McBrearty warns Donegal club and county standoff must be resolved

Donegal footballer Paddy McBrearty has warned that the ongoing standoff between club and county cannot be allowed to continue indefinitely.

All club championship fixtures had already been put back until after their interest in the All-Ireland championship ends this year before a round of league fixtures fell victim to the demands of Jim McGuinness and the senior county side on Good Friday.

Donegal had spent a week training in Portugal and, with the panel only returning the day before, a request was made for the games to proceed without the county representatives or to be deferred. The clubs opted for the latter course of action.
