Murphy: Lay off our style

MICHAEL MURPHY has branded some of the criticism of Donegal’s style of play as “disgraceful” and “disrespectful” and believes the county can take heart from the way Dublin claimed Sam Maguire on the back of similar reconstruction.

Jim McGuinness defended his tactics time and again over the summer, starting with the first game of the championship back in May when they faced Antrim in Ballybofey and all the way through to their exit at the hands of Dublin in the semi-final.

The Kerryman commented how the first half was like looking into the apocalypse, before moving onto saying that the Donegal team played ‘shiite football’ and then concluding by saying that the Glensmen’s management team should be brought to the Hague for crimes committed against gaelic football.
