[Music] Hello and welcome along to a very special edition of the left-wing bike podcast. The voice is not in goods that the BTM levels were completely through the roof in Netwatch Colin Park. As Karlo earned themselves a well-deserved draw against Lekenny in the Lensor Senior Harlan Championship this evening in Netwatch Colin Park, one twenty apiece Marty Mouse-Cavana stepping up and nailing a free right at a desk to earn Karlo the draw. Hard to put it into words, really hard to put it into words. So we felt the best thing to do was to let the players and former players themselves put it into words. So over the duration of this next episode, you're going to hear from Dion Wall, Paul Doyle, Niall Bullsey, Chris Nolan, Kevin McDonald, Marty Mouse-Cavana, Jack Cavana, who missed out through injury this evening, and former senior inter-county holder, Andy Footballer and Legend of the Game in Karlo, Johnny Nevin. So we do hope you enjoy and as always we want to give a shout out to our sponsors, Poitomo or Stalgo Hotel, Karlo, Corey Sports, ArtSpas, PFT Travel, Maurice Baraballomorphy, Ray Wheeling Limited, Pada Horn, Photography and Property Partners, Boogie, in Port Leish and Tommy Boogie. Very much linked with members of the panel, of course, that we're playing this evening. Richie Cody actually won in particular. So we want to welcome aboard property partners, Boogie, as a sponsor, and what an evening, what a time the Dave elected to come with us as a partner, but thanks to all our partners, it's mammoth stuff and we'd like to be providing the coverage and the content. There's always a check out leftwingback.com and email us info @leftwingback.com for getting torture droppers at the end. So let's hear from the guys who made this the epic day that it was. Hello, Marty. There's me out here. That was some performance. The draw against the penny. The handicap was 15 points there and this is magic and stuff. It's brilliant. No one gives a chance. We're all as a smaller country. So we're just elated to get some sort of draw. It's as good as a five-point win for us. Today, especially when I was talking in for the next hour now, we'll be saying that after whatever. As we did last week, but we'll pack it in tonight and then we'll move on to next week because we're not paying to just draw on that and that win another game. We have to push on, we have to stay up. Can you wait a second place though? Like that's what we're in. Yeah, like the character of this team in fairness all year, that's just been an honest effort from the first year of the week. We went back in pure honest good work in the hard working sessions every time we went into the field. So like it's just been, the character of this team has just been hested over and over and today is just one of the days where we just got the rub of the green and we got a draw at the end and got it. Yeah, he's like a win. It does, that's what I'm saying. This is a five-year or ten-point win, especially for the borders. Like to see a handicap coming in here, no strong against them. Like considering we played them on the third or fourth of January here, I don't know what was in it, but it wasn't too healthy. And to turn that around and give supporters a deal is brilliant. I'll just plan for a second. If you look at all the people around and say this is just magic and stuff. Well, say everything and believe me at all because it's just really a wasp. Well done. Thanks, Jeff. Thanks. Well, unfortunately apologies for a few weeks ago. I think we've had such a bad time. I interrupted a family mom of both. You're a little bit happier today. That's that's some results to draw, but it feels like a win point. Yeah, I'd just make him first. Absolutely trill there though. Don't kind of really grasp it now at the moment, really. Like, it's hard to believe that. I don't really think we're going to work at first hire and train. It's the lead to see it all coming out for us. We just thought we don't deep. That's what gave us a kind of fade away in the last 10 minutes. We're just out today, and we're just going to grind it out. Second half, taking 10 minutes out of time, and first we did that today, and we're delighted with the rough. A lot of people are talking about games being targeted and games not being targeted. Is that just a short talk about supporters or what we had to approach on these games? This was one definitely amongst supporters that was in the play plane for our result flag. No, but like, it's very sick. Like, we know it literally should be happening up here for five years. So, we want to enjoy every minute of it. Like, you know, it's all game. We're going to target. We're going to target a lot of people. You have to enjoy it. You have to just test yourself against the best. That's what last year was about. Like, you know, getting up to this level, and we worked so hard over the winter there now, and trying to get ourselves up to this level. You've seen today there, and we can work with the best of them to work. There's a lot of talk about Monster Horlem. Is that too much wrong with answer leaders? No, it's all right, no fair. It's all right. Look like there's there, all right, go short. Look back, I know, see if you're fairly good now, all right, like, we can't even remember the middle of the game, you know. That's lasting, is it your protest day in the car in Jersey? Oh, it's so unbelievable. It's rather like, you know, like, it has to be a talent. Why are you following me for a few hours, I'd say? Well, I'm just looking for each other, like, you know, something going to look back, I know. There's an old end, it's absolutely tremendous. Also, I should look there for the boys, but in there, most, like, oh, it's the fucking stage. I'm all over the world. Yeah, I'm very storming, man. Well, it's the place I love for the end of the third place, we're going to be able to. Oh, I say every minute of the world, so proud of supporters, and thank you very much for well done, all right? Cheers, thanks so much, Kevin, all right? Hi, closure, what a result. I draw out what it feels like going, and there's people crying here in the bank, and it's just unbelievable, it wasn't like that. Yeah, they're reflecting on now as a player. It's a special day, look, because we say they're same here, and they're like, "We knew right well, we have a panel of players that are well over for this." We knew during the week, probably we didn't get a chance by anyone, really, one of your own camp. We knew right well, if we perform, and we do what we can do best, we get results, and that's exactly what we did. And look, probably, when we go back during the week, looking through the videos, we probably left a lot of scores there at the end, and probably post this back, so we're probably a bit too loose there at a time. So, look, when we look back during the week, we probably could have got sort of more, but look, we're in the right way of drawing against the Kenny in here. So, that's the tunnel for you, because the only difficult light here in the water scope, I know you know it after so. Very difficult light. It's true, like a map on here tonight, that's some tunnel on either on a person level field. It is, yeah, look, well, this was, I knew the last couple of years I was in and out of the panel, probably wasn't doing the simple stuff right, like Bully Jim, and all that kind of stuff, so I knew the last couple of months I worked hard, and all that different stuff, and I got a chance at it, so I'm happy, thank God. I tell you what, save every minute of it, and thanks a million from supporters. Yeah, Chair, thanks for watching. Chris, I think this is finally the day that people have stood up and took notice that maybe there's a bit in this lens or championship as well. We're so proud of supporters, that must be your greatest day in the Carolina jersey, you draw the fingers like a winning supporter. Well, it does, and it does, but like, you know what I mean? Like, we were well, we didn't, we could have went down on it, you know what I mean? Like, I suppose the last couple of games we had gone to in Dublin, we were in the game, but we didn't get anything old again, and that was a big thing to do, if we were in the game, actually going and getting something out of here. So, yeah, we have to go and get into their teams, huh? Yeah. You set the town early on, you got two outrageous scores, and a third one followed, soon after, and like, it was a difficult time, it was difficult to start, Carlo went seven down, and like, there's times when Carlo would have opened, like, I mean, you compared this, I know you can't compare it once, go up the time with it, but even the time wrote from that point of view, the work that you've done, it's no more than you deserve, Chris. Sure, yeah, look, I was saying it to a lad over there, it was just a self-belief, like, just probably nobody from Carlo anywhere gets a chance outside of those four wads, you know what I mean? And when we brought that self-belief and that onto the field, you could see the crowd starts to believe in as well, and they got behind us, and you know, there are 16 men in the drops of the line there. Yeah, you wouldn't like to be playing them first two games, darling. How bad was that, where was it? It was in the first one, it was in his case, it was bad enough, but like, look, I had to get back on the horse and go again today, you know, I ordered the lads out there. Yeah, first two games, it just wasn't good enough for me to highlight, but you weren't really there, it's not how it was a bit, but look, I'm all over it now. He said the standards, yeah, this is a big boost going into expert. It is like, but we have to drive on now as well, you know, we have to make this point or something, we know what's wrong in the corner, and that is how you manage it. What, the minute we get enough to fail here and all, we get to the target, and we start preparation straightaway. First off, Chris, and this is the border, thanks a minute, it's definitely the greatest thing in the world, and all the rest of the world, and all the rest of the world. Try most, Kevin, Kevin, I can't say this to everyone, but I drive it feels like a win, but how does it feel to you? It does feel like a win, like it was, you're never expecting to, first of all, you don't get to money games against me, Kenny, so the fact we know we don't come in here, we made them in 2019, we handle ourselves, that was a small bit, today we handle ourselves now, and we stay away as a livery end, that's coming off the bench, finishing off the job, like, it was just, it never said, oh yeah, actually, there, like, it has done a more few win in the free at the end, most but not over, like, it had, it had everything, we saw it late. I just can't get over the fact that, like, you were 7 points down against it, Kenny, we're usually, you're so roadless, I mean, you were absolutely incredible, just grow a main crane open, that fighter saw us. No, I don't believe, like, I look, it's great to get our first points on the board, after playing against Galway, and doing well enough, playing against Dublin, feeling a bit hard on where I'm looking, so it's great to be, you know, I finally start kicking off the campaign, we have points, we have two very big games going, now again, to make sure that home, so I do massive sport here again, and then, kind of, enough to answer them for the last one. And it's not a long run about the ones on the challenge of Kevin, this is a lot of noise about it, but maybe it's my, maybe you'll need to stand up and take a bit of notice, because not to be drawn into that, but three minutes of coverage after the first two games, you'll surely get forward this time. Ah, you never know. In fairness, all of our lives, all we're doing is kind of, you know, keeping our head down, trying to get the job going every day, we go, we're not spending, we're not spending too much time looking at the Sunday game, our job is kind of, you know, you might look at video analysis of the different teams, what, we'll see how we go. Well, look, onwards and upwards, and as the boarder hangs a million, it's amazing day, and what a day for Carla, well, it was great, thanks very much, Kevin. We're with Johnny, Johnny, you've seen some very good days for Carla, a lot of very bad days. We've just drawn with the Kenny in the lesser scene, the hole in time. Someone looked for us there. Yeah, sure, so obviously it was a savage occasion, and a savage performance. I thought we were very unlucky again, doubling today, so we needed to get something over the Kenny game today there, and they got, they got a draw, but so I looked, they have two games, lifting their wigs for an anthem, they have their chance now with this stage. But today they were really in the, I suppose, in the second half, the hurdle up in the first half. I think the substitutions that the management made a half-time strength in the team, and they were really hurling within themselves 20 minutes into the second half. Would you class even though this is a draw? Is this, where is this rank in terms of days for Carla? Sure, look, at any day your draw with your Kenny is a good day, but I wouldn't be getting too excited about it, I just think that we need to get something. Now we have wigs for them, we have some instruments. Today is going to be up there with all the great days of Carla hurling, but we need to get something out of one of those games now, or two of the games, to stay in, to stay in the Lee McCarty, and to justify ourselves being in the E McCarty competition. Grounded and measured, it's always done and furnished here. You have to be don't you? Oh yeah, you have to stay grounded and on farcely today's performance, it'll be about next Sunday's performance now against Wigsford here. That's this one at a roll for a couple of days, but after that it's gone and it's about next Sunday against Wigsford here then. Oh, where's Lopers? That's the way it is, yeah. As long as it's always, thanks John. Shall I have that? Um, someone else is there, will you? Oh, just wait this. Ah, it's hard, someone up here is great. Like, you know, I'm probably going to be passing in for a minute but like, to have one degree, probably degree. I think we're going to come the car on, go away with the draw, it's great, and probably feel it's maybe a little bit disappointed when we start to win the game. We'll, uh, we'll take for a little bit later. It's mad, it's worse, we're treating the draw as a win, and I don't know if there's a field where the draw's actually going there, and we'll just bite it in. Maybe that's a sign of where things are and I'll just... Absolutely careful, like that's all, that's all I want to stand in front of now, unless you want to back it up next week and that's the big thing now, like, you know, get down off this hood and get grounded again, go up there, wait a second, I know there might be something there for a few, but he's got what, um, you know, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's hard to get in there, so like, you know what, you know what, you know what, um, it's all came to happen, you know, so like, it came to happen, so, it's hard to enjoy it with, uh, a minute water, all things. Yeah, uh, it can't be in the reject, was it? Yeah, it's hard, just a kind of nickel there, last during the week there, so, you know, I could have, but I wouldn't have, I wouldn't have, couldn't really, because I just wasn't getting any better, so it let, let this week off and back next week, please go. Look, I mean, it's this point and not to be able to lay on a dirty table. I know I'll be your demeanary, you look at the bigger picture. Of course, absolutely, I know, this is a great car, look at all this. Well, whatever, a lot of people out there, yes, but, um, it's, you know, it's great for the way you're on to see, you know, as it came on, you know, in mind, it's been a lot of perfect, you know, we came back a bunch of half time, and, uh, it's great for, for, for us as a whole, as a, as a panel, as a county, um, on the raised kids, you know, it's great for all of them, it's a bit of a belief in all vehicles, the lead rating of a forward. And lastly, a word on your rotor, that was pressure. Yeah, no, I was nervous for him, he said, no, because he was not in Jersey, he was not in the county, but, uh, he missed out, and I was very nervous for him, and while the three took in his life, I was the one who had to go over, and I knew I didn't know, but I was, I was confident he would, and he stepped up there, and it took balls, and he made it. For stuff, ours is not worth checking, well, don't you run as already. That was kind of neat, sorry for us. Yeah, San-Rilla, just to let you together, as well as you know, um, just to be there in our boats again, and we're for fun, short, last few weeks off, just to get everyone done, that's the best part, so, what was going on here for the previous? Ah, it's not fair enough. We learned it. So it was wicked, fierce, nervous, so we're checking, ah, where you see the, you might never get a chance again to have a free to, to level the game, because it's Kenny and, uh, seeing a championship game, so, you know, as I say, it can choose who's called, so, where you saw the play, which came in. Yeah, well, it's not fair, it's not for short, you want to reason that, it's what I think I learned a little three years ago, that was not simply right, so, I mean, you come on, we've all got some four, and it's worth worth, douse. I mean, you, what do you do with the same after playing, you know, it's not really a natural for everyone to be nervous more, and to step up and do what they do, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's all your ball. Yeah, we thought we were supposed to, um, be funny, be careful, I suppose we were the practice comes in, you know, and, uh, you try visually, as you're saying, those moments, when you're, when you're taking fees in Fennar, or, or wherever it may be, and, uh, when they're actually, when it happens, I'm actually like, yes, just say stick to your routine, and, uh, just, if you're relieved to see it go over, no? Yeah, just so look here, there's grown men playing with that fight, like, and a few percent ones, man. Yeah. Well, that's what that means, it's worth it. Ah, it's massive, look, it's, I suppose, we're, we're right on the border, like, you know, we, we're, uh, right on the border with Kenny, and, you know, there are unbelievable team, when that's obviously, we, uh, we look up to the Kenny teams, you know, we grew up looking at Kenny teams with other teams, and it's trying to be like that, um, and we, we, we take it off for granted, we're a very privileged position to be able to beat him, and, uh, we've took our fair share, uh, share our basins, and, uh, get a result like that, it's massive for us. Yeah, that's worth it, but, uh, we, uh, just find out the limits. Yeah, well, this thing is not to win, like, because, again, the game was there to be won, and we didn't, but, like, the opening game, I'm going to call the way, we ran, call the way, and they pushed on, and, um, we go, the opening game hurt us a lot, um, we, that was there to be won, later they, both, uh, again, we, the big thing was we got some over, because they went too up, you know, at the time, and we showed some of the characters there to get too reigned, so we're late. Yeah, well, look at this, and, uh, we're looking slow, we know that we go next week, you know, and, uh, we're going back to John back, that's not going, so, uh, if you back it up now, we'll give back a share now, if it's what he's ready to think. I just want to put this well in my car, and you are still over here for the last half, and now we're saying, oh, that's what I'm going to call us, and we really appreciate what you would do for not just, like, us, or the supporters, and the old kids that ran around the stairs, like, well, don't, you're a great bastard, a lot of slopers. Thanks very much, thanks very much. - Thank you. (whooshing)
