Dublin legend Charlie Redmond says he disregards everything Jim McGuinness says.

The former Donegal manager suggested last week that Dubs boss Jim Gavin should retract the comments he made in defence of the suspended Diarmud Connolly, but 1995 All-Ireland winning hero Redmond has hit back by sugesting that McGuinness never stood up for his players:

"Whatever Jim McGuinness says, I just completely disregard because that man brought gaelic games to depths that it has never seen previously," the ex-Dubs attacker told 98FM. "That man's standing with me... he has none.

"Jim Gavin has stood up for his player in a way that Jim McGuinness never did or never could do, because... there's a huge amount of loyalty within this Dublin team. When somebody wrongs a Dublin player - and the Dublin people believe that Diarmuid Connolly was wronged - they are going to stand up and they are going to fight for him.

"And they're going to fight tooth and nail to make sure that player is represented. These players are fighting tooth and nail to give Diarmuid Connolly a chance to get back to Croke Park, albeit in a semi-final or a final if we can get there. They want Diarmuid Connolly to go on to Croke Park at some stage in this championship season and that's their goal."
