Brendan Devenney has responded to Eamonn McGee's claim that he was 'disrespectful' to Armagh by predicting Donegal would beat Dublin in advance of Saturday's quarter-final win over the Orchard County.

Last week, Devenney stated confidently that Jim McGuinness' men would dethrone the Dubs in a potential semi-final on August 31 but, following their one-point victory over Armagh, full-back McGee said: "It was ridiculous. It was so disrespectful to Armagh and Monaghan.

"Former players from Donegal who said it out during the week about a Donegal-Dublin semi-final was ludicrous and we were very disappointed in it."

In a tweet today, Devenney (@brendandevenney) clarified that he was answering the question he was specifically asked about a possible Dublin versus Donegal semi-final, and prefaced his reply by stating it was disrespectful to Armagh and Monaghan.

"I was asked about Donegal v Dublin twice, and twice I started my answer with this is very disrespectful to Armagh and Monaghan," he tweeted.
