Kyle Hayes Suspended Sentence

Did you expect anything else?

Called it. GAA players don't go to jail in this country. In a few months now JP and all the Limerick elite will be slapping his back and he will be put on the bizarre pedestal people in this country afford GAA players. If that was anybody else they would be doing time for it. 100% got away with it.

What's even more sickening is all the praise he got from the Limerick manager, saying he was mature and someone to rely on. The same little toerag pled not guilty to all charged, so that's a complete lie about his character.

I would have thought that the Kiely character witness fiasco - and of course Hayes' own refusal to take any responsibility whatsoever - would have been considered insulting by the judge.

But it seems not, no need to take any responsibility in order to get leniency from Irish courts

"Don't you know who I am?..."

No fan of Hayes, but what he does outside of actual pitch time should have no bearing on his GAA appearances and I'm sure the judge didn't adjudicate this on his being a high-profile figure. No more than Tiger Woods having to apologise to the golfing big wigs for his multiple misdemeanours when he should have told them to get stuffed as it was a private mater and nothing to do with them.

Now... I'm a Limerick man, and part time Hurling fan... but still think Kyle "Don't you know who I am" Hayes is a scrote.

But - GAA, John Kiely and JP's "pull" aside - there are utter scumbags doing this week in, week out, outside Limerick bars and clubs - and the Gardai are LITERALLY just watching on. As for the other c.u.next Tuesday's with 99 previous convictions - they're also walking away from similar charges.

This little 'cuntry' is fooked

No one from Limerick says 'scrote' ..only Northern Irish. You aren't from Limerick

Why did he skip a birthday? (Or maybe even 2). I didn't know you were allowed to do that.

(RTE says he was 21 at the time btw)

Wrong as usual.

But in fairness it's always been clear you know nothing about Limerick.

Our law system is a joke. What money and power can do for some high profile people. I hope he gets plenty of it on the field now and karma gets him. No time for Kyle or Kielys defence of him after this assault.

Why would he do that when he knew he was going to get away with it. He won't be paying that compensation either, that will be sorted out for him.

He will always go down as scxmbag who got away very lightly in the Irish law system. Can't defend what he did and say it was right.

Mod Edit

Warning issued.

As if posters here never made mistakes when they were younger. Look he had drink on him and got into a row and the consequences are that he now faces having a record for life. That's were it should end. Talk about kicking a man when he's down. As a saying in the bible goes "let those without sin cast the first stone".
