Donegal chairman angered by threats

DONEGAL chairman Charlie O’Donnell has received threats following the axing of two top county players from the senior football panel.

Mr O’Donnell got one “very threatening phone call” and a number of “nasty” messages after Kevin Cassidy and Eamon McGee were dropped for a breach of discipline ahead of the drawn NFL final against Louth.

The chairman told a County Board meeting that he had: “received a number of nasty calls from Gaoth Dobhair (the player’s club) and a number of nasty text messages. I don’t think anybody on the county board deserves such treatment”
