Armagh got ‘raw deal’ in Paradegate

Armagh’s siege mentality was clear and present prior to Saturday’s draw when selector Peter McDonnell claimed the team had been given a "raw deal" arising from the Paradegate controversy.

Paul Grimley refused to grant any interviews to the media following the game but former manager McDonnell spoke to BBC Radio Ulster prior to throw-in.

He slammed the GAA’s Central Competitions Control Committee for issuing retrospective one-match bans to Brendan Donaghy, Andy Mallon and Kieran Toner arising from the pre-match melee against Cavan.
