Donegal’s rising tide will lift all boats

Given the manner in which Donegal convincingly disposed of yet another recent All-Ireland champion eight days ago, there could only be one subject to fill this week’s column.

In the immediate aftermath, some were so taken with the performance of the Ulster champions against Cork that the labelled them as ‘unbeatable’.

Two years ago many of these same players were humiliated in Crossmaglen by an Armagh side we had tanked only a few weeks earlier. Yet now they are considered the team of the year? If that really is the case somebody should quickly get Jim McGuinness into Dáil Eireann to see if he can turn our economy around with similar haste.
