Armagh manager Kieran McGeeney has described the decision as a 'joke' and 'embarrassment'
Donegal boss Jim McGuinness has welcomed the new Championship structure that was passed at GAA Congress on Saturday.
McGuinness said: “I think that's good. I think it'll eliminate dead rubbers. It'll put a premium on teams trying to get to the provincial finals. It'll make the provincial championships more competitive as a result, I would suggest. A game less as well, which is good. They're going back into August with the Championship anyway,” said McGuinness, amid a broad hint from GAA director general Tom Ryan recently that the Championship season would be extended by a couple of weeks.
