Just curious, are they required to sign up to any sort of code of conduct?
Do the GPA police that sort of thing at all?
Just wondering, as technically anything they say is in a private capacity and they are not 'employed' per se by their county, even though you could argue they are in receipt of taxpayer funding.
If you were any use you'd be playing.

Social media is a cess-pit.
Time to pull the plug on the whole thing before it's too late.

What do you reckon this place is?

We'll have to shut it down too then and all the sites just like it.

You can't blame all the nasty stuff solely on the likes of Twitter, Facebook etc etc

You chatting about the Laois tweet.

Stupid from the County Board to say what they did. Nothing to do with them

Probably under pressure from their sponsor?

You'd imagine the head of marketing for Kingspan will definitely be involved in any discussion to whether Jackson returns or not.

I think players should be trained on how to use social media.

Apples & oranges.
Chat forums & message boards were around long before the likes of Twitter & Facebook.
This place is moderated and bar the odd head the ball, people behave themselves.

Social media has convinced the loud, pig-ignorant pub talkers of the world that they are 'legends'.
It matters little that they are a minority, as they are a highly vocal minority.
Winding up 'feminists' and 'snowflakes' is their bread & butter.
