Jim McGuinness says people are trying to look in at other counties' training sessions all the time.

Referring to the incident where his friend Patrick Roarty was spotted observing a Kerry training session from up a tree close to Fitzgerald Stadium last week, the Donegal manager - who insists that his former Naomh Conaill clubmate had not been enlisted by the Ulster champions - points out that this kind of stuff is common:

"It was a bizarre one," the 2012 All-Ireland winning manager states in The Irish Examiner. "The bottom line with that is that, espionage is a very strong word to use, but it's going on all the time. We put people out of our own training on Wednesday night and maybe three or four times in the lead in.

"It's going on for the last three or four years. That's the kind of craic that's going on. He is not associated to our camp but there's no doubt he's probably watching training.

"And we have that, we train in MacCumhaill Park some days and we have people in the hotel, looking down from the hotel.

"I'm not saying it was Kerry. I'm not saying that. Previous years as well. We were playing a team and we worked out that one of the coaches was staying in a local hotel. This is what goes on."
