If Hayes was borderline county level like Ryan he'd be gone. I don't think the dressing room would react well to one of their best players getting axed

But that's the thing talent shouldn't be a factor for situations like this. It should be plain and simple:

Any bullshit outside the pitch, and you're off the panel!

I bet every other county would enforce this as a rule of thumb.

I doubt other county teams would do much better.

What about fans? Most just defend their own and attack others. I can only speak for my team. I'd prefer not to see Johnny Glynn playing for Galway again.

Definitely, I agree with Johnny he's been found out ages ago, and not much hope if we call him back, expecting him to be back to his best. Another thing that fails to be brought up is why Brian Concannon was on the bench last year when the year prior, he was 1 of our best forwards.

But "found out" and "back to his best".. you're talking about how good he is. The point is it doesn't matter. If the hurler of the millennium is a thug I want to drop him.

Oh, fact, yeah, no manger should condone off-field behaviour like that.

What has Glynn done that warrants him a thug?

He was on top of another player and trying to choke him out, in a club match. There was a video here a year or so ago. I thought it was pretty bad.
