Kevin Cassidy says Donegal manager Jim McGuinness was silly to compare Dublin to Chelsea.

McGuinness made the headlines last week when he compared the Dubs' resources to those of Chelsea under Roman Abramovich and former Donegal wing back Cassidy feels he would have been better advised to bite his tongue:

"To be honest I think it was a silly comment," Cassidy is quoted in The Irish Times. "He has given out to Mark McHugh and Eamon McGee in the past for making silly comments.

"I don't know if it is pressure or if Jim is trying to direct stuff away or whatever, but Dublin didn't need any more ammunition because there is enough there already.

"I know some things can be taken out of context, and maybe that's what happened, but there is no need for it. Dublin deserve credit they don't deserve it to be said [that they are successful] because of money.

"To be honest, there is a lot of money in our county as well. Maybe for Jim to say that wasn't right, but I'm sure he realises that now."
