GAA: RTE GAA pundit and former Derry All-Ireland winner Joe Brolly believes Donegal will defeat Tyrone next Sunday in the Ulster SFC.
Brolly offered no in-depth analysis into why he thinks Rory Gallagher will get one over on Mickey Harte in his weekly column in the Sunday Independent.
Instead Brolly simply stated that the laws of physics are permanent and that is why Donegal will defeat Tyrone on Sunday.
Brolly's main issue again focused on the issue of 'defensive' football and negative systems that are being imposed by inter-county managers and how it has become a 'plague' within club football.
However, according to Brolly blanket defences are not just immune to adult football, the modern craze is now sweeping into underage football.
Brolly wrote, "It is said by some that this new defensive game is a fad and that in due course, imaginative strategies will overtake it. Sadly, the laws of physics are permanent.
"So, as Jimmy McGuinness said last week, Donegal will beat Tyrone, because Tyrone's only real option is a running game and there is no space in Donegal's defence for that.
"The alternative is to kick long and quickly but as Dublin illustrated last year, there is no space for that either.
"Eamonn Fitzmaurice understands physics which is why he simply copied Donegal in the final and hoped for the best.
"The reward for his shrewdness was a soul-destroying spectacle and another All-Ireland, courtesy of a fluke kick-out from the country's best 'keeper.
"If highly professionalised county set-ups do not have the resources and strategies to combat the blanket defence, what chance have clubs who train twice a week?
Brolly believes a simple rule change could alleviate most of the issues that are ruining the game as a spectacle for most teams and players.
Brolly said, "I believe there is such a solution. One simple rule change, that applies only on the kick-out. The goalkeeper must kick the ball out beyond the 45-metre line.
"For the kick-out, only the four midfielders can be in the zone between the 45s. The rest of the players must line up as per the throw-in, with six-versus-six inside each 45.
"They do not have to be in their starting positions, so long as there are six from each team inside each 45.
"From the kick-out, the ball is not in play until it is touched by one of the midfielders. Until then, the rest must stay inside their 45. I do not advocate for any other playing rule change.
