Harte blasts ‘media hysteria’
The Tyrone champions have been banned from all provincial and national competition for the next five years, following controversial incidents in their victory over Dromid Pearses. They will be without seven first choice players for tomorrow’s decider against Clonbur at Croke Park.
Harte blasted: “The subjective nature of the reporting that has gone on since Derrytresk qualified for the All-Ireland club JFC final has been nothing short of disgraceful. The hysteria drummed up by sections of the print media allied to the numerous phone-ins to radio stations would have you believe this was some kind of slaughter of the innocents, with all culpability resting squarely on the shoulders of the Tyrone and Ulster champions.
