DONEGAL GAA CHIEFS have expressed their annoyance at an injury sustained by attacker Patrick McBrearty in last Sunday’s tie against Dublin.
The Division 1 football league tie took place in Ballybofey with the teams finishing level at 1-10 to 0-13.

However TheScore.ie understands McBrearty was allegedly the victim of a bite to his shoulder during the game.
The Kilcar forward received treatment from Donegal medics at half-time of the incident and received further treatment on Sunday evening at Letterkenny General Hospital.
The incident has annoyed leading officials in the county but it is unclear whether any action will be taken if the referee Padraig Hughes did not see the incident.
The Armagh whistler was forced to leave the game during the second-half after injuring his ankle with Sligo’s Marty Duffy taking his place instead.
McBrearty is the star player for the Donegal U21 footballers who feature in the Cadbury’s Ulster U21 football final tomorrow night in Enniskillen against Cavan.
Donegal are chasing their first title since 2010 and McBrearty has notched 0-12 in their two victories to date over Tyrone and Derry. He is expected to be fit to play in that game.
Disgraceful incident if that’s what happened and has absolutely no place on the football pitch or anywhere in civilised society! However, it is not the first time I’ve heard of this type of assault in inter county football.
Why would they pick a fight with a team that has a huge media backing especially when it will be difficult to prove. There was time to contemplate this too so I doubt it is an impulse reaction to the result.
Well pardon the lad then so for bringing it to the attention of the medical staff that this happened, this did happen and for someone to say its a case of winging is bull! As I said in another post if it was the other way around it would not take two days to get into the national media the culprit should get a lengthy ban nasty thing to do.
If not just souur shpuds, hopefully the player in question gets some more shots on target next time and just hypodermic ones in the arse!! Jimmys winning PR battles!

Hope they took dental impressions from his shoulder in hospital. Drag in all the Dublin players to look at their choppers.
Guilty player should receive a lengthy ban and criminal prosecution.
From a dub.
There can be an awful Whif of sheep of them Donegal heads,poor lad was probably just a bit peckish!
Disgraceful incident if that’s what happened and has absolutely no place on the football pitch or anywhere in civilised society! However, it is not the first time I’ve heard of this type of assault in inter county football.
Sounds like sour grapes to me. Donegal are just a bunch of whingers.
Sure why would they have sour grapes. Isn’t relegation all part of McGuinness’s master plan. What a load of bullshit.
Agreed – sure he said all along that staying up isn’t a priority.
McGuinness’s master plan? Now you’re talking bullshit!
It seems one if the two replying is confused. I was saying that mcguinness is the bullshitter.
Apologies Luca
Theyve been beaten before and never came out with something like this so why would they do it now?
I seriously doubt a team would go public with something like that unless they were certain there was intent there.
Dont try and deflect away from the incident lads.
IF it has happened, and i say IF, would you condone the action of biting on the football field?
Why would they pick a fight with a team that has a huge media backing especially when it will be difficult to prove. There was time to contemplate this too so I doubt it is an impulse reaction to the result.
Huge media support??? The Donegal Democrat never gives the Dubs a fair crack of the whip…
Well pardon the lad then so for bringing it to the attention of the medical staff that this happened, this did happen and for someone to say its a case of winging is bull! As I said in another post if it was the other way around it would not take two days to get into the national media the culprit should get a lengthy ban nasty thing to do.

Ah sure the Dublin players will be grand the gaa will prob blame paul galvin for it ,
Galvin would have given a love bite
dubs are only rotten mungralls for bitten on the field.
If not just souur shpuds, hopefully the player in question gets some more shots on target next time and just hypodermic ones in the arse!! Jimmys winning PR battles!
Your that much of a clown. You can’t even spell the word Mongrel correctly.
dereck il spell it my way and u spell it ur way ya u filthy lookin clown
I sincerely hope the Dublin player in question got a tetanus jab afterwards…
I would like to take this moment to point out that Tyrone had nothing to do with this particular bite.
The dog bit him when he went home blame the dubs for everything
Typical anti-dub rhetoric here. Guilty before anyone knows what went on.
No sense of humour here at all
Got bit on the shoulder heard it all now, what a bunch of whingers
If I bit your shoulder I bet you’d be whinging too.
Bitten
Depends who was doing the biting.
Would that be a shoulder to cry on?
The Walking Dub
Biters will be bitin’?
That’s just nasty, biting someone.
I never knew Luis Suarez had signed for the Dubs….
He could ate an apple through a tennis racket.
Lol class
At least they only spit in Rugby!
Pretty sure they bite as well. Regardless of what sport it is, its not acceptable
You can’t please everyone, I often hear people complain because there is no bite in the game, then when there is….
What about a bit of needle?
Those jackeens were always hungry lads
It’s happening for years at least the gum shield law will ease the pain
Look at him. He’s a ride!!! I bite him any day!
More than likely the bite was from some dirty oul Donegal bird from the night before
How would it be sour grapes, sure they drew the match. Dublin didn’t relegate Donegal sure they didn’t even beat them!
No place for it. Seems that both Dublin and Donegal aware of it. How are they going to prove it?
Bloody savaged
did you mean..
A) Bloodily savaged
B) Bloody savage
C) Bloody savaged he was
