Audio: Jim McGuinness and the Donegal siege mentality

Donegal manager Jim McGuinness used his post-match interview on RTE on Sunday to have a go at the Sunday Game analysts and their treatment of his side.

McGuinness's men had ground out a win over Antrim in a dour Championship opener last month.

As the solitary match on the weekend, it had The Sunday Game to itself - and the pundits, who included Pat Spillane, did not resist putting the boot in.

McGuinness felt his players were disrespected. He advanced the belief that some people think Donegal football is a joke, and he's not having it.

It's the latest in a ream of criticism to come RTE's way, coming on the back of the recent unrest among the country's GAA managers (really, shouldn't they have something more important to worry about?) over the decision not to promote Brian Carthy to the role of main commentator following Micheál O Muircheartaigh's retirement.

So what do you think?

Is it a perfectly-judged piece of siege mentality which will rally his troops for the big test against Tyrone on Sunday week?

Or is the Donegal manager just a bit delusional?

Listen to the clip above and make your own mind up.
