Which GAA star has enough of ‘God Save The Queen’?

A Donegal GAA star has revealed that he is fed up hearing ‘God Save The Queen’ being played during the Olympics in Rio!

Mark McHugh, like thousands of other fans with a keen interest in sport, has been tuning into the games in Brazil.

Irish fans are currently up in arms at the minute, following the disgusting decision given against Irish boxer Michael Conlan yesterday morning.

Conlan was robbed in one of the worst decisions you’re ever likely to witness at an elite level.

McHugh, like everybody else was outraged, and he tweeted, “I would love them judges to train like @mickconlan11 for 1 week and then multiply that by 4 years to realize what they just done. #NotFair

However, blatant corruption in boxing wasn’t the only thing getting on his nerves at the Olympics – Team GB’s national anthem ‘God Save The Queen’ is also grinding his gears.

The Kilcar clubman hilariously tweeted, “If that Queen isn’t saved after the amount of times I’ve heard that anthem these last few days she never will! #Rio2016

Brilliant!
