Was listening to Davy Burke interview after Roscommon game.
There was 12 goal chances

Michael Murphy is back with a bang! Armagh were the team with the momentum at the time, but on Murphy's introduction, it rattled his marker Aidan Forker, who stupidly decided to do a Zidane on it and headbutt him into the chest. Unlike Matterazzi in 06, Murphy didn't even flinch. Murphy soon after scored 3 classy points, 2 of his right foot, 1 on his left. Momentum firmly back on Donegal's side and they saw out the game thereafter. Full house in Ballybofey too. The buzz is back in Donegal football. Great to see Murphy back.

Top marks for Murphy for not throwing himself to the ground,

I like the new rules so far, it's definitely encouraging me to watch more football. My football viewing would have been hit and miss over the past few years.

Yeah, I’m watching more myself

Takes some getting used to on a sideline though! At least 3 calls in the match yesterday all to do with new rules that had me for a few seconds until I figured it out

The 13 yard free for tackling a lad too quickly after the solo and go is very harsh right now for kids but they’ll get used to it. Also, we had a lad pinged for catching a messed up kick out before it’s travelled out of the arc. Dissent and giving the ball back for a free haven’t been an issues at all

Murphy put his hands up looked around hoping the ref spotted it.

Much better than rolling around the place,

The scoring in Div 2 is off the charts compared to div 1. Cork and westmeath 3-18 to 3-17. Roscommon scoring 24 points. Meath 23.
Guess division 1 more tactical. Mayo tyrone yesterday was awful stuff. One of these if not both will go down. Donegal flying it, but hard to keep up that level of performance till July

Forker another wannabe hardman, Murphy laughing at him
