Paddy, welcome back to Off The Ball.

How are you keeping?

All good Will nobody told me you were going to open with the no Ulster teams in the semi-finals so had I known I might not have been as quick to join but good to be here good to chat

And yeah, then we got back to where Armagh had been when I was a young fella.

So very happy to have seen both sides of it, know the famine and the, I wouldn't quite call it a feast, but the decent sides helping.

Forgive me if I'm kind of oversimplifying here, but I was listening to the lads on the football pod, James O'Donoghue and Paddy Andrews, and they were trying to make sense of this season.

and the Irish Daily Mail sports editor, Orla McElroy, to look at the best sports writing on this day of national celebration.

Thanks very much, Jamie.
