Donegal goalkeeper Mark Anthony McGinley wasn’t too happy with the news of Rory Gallagher stepping down as Donegal manager on Monday night.
Fermanagh native Gallagher, who was appointed as the county’s manager in 2014, to replace Jim McGuinness, notified his players of his decision on Monday night, prior to a meeting of the Donegal county committee.
Gallagher had been involved with the Donegal senior football side in 2012, as a selector, when they lifted the Sam Maguire.
McGuinness parted company with the men of the hills in October 2014, and Gallagher took the reigns.
At this stage Gallagher was given a three-year deal with the option of a fourth year available, and this deal was since extended last autumn, when he was given a new four-year deal.
The decision came on the back of a disappointing season for a youthful Donegal side, who were hammered by Tyrone in the Ulster decider, before a crushing and eventually telling loss to Galway in the qualifiers.
Extremely disappointed to see Rory go! Sad day when keyboard warriors & people who think football was invented in 2011 get their way!!

In fairness to Rory I'd have probably done the same. If half the county is giving out about you then why bother try to bring them success!!
