Eamonn McGee has criticised pundits who were already talking about a Donegal-Dublin All-Ireland SFC semi-final before Saturday's quarter-finals had taken place.

Former Donegal forward Brendan Devenney predicted last week that Donegal would dethrone the All-Ireland champions if they met on August 31, but McGee described such talk as "ridiculous and disrespectful" after the Tir Chonaill men's fortuitous victory over Armagh.

"That performance will take the edge off all the Donegal-Dublin talk that has been going on," he 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. But, look, that was the circle and it's only what goes on inside the circles that matters."
