McGuinness: The end justifies the means

EVER since his comments about their ugly win over Antrim, Pat Spillane hasn’t exactly been flavour of the month in Donegal.

His remarks about them at half-time yesterday, referring to the first-half as “Armageddon” and talk of “Shi’ite (sic) football”, will only enshrine him position as persona non grata in the county.

Jim McGuinness, though, was keen to stress the irrelevance of the brickbats aimed at his team’s style of play.
