VIDEO: Michael Murphy’s free kicks are becoming downright ludicrous and it’s not fair on everyone else

Conan Doherty

Michael Murphy is seven foot tall.

Kills men by the hundreds.

Consumes opposition with fireballs from his eyes and bolts of lightning from his arse.

Donegal’s talisman is almost a myth at this stage. His attributes are through the ceiling, every single one of them.

His sideline against Down last week was just the latest in a long line of ridiculous feats from the Glenswilly man.

But there are no limits with the 2012 All-Ireland winning captain and there is no distance or angle too tough for his dead eye from the dead ball.

If you thought Rob Hennelly’s wallop from downtown against Dublin was good, you were right. On Sunday though, Michael Murphy bettered it.

On the right hand side, a good 50-metres from the target, the Donegal man split the posts effortlessly as the men from the hills ran up another impressive victory, this time against Cork.

And the fan footage from Donegal SportHub really shows the task that Murphy had in front of him.
