of adoption of the technology from everywhere, from users through to hyperscaler, CapEx and the like, you're just not seeing any data points that tell you that it's slowing down.

And really to see, I think, the bubble or the air getting let out of that trade, you'd really want to see it really sort of starting to slow down.

Our view is that if anything, it's accelerating.

The demand for AI-related capex and everything associated with that, whether it be semiconductors, memory, the neo-clouds, compute, hyperscalers, electricians, the demand is absolutely vertical in our view.

And we expect that to remain the time.

So as far as Australia goes and the ASX, are there any players in this space? Is there any way we can get involved, apart from obviously going to US neoclouds?

Jonathan, safe to say, are you surprised by that result? I know I certainly am anyway.

Yeah, I think even the most red-tinted Cork supporters, well, as much as they would have believed, like even just the logistics of getting here.

I know the team got the flight up this morning, but trying to get that long journey up, the flight to Derry and an hour across on road, it's still a daunting challenge.

You go in there and you saw how good that, and if you want to use the Kerry games as barometers both sides, even just basic maths, isn't it? Sporting maths, that doesn't always add up.

the Munster final defeat and then the flip side of that the demolition really by Donegal of Kerry in round one like you throw all those in and it's a new occasion here in Ballybuffet I'm still here looking out and it is a beautiful beautiful surface I'd say 98% of it was full of loud vocal Donegal supporters but it was the pocket of sport the we're down to our right there starting to hear the rebels rebels and they all gathered a beautiful scene actually a couple of moments ago there they all gathered outside the dressing room as the players got on they're going back for a bite to eat and letter kenny but there's a rebels rebels was was being uh shouted high into the dunny gold sky here as well and it is one of those wow you had to be there sort of scenarios mad game really done like um We were joking here in the press box.

I think the best description I can give of it is it reminded me of a game before the FRC changes.

The game plan was set up.

how good was stephen sherlock people are saying coming off the back of it that he's basically guaranteed himself an all-star and well at least nomination but probably in all stairs all
