Jim McGuinness admitted feeling sympathy for his Dublin counterpart Dessie Farrell following Donegal’s 0-20 to 0-16 Allianz League Division 1 on Saturday night.

The Donegal boss said last month that he believes the Football Review Committee needs to increase the number of permitted substitutes to six and reiterated that stance after watching his team in action for the first time this season in Ballybofey.
