Donegal v Armagh brawl slammed as Gardaí forced to intervene
There were ugly scenes at the final whistle after Donegal edged out Armagh by a single point after extra-time.
Niall O'Donnell was the hero for Jim McGuinness' men as he kicked what the winning point with two minutes to go in extra-time, with Donegal closing out the game to become the 100th winner of the Anglo Celt Cup as they won by 2-23 to 0-28.
A brawl broke out following the final whistle in Clones as members of both sides were involved and Gardaí were forced to step in.
Speaking after the game, McGuinness said on the unsavoury scenes: 'I don't have a perspective on that. It's not nice to see. It shouldn't happen. I was giving my daughter a hug at the time. I didn't see what happened, but it shouldn't be in the game.'
GAA disciplinary officials are now expected to review footage of the incident, with suspensions possible. The row broke out as fans made their way on to the pitch after the game.
Meanwhile, Michael Murphy told how days like Saturday are why he decided to come out of inter-county retirement.
"Ulster is always our bread and butter, it's always our thing, for so many years we could never win them," he told RTE after being named the Man of the Match.
"It's just brilliant to get back in again and just the heart and the desire of them lads out there today, the people in Donegal in general.
"There were times when we were in (the game), we were out and we were back in and back out, but it's just great that we got out on the right side of it there today."
He added on Armagh: "Listen, Armagh are an absolute incredible side, they're an absolute credit. They're All-Ireland champions, they've been in Ulster finals the last number of years.
"They're a brilliant side. It's not the last we're going to see of them this year."

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's Besiktas survive scare to knock out St Pat's
BESIKTAS ADVANCED against St Patrick's Athletic after suffering a scare in their Uefa Conference League third round qualifier in Istanbul tonight. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side eventually won 3-2 on the night and 7-3 on aggregate, but it was a less-than-straightforward progression. After winning the first leg 4-1 in Dublin, the Turkish side might have been expecting another routine victory this evening. But first-half goals from Conor Carty and Ryan McLaughlin made it 2-0 to the Saints on the night and 4-3 on aggregate, as the Irish side threatened an unlikely comeback. Former Bolton youngster Carty opened the scoring with a penalty in the third minute. After a VAR check, Emirhan Topçu was adjudged to have handballed Jake Mulraney's cross, and the ex-Ireland U21 international sent goalkeeper Mert Günok the wrong way from the spot.

Besiktas' defence failed to deal with Barry Baggley's lofted ball into the box, and it eventually fell to McLaughin, who fired home first time after Joe Redmond did well to win a header in the area.

Pat Spillane blasts major GAA decision as an 'embarrassment' and an 'insult'
Pat Spillane, in his thoughts on the 2025 season, has called the GAA's decision to host the jubilee team celebrations before the All-Ireland finals an 'embarrassment' and an 'insult'. The Kerry legend is still involved in the media . He wrote a typically entertaining column in the Sunday World and voiced his opinion on several issues. Among them was the jubilee team celebration. Each year, the winning All-Ireland team from 25 years ago is invited to Croke Park to celebrate their achievement. However, the GAA has changed the running order in recent years, with the jubilee team now presented to the crowd before the game rather than at half-time. "Having the presentation of the jubilee team in front of a couple of thousand people is an embarrassment and an insult," Spillane wrote in his column. He also criticised the organisation for their pre-final entertainment, saying the NFL will pull out all the stops for their game in Dublin this September. "America's NFL will be here in a couple of months. They're going to take over Dublin for the week. They're going to have street parties. They're going to have fan zones. They're going to have marching bands. They're going to have a festival of American football in Dublin for the week," he wrote. "Surely to God, when it comes to the All-Ireland senior football final and the All-Ireland senior hurling final, the GAA could up its game? Instead, it's a box-ticking exercise. They're going through the motions." The decision to change the jubilee presentation pre-match has drawn criticism in some quarters, with Offaly requesting that their 1998 team be presented at half-time. Kilkenny were honoured before this year's final, and the ceremony made headlines after DJ Carey's name was booed pre-match. Carey's name was met with jeers and boos from the crowd as it was read out under an hour before throw-in. The Croke Park stadium announcer said of the nine-time All-Star winner: "Full forward DJ Carey from the Young Irelands. He scored 1-4 on the day, claiming his third All-Ireland of five in total and he would end the year with the eighth of his nine All-Star awards. DJ is not with us today." The five-time All-Ireland winner recently pleaded guilty to 10 counts of defrauding a number of people out of money while pretending he had cancer.

Shamrock Rovers blow Ballkani away to book a trip to the Azores
Uefa Conference League third qualifying round second leg: Shamrock Rovers 4 (Gaffney 45+1, 48, Honohan 55, Burke 67) Ballkani 0 [Rovers win 4-1 on aggregate] European specialists at work: Shamrock Rovers will play Santa Clara at Estádio de Sao Miguel on the Portuguese archipelago of the Azores in the Uefa Conference League play-off first-leg next Thursday. The second-leg in Tallaght on August 28th, following 16 hours of chartered flights, is two days after Heimir Hallgrímsson names the Republic of Ireland squad for the World Cup qualifiers against Hungary and Armenia. Despite Rory Gaffney's brace of goals, it is unlikely that Hallgrímsson was among the 6,419 attendance to consider capping a 35-year-old striker. With Robbie Brady injured, however, Josh Honohan possibly convinced the Icelander to consider him for Hungary's visit to Dublin on September 6th. READ MORE Honohan was excellent down the left before his 67th minute volley put Ballkani out of their misery and allowed Stephen Bradley run his bench ahead of Sunday's FAI Cup tie against Longford Town. Shamrock Rovers' Rory Gaffney in action against Ballkani's Sunday Adetunji. Photograph: Ryan Byrne/Inpho The first-half was ticking to conclusion when Bradley and Stephen McPhail entered conclave. The best laid plans had yet to deliver an equaliser in this do-or-die, qualifier. Only three to six million euro was on the line. We imagine the manager and his sporting director were hoping all Rovers' possession and chances could turn into a goal before the break. Gaffney obliged. The Rovers system revolves around Matthew Healy picking the right pass. Bradley stuffed the pitch with capable midfielders yet there was no room for Graham Burke or Jack Byrne, with the latter deregistered from the European squad after a recent disagreement at training. There is only seven Ireland caps between them, but with Danny Mandroiu on a yellow card, and under referee Mohammad Al-Emara's eye following his third foul, the creativity Burke and Byrne offer suggested a selection error by the Hoops. But Bradley is as much a tactician as he is a patient coach. Twice before his goal stood, Gaffney unlocked the visitor's rearguard. Graham Burke celebrates scoring Rovers' fourth goal. Photograph: Ryan Byrne/Inpho When Dylan Watts sent him galloping off the last defender's shoulder on 35 minutes, he hit a lovely finish that coincided with the linesman's flag. VAR agreed. Offside. Four minutes later, when Pico Lopes sent Gaffney clear again, the Galway man danced inside Bakram Jashanica only for Arber Potoku to block the shot with a last ditch lunge. It was at this moment that Potoku made a silly mistake. The fullback leapt up and pursued the centre forward to roar in his face. Gaffney did not batt an eyelid. Seconds later, Potoku collapsed to the grass in agony – sore throat perhaps? – to waste a few minutes and ideally break Rovers forward momentum. The prankish behaviour backfired spectacularly. The revenge tour began in first-half injury time when Gaffney punished Adnan Golubovic inability to hold Mandroiu's cross after a clever pass by Healy. The striker abandoned his celebration to find Potoku for a chat. Any concerns around Gaffney keeping the outstandingly talented teenager Michael Noonan in reserve were allayed three minutes into the second-half. Shamrock Rovers manager Stephen Bradley. Photograph: Ryan Byrne/Inpho Rovers were rampant now, Connor Malley hustled to the end line and cut back for Gaffney who, with Potoku firmly attached to his shorts, produced a back-heel finish to the far corner. Six minutes later Ballkani coach Orges Shehi put Potoku out of his misery, replacing him with Walid Hamidi. It made no difference as within seconds Honohan's lethal strike ended the contest. Burke came off the bench to make it 4-0, offering clear proof that Irish club football is easing past the best Kosovo can produce. Meanwhile, 2,000 kilometres away, Santa Clara were ending Larne's European campaign with a drab 0-0 after scoring three goals at the Ballymena Showgrounds last week. The play-off between Rovers and Vasco Matos' Brazilian-heavy squad is a two-legged contest worth €3.17 million for the victors as well as six lucrative group matches up to Christmas week. SHAMROCK ROVERS: McGinty; Grant, Cleary, Lopes, Grace, Honohan (Matthews 71); Healy; Watts (McGovern 71), Malley (Nugent 70), Mandroiu (Burke 64); Gaffney (Noonan 64). BALLKANI: Golubovic; Smajli, Halili, Jashanica, Potoku (Hamidi 54); Deliu, Ismajlgeci (Diene 68), Letaj; Giovanni (Tolaj 81), Adetunji (Serebe 68), Kryeziu. Referee: Mohammad Al-Emara (Finland).
