Brolly is correct but he is a complete hypocrite. He has spent the last 8 years eulogizing his beloved Tyrone for using the same tactics.
There's a bit of truth in this.
I beg to differ with ya, me oul’ segotia: no doubt about it but there’s a lot of truth there.

Shortly after Tyrone’s AI win in ’05, Brolly really went into overdrive praising the (then) present team and the overall football structures in the county.
Joe couldn’t se a sign of weakness in any sector of the team and asserted that Tyrone would be a dominant force in Irish football for years to come.
He put their dominance down to the generous funding the county board was getting courtesy of the GFA and to the farsighted approach of the said county board that had set up superb coaching structures to develop under-age talent.
He claimed Armagh were doing a fine job in that regard also and Derry were also starting to put their grant money to good use.
He wrote this eulogy in his column in the ‘Irish News’ and while I forget the finer details of his article, I have referred to it several times on here in the interim.
I do recall what Shane Curran had to say on the subject of Ulster sides taking the Queen’s shilling and putting iit to good use and it mirrored Brolly’s own take on the subject.
It is hypocritical for him now to sing a different tune when it appears to suit his purposes.
I think he is way off the mark on another matter also ands that is the animosity that he alleges exists between neighbouring counties down south.
He said Mayo folk don’t support Galway and I assume he infers that the same applies in reverse.
That’s bollixology.
I had reason to drive through North Galway in ’96 and then on through Roscommon on my way to Croke Park for the AI.
I was amazed at the number of red and green flags flying in both counties. Loads of Mayo supporters got into the ground early to support the Rossie minors.
I am picking only one year as an example but I’ve no reason to doubt that things have ever been any different.
I’m afraid Joe is just being his usual mischievous self when he comes up with the likes of the article we’re referring to.
