Mulligan bemoans ‘over-the-top’ Ulster fallout

OWEN MULLIGAN has described the criticism of Sunday’s Ulster Championship tie between Derry and Monaghan as “over the top”.

Players on both sides could face lengthy suspensions after a game which has been condemned for its nasty and confrontational nature but Mulligan clearly doesn’t see what all the fuss is about.

“I only saw the second half but I think the reaction was a bit over the top. Players got involved, but there is a great deal at stake there and you will do anything to win. That is what they did, they did anything to win.
