Michael Murphy: ‘Everybody is chatting about it but nobody is doing anything’

Donegal captain Michael Murphy has admitted life as a club and county player is ‘increasingly demoralising’ in the continued absence of a proper master fixtures plan for the year.

The 2012 All-Ireland winning skipper acknowledged that parts of the new ‘Super 8’ Championship structure which was voted in last weekend, such as potentially hosting Dublin or Kerry in Donegal, are hugely exciting.

But the two-time All-Star feels any change which doesn’t include a wider revamp of the Championship, and a clearer period for club fixtures, is only papering over the cracks.
