Donegal host Armagh in the quarter final of the Ulster senior football championship in Ballbofey this afternoon. Throw-in is at 2pm.

Former Tyrone star Sean Cavanagh bemoaned Armagh's inability to change things up, in their Championship defeat to Donegal on Sunday afternoon.

“There were a lot of diagonal balls into the box to Riain O’Neill, Aidan Nugent and Conor Turbitt. “They had their early season form, and came out of the traps fast in the league. “Donegal looked so composed, and controlled.

'That whole appeals committee is an absolute farce' – Donegal boss ... (Independent.ie)

DECLAN BONNER has claimed the GAA's appeals process is a “farce” after watching his Donegal charges launch their latest Ulster SFC campaign with an emphatic ...

He was exceptional,” said Bonner, who added that it was “too early to tell” the extent of Jason McGee’s injury after the influential midfielder was forced off during the third quarter. “They (McFadden-Ferry and McGee) know the story and in fairness to them, we told we’d get them ready for a semi-final and that’s exactly what we’d be doing. Bonner confirmed that Donegal hadn’t gone down the appeals route because “we normally go by the referee’s report, we were told there was no point really in appealing it.

McConville Thinks Referee Change Needed After Donegal-Armagh ... (Balls.ie)

This afternoon's meeting between Donegal and Armagh was billed as a heavyweight clash up in Ulster, with two sides of immense quality meeting so early in ...

However, Declan Bonner's side will be taking nothing for granted having been upset by the same opposition in a provincial final in 2020. The players are far greater athletes than the referees and we need to compensate for that. I accept 100 per cent that Donegal were way superior to Armagh, Armagh in the second half had the first five or six chances and didn't get anything out of them... For inter-county matches we need two referees, one for each half of the pitch. Soon after, Ryan McHugh was given a very soft free at the other end of the pitch to hand the hosts a handy score. I remember saying five or six years ago that there should be a referee in one half and a referee in the other half.
