Donegal great Martin McHugh claims Gaelic football is at a concerning “crossroads”, with defensive tactics ruining the enjoyment of the game for “98% or 99%” of people.

The 1992 All-Ireland winner said he is particularly “fearful” for club football” which he reckons is “terrible in all counties, not just Ulster”.
