Let's talk about the Kyle Hayes criminal case

[@44birdie44]

Unfortunate that Hayes, a role model for young hurlers across the country, has stooped to this low act. Do you think his employer will terminate his contract prison sentence or no prison sentence? The man works in HR!! As another commenter has said, a gurrier in his position would face the full force of the law and so should Hayes. No special treatment.

[@johnavery206]

I wouldn't agree with the word unfortunate here, that's like not getting the bonus ball in the lotto. However for someone to plead not guilty for such a violent and serious assault and allegedly lie under oath that is not unfortunate. Fantastic talented hurler no doubt, but the law should be the law and any leniency shown because of his hurling ability should not influence the correct and appropriate sentencing.

@@johnphelan8300 No idea how I found this In England! Seems to me that the law ALLOWS kicking on the ground, and stomping on people's heads ( not heads in this case, I think ), because the generally low penalties clearly do not deter. In England, people seem to get longer sentences for typing a few words that some woke person deems a hate crime. Bizarre.

Kiely didn’t defend Hayes. He said in court he found the footage very disappointing . Kiely was called to give character witness for Hayes. This is everyone’s right in Irish Law .

Kyle Haynes is 16 st. 6’5” tall. Super super fit. Trains 30hrs a week, and as we’ve all seen him play can, shoulder a man , without any great effort ,the same size as himself 10’ off the pitch. My point , he could have just as easily killed Cillian mc Carty with the first or any off his blows. How many times have we seen it. One punch wonders????? Gerry you say the judge has a difficult job ? Being too lenient he’ll get flack or being too tough he’ll get flack. That situation will only arise if the judge pays too much attention to who KH is rather than what the crime is. He needs to apply the law as he would if it were Anyone else. On another note , the respect and admiration that my friends and I had for John Kiely’s has all but diminished. Why you may ask , After he admitted seeing the video footage of KH violent attack, he still decided to be a character witness ! we can only say shame on him and ask ,if it were your son John ,that he violently attach , what would you have done????? We can only ask and wonder ,did the GAA put pressure on John kiely to testify? Just as your assuming the judge is being put under the same pressure. Well, we’ll just have to wait and see if Cillian Mc Carty gets justice? Keep up the great content ,your channel is very informative.

I've noticed that many young sports men like Hayes often make very immature adults: they are child/men. Many of them are also very messed up mentally, but the physicality of sport seems to quench their angst to a certain degree. Managers and trainers just want wins, often at the cost to young men's mental health. Hayes's extraordinarily unprovoked violence is indicative of some serious issues he has which hopefully will be addressed. We should cast a very wary eye over the youngsters we are entrusting to sports bodies.

@@terrygorry on the evidence Terry, I just wondered was there more to this, or was Kyle drunken and disorderly. I'm interested to know what led up to the incident. I personally believe Kyle will be going to prison. I don't buy him not being socialised. That's a ridiculous notion. The problem with the eye witness account is that they only saw the assault and not what led up.to it so it's not a full account. The standard of proof in criminal trial cannot be weighed too much on the prosecution case where there is an alternative argument that may not be in the evidence because the garda case is bias on prosecution and not looking at the full facts. And there may be witnesses that could provide a defence but were not available to the defendant. Kyle believes he is not guilty so there must be a reasonable explanation for that.

Interesting juxtaposition. Last week you said playing sport was the ruination of young men. Now you have a judge agreeing with me. That grown men chasing balloons, is a method of giving people low socialisation skills. Big difference between modern amateur sport and when I played it. Two matches a week, training two night. No need for the GYM. We walked everywhere. Food was smaller portions. So we were as fit as fleas. Afterwards a few pints and try and chat up a few girls. Nowadays everyone is chasing a shiny eggcup.

To compensate his victim financially, also. Hopefully the shame he has brought on himself he may learn a lesson and will never darken a court or garda station again.

So because we weren't actually there, we can't comment. That is utterly ridiculous

There is an option for the judge here that would be an ideal solution. Let Hayes off from a jail sentence, but order him to play the 2024 All-Ireland Hurling Championship - for Kilkenny! I reckon he'd take a jail sentence instead.

[@johnstapleton615]

Your flippant remarks here shows disrespect for the main person in this case, the victim, the chap that had his head and eye socket hammered to the point of near blindness. That's the person who matters most here. As for Hayes playing for Kilkenny, we in Kilkenny don't tolerate thugs playing on our team thank you, but no thank you

[@charliebridges3584]

@@johnstapleton615 Oh yes, that's right. Your great star, D.J. Carey: such an exemplary citizen. And your fantastic corner back, Jackie Tyrrell. In his autobiography, he admitted in his autobiography to stealing a taxi car while drunk, then playing his GAA-star card in the Garda station to get off on charges. So maybe you should get off you high and mighty Kilkenny horse.

No, he would probably take the money. Most just '😅follow the money' nowadays.

Disgrace if he's not jailed. Wouldn't surprise me from this dump of a county.

The only thing he is guilty off is winning five All Ireland hurling medals. These assaults are happening all the time you man is no angel and I’ll tell you this much if Limerick lose an all Ireland over that gombeen his whole family will probably have to move out of Limerick that’s the way it cuts down there.

yeah we all know the way it cuts down there... lawless... gaa do what they like

[@PB111627]

@@theresanolan1157 What he did pales into insignificance compared to the Dublin riots the attacks on innocent children the government’s treacherous placement of countless men who have torn up there passports and ID and are being pumped into every village and tow land of this country. If I blame Hayes for anything it’s for not going Mano to Mano on McCarthy and I would never approve of kicking someone on the ground but hey there were all testosterone fuelled young lads. If the judge wants to be kind to McCarthy he will find in his heart and in his brain forgiveness!

You idiot

There is only one gombeen here and it's not the victim of this brutal assault.

@@gerryhanly3194 Are we led to believe that you calling someone a gombeen implies that you’re not one? I’m not convinced.
