TWITTER WAS PRETTY busy last night as Donegal went down to Dublin.
Jim Gavin’s team ran out 1-10 to 0-7 winners at Croke Park and, probably even more so than usual, there was a very diverse reaction to how things panned out. (Please note we’ve noticed the spelling in the headline – it’s Twitter-spake we hear!)

Here’s some that caught our eye …

Crucial save by #Dublin goalkeeper, Michael Savage. #Donegal‘s Eoin McHugh slid ball past him..Savage ran back & flicked ball off the line

That’s where the scores are taken from, so why wouldn’t you load it with bodies? Ballyboden lauded for it last week https://t.co/UWp13c3M7V

Donegal suffered most from the loss of a man – especially when that man was Murphy. No Plan B once Dublin got comfortable #gaa #DUBvDON

Eamon McGee scored. Will note the date, rather than the time.

Donegal’s blanket shredded by Dublin’s tactic of pressing high up the field and converting turnovers into scores. Death of puke footie! #gaa

Donegal may not win but they’re giving an exhibition in how to play Dublin. Every other county should watch video about 10 times

Donegal are ruining my first trip back… What a load of crap…Michael Murphy has hardly got into the Dublin half.

There’ll be fair shkin and hair flyn if Donegal and Dublin meet later in the year.

Frigid football from Donegal. Dublin have all the aces. On another note, a video still is not enough to incriminate James McCarthy. #GAA

Jim Gavin should be shown the James McCarthy incident post match rather than more meandering rubbish about a tough game.

Tags:Rory Gallagher thinks Michael Murphy gets refereed differently to other players. Unhappy with sending off, particularly 1st yellow #gaa
