Ulster chief has "no issue" with Donegal fans

Tir Chonail supporters poured onto the pitch at Clones on Sunday after Donegal had made history by completing back-to-back Ulster successes, but O'Fearghaile says he wouldn't term the walk-on a "pitch invasion":
"If you have a pitch where you have barriers erected, you can keep people of the pitch," he says in The Star. "You do what you can - you don't fight with your patrons when they want to get in.
"Sure it's not a secure ground; it's an open ground. Matches like that, you rely on patrons.
"We have open wire along the periphery and it's not a sealed area. It happened and that was it.
"It is dangerous when people congregate in close proximity, there is no doubt about that, that's just in general, but we had no issues.
"I wouldn't have seen a pitch invasion. I saw people walking and running onto a field. I didn't see an issue there." Tweet
