Surreal post-match strop at Croker left McGuinness down

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

Like many revolutionaries and ultra-successful football managers, Jim McGuinness is an unreasonable man.

The progress he has made with Donegal is astonishing. In July 2010, he inherited a Division Two team that embarrassed themselves in that year’s Championship. Two years later, he has guided the same bunch of players to the All-Ireland football title.
