Colm McFadden is glad of extra space

Colm McFadden didn’t hide his relief at saying goodbye to the tactics of Ulster football in Saturday’s All-Ireland qualifier win over Galway.

Kevin Walsh’s side may have played 15 men behind the ball on several occasions but their defence was nothing like what Donegal encountered in their province.

For a forward, even in a more retreated position like McFadden’s on the 45-metre line, it was a welcome change.
