Jim McGuinness isn’t a pragmatist. He is, Joe says, a pragmatic extremist.

On Free State, Joe and Dion look at the clash between genius and control. 

Through the history of sport, geniuses have always made their own way and systems have been devised to stop them. Will this be the case when David Clifford’s Kerry play McGuinness’s Donegal?

Dion has been at the England-India game at Lord’s and he talks about the instinctive uncoachable genius that can often undo any system. But will genius be enough to undo Jim McGuinness’s?
