Donegal players rebel against board

DONEGAL’s entire football panel has rowed in behind outspoken GAA chairman Danny Harkin over his “expenses for players” plea which has angered County Board colleagues in the county.

“I am delighted that the players have supported me on this, and maybe now certain officials will have to concede its time to look at the issue,” Harkin said. “But, I am not resigning over what I said, or I am not back-tracking on a single word I said.
