McGuinness rages at final round venue: ‘It would only happen because it's us’

'If I don't say it, who's going to say it? You always seem to be the one that's pointing fingers but at the end of the day, my job, and it's 100% my job, it's the players. The responsibility is to the players'

Donegal boss Jim McGuinness has hit out at the decision to fix their final Group 1 fixture at King and Moffatt Dr. Hyde Park in Roscommon. A one-point win secured their spot in the preliminary quarter-final while Mayo bow out.

A crowd of 18,371 travelled to Roscommon for the game. The result means Donegal will take part in next weekend’s preliminary quarter-final, although they are pushing for that game to take place on Sunday.
