Episode 3176: Michael Murphy Is Back For Donegal, Zidane Reborn In Ballybofey, Dublin Get Their Second Wind

With Ciarán Murphy (zero All-Irelands, zero All Stars) sidelined, Paul Flynn (six All-Irelands, four All Stars) joins us in the studio to look back at a gusty weekend of National League football, while Conor McManus (three All Stars, greatest Monaghan player in history) joins us on the line.

We chat friend-of-the-show Michael Murphy’s return featuring a tribute to 2006 era Zidane, Dublin’s wind-assisted win in Tralee and the secret rule scenario.
