McGuinness accused of ‘bullying’

DONEGAL boss Jimmy McGuinness has been accused of “bullying” a student player by allegedly threatening to axe him if he didn’t play a challenge game at the weekend.

Midfielder Martin McElhinney was listed to play for Dublin City University in the O’Byrne Cup semi-final on Saturday evening but was withdrawn two hours before the game.

DCU manager Niall Moyna claimed he learned at 5.15pm that McElhinney, on the orders of McGuinness, travelled to Clones to play a challenge against Monaghan and twisted his ankle in the warm-up.
