Joe Brolly reckons county footballers are "indentured servants", writes Paddy Heaney.

After consulting my dictionary, I agreed with him. After all, servants aren’t supposed to think for themselves. They do what they are told and they don’t ask questions. That’s how county footballers are supposed to act.

Consider the following example. Last Friday afternoon, one of my colleagues contacted an Armagh player and asked him for an interview. Typically of the average county player, the individual was friendly and courteous.
