Brady bemoans claims of tactical fouling

Former Mayo star David Brady rubbished claims James Horan’s side have been tactically fouling en route to tomorrow’s All-Ireland final.

Brady, furious at comments that the Connacht champions displayed a cynical streak this season, believes the Ulster men are the ones guilty of intentional foul play to benefit their system.

Brady reasoned: “Donegal are being looked at through colour-tinted glasses a year after they were being hounded but their focus is still on tactical fouling around midfield. They intentionally foul to allow the swarm system regroup. At times some of their players pretend they don’t hear a whistle to buy time. As Kevin Cassidy said last year they are also trying to get under opposition players’ skins. That hasn’t gone away.”
