Cork football selector Sean Hayes does not agree with rule-abiding maoir foirne being banned from entering the field of play and said the discontinuation of the role will make it “impossible” for management to relay messages to players.

The proposal to terminate the maor foirne role was successfully passed at Congress earlier this year, with the new rule stipulating no team official can enter the field of play except for when a referee gives permission for a team medical officer or one authorised official to examine an injured player.
