No doubt kerry were off colour yesterday for whatever reason?, but that's their business.

Donegal could only worry about their own performance and we were excellent. Alot being made of thr Murphy incident, was it a red card? Of course it was. It wasn't the first red card not issued this year and it won't be the last, happens all the time in GAA. Whelan pontificating last night people in glass houses and all that. Commentary on the incident has been OTT.

In three weeks time no one will remember the league and it will be full tilt into championship mode. We learned alot from last July and no doubt kerry will learn more than Donegal from yesterday.

No doubt all the experts on the multitude of podcasts will be doing from last week's view that we are now entering a period of kerry dominance, Armagh will also be having a big say in ulster and beyond this year I'm sure.

A few ghosts banished yesterday for both players and supporters. Really excellent performance against a flat Kerry side who actually started well and looked to come out at the start of the second half with the bit between their teeth but the quick fire goals put paid to that. Big performances all over the field, Langan was imperious. Jason again fantastic like having a new player and in the form of his life. Conor O'Donnell gave Foley a torrid time and gave Murphy more freedom. Brilliant performances from McColgan who didn't give Clifford an inch plus Max Campbell who was fantastic. Mulreaney had another very good day and of course Michael Murphy looked incredible put goes without saying should've seen red. I didn't see the incident clearly either even though the media are claiming it was just Jim and Gough who missed it. Given the players who were out hard to read too much into the game but what it does do is heal any psychological effects for the players after last July. If we meet later in the year they will go out with full belief which might not have been the case a couple of months ago. Another exciting summer ahead. Congrats to all the squad and management especially Murphy and Jim who have the full set bar under 21 and minor. Prepare for an absolute blockbuster if these two sides meet later in the summer with it all on the line. Looking forward now to Wednesday and the under twenties who have built nicely after getting out of jail against Fermanagh though my jaw hit the floor when I seen the score Derry put up against the same opposition at the weekend.

Replying To ModernMaharaja:  "A dub? I'm from Donegal and not afraid to call it as it is"
I replied to the wrong person.

But anyway, Murphy hasn't always been at that.
