    He has been dealt with by the courts. It is not the GAAs job to administer justice.

    He is a great athleate. Good role model for kids too, shows anybody can make a mistake and recover from it.

    Good role model for kids? I don’t think so. I’d absolutely not send my kids to any event he’s involved in. Unfortunately the courts aren’t adequately dealing with him either as it’s obvious he’s getting special treatment there also because of his connections.

    I'd say the likes of Pat Ryan and Davy Fitz with their antics on field do the game greater harm. It legitimizes mothers and fathers around the country abusing refs at kids games. Not a great influence. The respect rugby players have for the ref is by far a better influence.

    Fair point but you have to start somewhere. If the organisation isn’t imposing any sanction on an ambassador of the game for their off pitch transgressions, Davy certainly won’t be worrying and it won’t even register with John or Mary abusing the ref at a local gave. An organisation needs to show that it won’t stand further certain things but I’m not sure what that is fir the GAA and I wouldn’t be losing sleep if I was abushvevat a local level at present.

    Oh please. Hayes learnt nothing from his 'mistakes'. He attacked people. He drove at well over the speed limit putting others at risk. The courts don't have the courage to put him in prison instead he gets a slap on th wrist.

    He's a sad excuse for a human. An appalling example to kids following gaa and an example that no matter what you so, if you can hurl you're safe from correction.

    A fairly grim fcukin household if Kyle Hayes ends up a role model for kids.

    Hayes ground game is strong anyway, he sees a head on the ground and he kicks it.

    The idea of such people getting cheered on by the crowd is sickening.

    A great hurler and i suppose its only natural Limerick will back one of their own.

    All I'll say is would you still back him if it was your son on the receiving end that night.
