Twittering classes split over GAA’s new rules

MAYO footballers and tweeters, captain Alan Dillon and Keith Higgins, have reacted differently to news the GAA are set to produce social media guidelines for inter-county players.

Following Wexford players’ criticism of referee Derek Fahy, Croke Park plans to release a code of conduct which they will expect the top hurlers and footballers to abide by.

Dillon and Higgins are among at least seven of James Horan’s panel who use Twitter. While Dillon appreciates some opinions have to be kept in check, Higgins has no issue with players expressing their views without censure.
