Donegal owes An Garda Síochána a great debt of gratitude

Brilliant to see Michael Murphy back in around the square. Scoring rate from play has dipped seriously in recent years but this is more like it. Also like Mac Niallais playing inside with his back to goal, compensating nicely for the loss of McBrearty

Michael Murphy is just outrageous

No stopping Michael Murphy when he's in form like this – you have to think if McBrearty was fit how far would Donegal go this year ? #GAA

Michael Murphy is just so, so good to watch. The ease with how he strokes his shots is glorious to watch.
