Here’s how Twitter reacted to Dublin v Donegal game at Croke Park

Donegal lost out to Dublin at Croke Park last night – but there were plenty of positive in defeat for Declan Bonner’s team.

Trailing by six points at half-time, Donegal were twice back to within a point during the second half, but they were beaten 0-20 to 0-15.

Patrick McBrearty again top-scored with 0-7 for Donegal, while the game saw the return of Michael Murphy, who came on as a second-half replacement.

Here’s how the world of Twitter saw the game …

Donegal have lost five of their last six lge/champ matches now but Paddy McBrearty has been magnificent in each defeat. Never tires of taking defences on.

No points on the board but been a curiously positive League for Donegal so far.

Impressed again by the positive display by Donegal. Might not make sense but they've been one of the best teams in the league even though they've lost the first three. On a summer's day, playing in that manner and with the talent they've got… they'll be a serious outfit

Is there a better forward in the country right now than Paddy McBrearty? The guy has everything and with his partner in crime Murphy back it could be an interesting summer for Donegal. @KCsixtyseven is grinning!

Donegal may be zero from three in Allianz League, but if there was a GAA Player of Year vote today, Paddy McBrearty would be hard beaten.
Some left foot. Hugely ambitious. Terrifies defenders.
Caused Dublin real problems.
Vampiric thirst to go for the jugular.
Class act.
