Donegal's All-Ireland parade antics could land them in trouble
It's been a rough couple of days for Donegal after their All-Ireland defeat to Kerry on Sunday. Having been resoundingly beaten and outplayed, many have already highlighted their outdated tactics and their poor defence of Kerry's two-point plays. Some ridicule had already started when they broke off from the traditional parade procession and began their final preparations before throw-in. Michael Murphy dejected after the All-Ireland final.

The Irish Examiner are reporting that a number of complaints were made about Jim McGuinness' side's antics before throw-in. This wasn't too unexpected as in Jim McGuinness' previous All-Ireland finals in 2012 and 2014, his Donegal side did the exact same thing. Kerry boss Jack O'Connor mentioned that his side had talked about the expected shenanigans and how they would deal with it. The Kerry team march on their own during the parade. Pic: Piaras Ó Mídheach/Sportsfile 'I'll tell you the truth now. We had enough no play to mind our own business, besides worrying about what Donegal were doing but we spoke about it on Thursday night, that regardless of what happened, we were going to finish the parade. That's what we did. I know Donegal broke a bit early, but sure that's their business. We can only deal with our side of it.' However, this time they have appeared to have landed in hot water as they had a 16th man in their procession for the parade. Their captain was Patrick McBrearty and he was a substitute on the day. McBrearty led the starting 15 meaning they had 16 and violated rule 1.7 of the GAA's match regulations that state; 'The team captain shall lead the parade and only the 15 players commencing the game as per official team list may march in the parade, in team jerseys and numerical order.' The punishment for this breach isn't known as of yet, but it could lead to a fine.

The GAA All-Ireland football final between Kerry and Donegal will take place on Saturday, July 27. It is scheduled to get underway at 3.30pm BST / 10.30am ET. Croke Park in Dublin, Ireland is the chosen venue for this iconic match and it can host a whopping 82,300 fans. Armagh won their second title, with a 1–11 to 0–13 win against Galway in the 2024 final. How to watch the GAA All-Ireland football final for FREE The GAA All-Ireland football final will be broadcast LIVE on BBC Two Northern Ireland. Fans can stream the entire action for FREE on BBC iPlayer. It will also be shown on RTE One - instead of the usual RTE Two - in Ireland because of the Women's Euro 2025 final between England and Spain. Coverage is expected to get underway from 2:15pm BST - one hour and 15 minutes before the throw-in. Fans in the US can watch the match through the GAA+ stream or website. Alternatively, SunSport will have coverage of the entire action through our live blog. Who will be the referee? The GAA has announced that Brendan Cawley will officiate this year's All-Ireland football final between Kerry and Donegal. It'll be the Kildare native's first time refereeing Gaelic football's showpiece occasion. Most read in GAA Football The Sarsfields clubman has been on the inter-county officiating circuit since 2019 and is a widely respected figure across the game.

Kerry are set to wear their alternative blue kit in order to avoid a colour clash in this year's All-Ireland football final. Common sense seemed to be ignored for Donegal's semi-final triumph over Meath when both teams lined out in their traditional green and yellow colours. It is the referee's call whether a colour clash is significant enough that one or both of the teams is compelled to wear one of their alternative strips. Ultimately, Paul Faloon did not deem that a necessary step to take. And in fairness many viewers expressed that they had little to no issue distinguishing Donegal players from Kerry counterparts. But it was a problem for some portions of the TV as well as Croke Park audience.
