Yeah.

And I think, uh, you know, if, if Cork actually continued to play the game that they played in the first 25 or 30 minutes, I actually think they'd have been fine.

But the problem was when the pressure came on and, and the oohs and the ahs started, they just resorted to, they did what, what Mark had asked them to do.

They resort to long ball.

But you've one chance of winning primary possession, and if you don't win primary possession, it's game over because you'll be swarmed with the numbers they have back.

And, uh, Brian Hayes in the first half, okay, the argument to that could be well, it was actually Brian Hayes was keeping them in the game, which is a fair point too, but he was still there.

So I think, and listen, it's not the preview to final at all we're doing yet, like, but I think the next day you will see Limerick hitting the ball laterally and backwards and sideways, and I think it's going, that's what you're gonna see.

Mm.

Great win over, over Tipperary.

Yeah, it was un- unreal really, um, you know, uh, when you saw them trotting to get across all.

Uh, I walked way down, and, uh, I wasn't long realizing what the conditions were like.

You know, it was very, it was very wet and very windy, and, uh, I think anyone that was at the game would've seen the flags in the stadium.

Like, they were b- you know, they were swirling every direction, and, uh, that obviously played its part on the day as well.

I mean, there was a huge amount of wides.

A huge, huge amount of missed chances.

Mm.

your expectation maybe sometimes when you're taking long range threes would you it would have been basically this has to go over it would be said but maybe not always i suppose players need to have an understanding of what they feel is left and might have to just have to just strike it direct and see what happens

funny enough i don't think this is any bit complicated at all uh you know john made a very good point afterwards where he said you gotta have calm in the chaos And I can tell you for a fact that if I was on that pitch, alas, as a Cork player, I see Mark Holland in an interview yesterday saying, oh, James Owens had ran down to your side of the pitch.

It was hard to ask him.

That is factually incorrect.

Tim O'Mahony was injured.

James Owens stood around for quite a while.

The first question the Cork players should have asked James Owens is, what's the situation here, James? That's it, right? Now, that brings me to my next point.

But I mean, like that's once in what, nearly 90 championship matches maybe where you could say he made... uh something that might align itself to a mistake but yeah he he's just been he's just been phenomenal uh shane were you surprised with with any elements of the limerick tactics i suppose nothing nothing uh to the to my untrained eye really that seemed anything differently but i suppose the the difficulty was the conditions really that's that that played into it like limerick maybe struggles up until that road hegarty goal in in the early exchanges but um it was probably against the wind it was probably the last few minutes of the first half where limerick really made hay in terms of the last four points to bring it from six back to two and uh i suppose that gave them a good platform then for the second half
