Kieran McGeeney blasts ‘degrading’ perception of Ulster football

Kieran McGeeney fears supporters may have to be segregated in the future because of how the media perceives Ulster teams as cynical and over-physical.

Ahead of his county’s provincial quarter-final against Cavan at the end of the month, the Armagh boss describes as “degrading” what he regards as misconceptions of northern sides.

Asked about the belief the game in Kingspan Breffni Park might be the “ugly Ulster” clash, McGeeney said: “I am lucky in the fact that I was in the changing rooms down south and in changing rooms up north. I have seen the perspective and people’s perspective of how different teams play and what they do.
