"Seventy minutes won't change us from no-hopers to world beaters"

Michael Murphy says Donegal's facile ten-point win over Tyrone will matter not a dot come the championship.
The Tir Chonail men eased past the Red Hands in Ballybofey on Sunday but Murphy insists it'll be a different ballgame when the neighbouring counties meet again in the Ulster championship in May:
"It's two points," the 2012 All-Ireland winning captain says in The Irish News. "Everybody was building up a game between neighbours which will be playing each other in the championship. We needed two points after the last two games we played; that's what it was about for us.
"Seventy minutes changes absolutely nothing. Tyrone have been fantastic through the league and we've been patchy. Seventy minutes won't change us from no-hopers to world beaters. We clicked a wee bit better, that's all.
"What is it? It's March. That'll have no bearing in seven weeks' time. Everyone knows that. Seven weeks' time is the big one."
