NEIL Young’s “Harvest Moon” was used as the backing music to The Sunday Game’s Armagh-Kerry recap in what was a clear nod to this year’s Glastonbury line-up.
Like the Somerset festival, this weekend saw swathes of colour and cheer in Croke Park including Orchard fans in orange contrasted with the green and gold of Kingdom supporters.
And like the 79-year-old Young, Kerry proved there’s life in the old dog yet as they upset defending the All-Ireland champions on the back of an awesome second half display.
They actually trailed by one point at half-time with that deficit extended to five by the 40 minute.
However, the 38-time kingpins kicked into overdrive between that moment and the 55th minute by scoring 14 unanswered points and virtually ending the game as a contest.
Afterwards it was clear that Jack O’Connor had used them largely being written off beforehand to fire his troops up to the nth degree.
And despite the crushing victory the 64-year-old remained fairly fired up himself in his post-match media dealings as he hit out at a few former Kerry players-turned pundits.
O’Connor vented: “What’s to be gained by slating people? It’s the easiest thing in the world. I’m in the business of building people, not knocking people.
“I’d ask people who are knocking that group and knocking people involved with the group to look in the mirror and say, ‘What have you contributed?’
“It’s very easy to knock people. Go away and coach a team. Go away and coach a development squad. Go away and coach a minor team. That’s how you help Kerry football, not knocking people.”
A group-stage defeat to Meath raised major doubts over the All-Ireland aspirations of the Munster champions.
The nine-point loss caused Darragh Ó Sé to claim that ‘the mood isn’t great’ in the county as the former Kerry midfielder tipped Armagh to bring an end to their season.
O’Connor said: “We think we have a lot of good footballers but sometimes we’re being judged on different criteria to other teams.
“For example, Dublin got beaten by Meath in the Leinster Championship and I didn’t see any ex-Dublin players coming out slating the team or slating the management like we had down south in our county.
“There’s a sense of commitment to the team and a sense of loyalty to the team. Unfortunately a few pundits down our way let themselves down in that regard.”
The Kerry cohort in the 70,530 attendance revelled in seeing their team turn a five-point deficit into a nine-point lead during a blistering 15-minute spell.
O’Connor beamed: “A big performance and a big Kerry support came up and backed the team, which is great. We love seeing that because a lot of people had us written off during the week.
“But obviously the supporters felt there was another kick in the team. They’ve seen it happen before.
“They saw it happen in 2006, they saw it happen in 2009. Kerry is a proud county and we weren’t going to fizzle out of the Championship without a hell of a fight.”
Meanwhile, Armagh boss Kieran McGeeney admitted “it’s hard to know” what the future holds after he was asked about the prospect of staying on for a 12th season.
He said: “It’s all about the players first and foremost – what they want and how much they want to push on. My appetite for football has always been the same. I love it. I enjoy it, despite the abuse.
“It’s just one of those things. I don’t know. Maybe it’s an addiction. I haven’t even thought about that.”
JAKE PAUL will use his week promoting Katie Taylor’s trilogy bout with Amanda Serrano to also hold talks over a fight with Anthony Joshua.
Serrano – promoted by Paul – takes on Irish icon Taylor on July 11 at Madison Square Garden following her two controversial losses.
Taylor is also represented by Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing – Joshua’s long-time promoters.
So when Paul & Co stage the historic trilogy fight – talks with Hearn over a shock AJ bout will also be on the agenda.
Paul’s promotional partner Nakisa Bidarian said: “Anthony Joshua, I think that’s the main one that we talked a lot about…
“He’s adamant that he wants to make that fight happen at the end of 2026 and we’re gonna meet with Matchroom while we’re in New York to promote the greatest trilogy in the history of boxing.”
Paul had his first heavyweight fight in November when Mike Tyson controversially came out of retirement aged 58.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer won over eight, revised two-minute rounds but admitted the TWO STONE jump from cruiserweight was gruelling.
Paul, 28, returned to the 14st 4lb stone limit of 200lb in victory over former middleweight world champ Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, 39.
JAKE PAUL’S controversial boxing career rolls on this weekend with the Problem Child facing boxing royalty in Anaheim, California.
Paul will face Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, a highly-decorated former world middleweight champion.
The Mexican, 39, has fought just once in the last four years but has the best boxing resume of any fighter to step into a ring with Paul – bar Mike Tyson, who was aged 58 at the time they fought.

And after his ten-round points win he once again opened the door to moving back up to fight Joshua, 35, taking inspiration from Deontay Wilder, 39.
Paul said: “I’m definitely not a heavyweight but I’m still gonna take the challenge.
“But you know, look at Deontay Wilder, he was beating these guys weighing 215lb.
“Granted he’s like 6’6 or something but anything is possible and I like the challenge.
“People’s criticism is fight someone in their prime, who’s a beast. I think people just want to see me lose! That’s really what the message is behind it all.
“And Anthony Joshua is an insane fight, but I want that challenge. We’ve been DMing back and forth.
“He wants to make it happen. He called me up and it’s looking very likely for next year.”
Paul’s victory California against Chavez – who won the 160lb title 14 years ago – looks set to land him a world ranking in the WBC and WBA.
Anthony Joshua is an insane fight, but I want that challenge. We’ve been DMing back and forth. He wants to make it happen.
Jake Paul
And he called out world champs Gilberto Ramirez, 34, and Badou Jack, 41.
But criticism will remain levelled at Paul having lost to Tyson Fury’s brother Tommy via split-decision in 2023.
The American hit back to insist he is out to avenge that defeat to Fury, 28, which came only three years after turning pro.
He said: “I don’t even think I was a fighter then.
“I was like two years, two and a half years into the sport and I didn’t really know what I was doing. I didn’t have the proper team around me, the proper conditioning.
“My lifestyle outside of the ring was still that of like a YouTuber, celebrity actor, whatever I was at that point. So I wasn’t fully focused on boxing.
“Like I said, this feels like chapter one’s done tonight. Now we’re moving into chapter two and I’m just getting warmed up in this sport.
“But people hold the Tommy Fury thing against me, but what now? I just beat a former world champion and I’m coming to avenge that loss as well with Tommy.”

FROM blood and bodily fluids to used needles, maggots and mouse-droppings, there isn’t much that crime scene cleaner Lauren Baker hasn’t seen – or smelled.
Major crime leaves a trail of devastation – and once police have completed their forensics they call in a crack team of crime scene cleaners like Lauren.
These aren’t your average cleaners. They are highly trained professionals who clean up dangerous hazards, including everything from airborne infectious diseases and killer drug fumes, to explosives, dirty needles and booby traps.
In a new Channel 4 documentary – Crime Scene Cleaners – bodycam footage takes viewers beyond the police tape into the heart of the tragedy.
Trauma cleaning expert Lauren brings years of experience to the most harrowing and dangerous scenes in Kent and Essex.
“I had a gentleman in a flat that was a full decomposition and that was quite bad,” she tells The Sun.
“The first thing that hits you when you walk through the door is the smell. And if it isn’t the smell it is the flies and the maggots that come with it.”
Lauren had worked in a pub and as a domestic cleaner before becoming inspired to set up her own business as a specialist bio-hazard cleaner.
And now she’s well-known in the business for her signature post-cleanse ritual – opening a window at the end to let the spirit of the deceased person be free.
“I had done a clean in a really grotty property, and the gentleman I helped had been suffering physically and mentally, and carers hadn’t been in there,” she explains.
“I thought I could help people like him. So I went home and researched it as much as I could.
“I realised I actually enjoyed the filth and the grime, and I knew there was a market out there. I realised I could help a lot of people through the power of cleaning.”
But being a specialist crime scene cleaner is not for the faint-hearted, as they can be faced with murder scenes, suicides and unattended deaths where people have died alone at home and may not have been found for weeks – or months.
Lauren, who runs LIT biohazard, says: “It is a lot more intense and it takes a lot more of a mental strain on you than a physical strain.”
She admits the toughest job is to clean up a home after someone has sadly taken their own life.
“Obviously they are not your everyday clean up and there is a big story behind them,” Lauren says.
“I remember one of the first ones I went to and it was more of a mental strain than anything.
“We were the ones who found the [suicide] letters, we were the ones who had to take the note off the door and I can still remember what that note said word for word.
We were the ones who found the [suicide] letters, we were the ones who had to take the note off the door and I can still remember what that note said word for word
Lauren Baker
“Sometimes people do it in such a calculated way.
“We then have to go to the families and tell them what we have found. This one person had emptied bank accounts and left envelopes on the side with money in and named who it should go to.
“They had left individual letters. The note on the door was written in red pen saying ‘Do not enter, call 999, there is a dead body inside.’
“That one will always stick with me. It really touched a nerve. You can see how they planned exactly what they are doing, and you can see how they are living as well, which led them to this point, not many belongings, not much food in the cupboards.
“You have got to be strong-minded to do this job. I listen to a lot of music. Sometimes I go home and I do have a little cry in the shower.”
Whenever people find out what blonde-haired mum Lauren does for a living she gets a barrage of questions.
“It sparks quite a reaction when I tell people what I do,” she chuckles.
But there is one question she struggles to answer – what does death smell like?
“You do get used to it. But the smell of death I can’t really describe, it is such a distinctive smell,” she says.
When I first started I remember going home and thinking I smelled of death… one day I even scrubbed myself in Dettol and had about four showers and I could still smell death
Lauren Baker
“We do have strong masks so usually you can’t smell a lot of it. But we swear by putting a bit of Vicks underneath your nose, then your mask, and then you are good to go.
“But when I first started I remember going home and thinking I smelled of death. Psychologically because that is what I’d been smelling all day, that is what you think you smell of.
“One day I even scrubbed myself in Dettol and had about four showers and I could still smell death.”
Crime scene cleaners must wear top-to-toe PPE which is disposed of every day to shield them from dangerous biohazards, like blood-borne pathogens, harmful bacteria and toxic chemicals.
Lauren’s top priority is always keeping her team safe.
She explains: “My first thought is how long have they been there? Is there any decomposition?
“How bad is the clean-up going to be? We could be walking into a bloodbath. We could be walking into needles everywhere.
“You can have faeces, you can have bodily fluids, we don’t know what we’re walking into.”
In the show Lauren’s American counterparts are seen dealing with the scourge of fentanyl addiction and deaths – which pose their own dangers as inhaling airborne fentanyl fumes can cause serious side effects to police officers and crime scene cleaners.
We could be walking into a bloodbath. We could be walking into needles everywhere. You can have faeces, you can have bodily fluids, we don’t know what we’re walking into
Lauren Baker
But thankfully that isn’t something she and her team have experienced in the UK – although they do face different risks on a daily basis.
“There are risks – we have to be vaccinated to do our job,” she says.
“If we have a person who has passed away in his home and he has an infectious disease, that then can become airborne as his body decomposes.
“We have gone into homes and done needle sweeps before and you will be surprised where you can find needles.
“You’ve really got to have your wits about you and to be prepared for every situation.
“Most of the time people are generally found within three to four days. But you can have cases where people have been sat there for weeks.
“And if that is the case then you get an awful lot of decomposition to clean up and that is when you get flies, maggots, all sorts start to fester in there.
“When someone passes, fluid leaks from every hole in their body.”
Lauren’s firm also tackles hoarder cleans and mental health crisis cleaning.
“A lot of people who are suffering with their mental health, the first thing that takes a hit is their home,” she says.
“They tend to get to a point where they think, ‘I will just step over it,’ and then it gets to a point where there is no walkway to just step over but they are so far in with it that they don’t know a way out.
“That’s where we step in – a messy house is a messy mind. You can’t get yourself back on the road to recovery with a messy home.
“It all depends on the person. We have done houses where it has been box upon box of empty cereal boxes.
We have been in properties where we have picked a can up thinking it was empty and it was full of urine
Lauren Baker
“A lot of the time these people have experienced trauma in their past, or their parents had lived like that so it was just normal. But some of them find themselves in such a state.
“Alcoholics for example. Sometimes they will urinate in bottle after bottle and keep hold of that.
“They have got to the point where their toilet is overflowing and they don’t know how to unblock it so they go in the bottle or the can.
“We have been in properties where we have picked a can up thinking it was empty and it was full of urine.”
Biohazard cleaners like Lauren certainly need a strong stomach as well as a strong mind. But Lauren would not have it any other way.
She says: “I absolutely love my job. I’m helping people through cleaning and I wouldn’t choose to do any other job in the world.”

CRYSTAL PALACE are eyeing Middlesbrough’s £15million-rated star Hayden Hackney.
And Palace could be eyeing a £27m double swoop on the Riverside.
That is after also running the rule over his Dutch team-mate Rav van den Berg at the Under-21 European Championship.
Midfielder Hackney, 23, was part of England’s triumphant Under-21 squad.
Premier League clubs, including Tottenham, have been watching his displays for his hometown team for over a year.
Stuttgart are keen and Porto had a £9m bid rejected for him on January’s deadline day.
Hackney, who came through Middlesbrough‘s academy, has already proved he can cut the mustard against the big boys in his standout displays against both Chelsea and Aston Villa in the cups last season.
New Boro boss Rob Edwards would love to keep their prized asset.
But Edwards knows any cash generated from a big sale would help him fund his own transfer splurge.
He first caught the eye of Palace’s former sporting director Dougie Freedman.
