Dean Healy has a few choice words for the Wicklow County Board after quitting the Garden County.

Speaking to The Wicklow People, the St Pat's clubman confirmed that he will not be available to line out for his county next year and stated that he is "disgusted with the County Board":

"As it stands, I won't be committing to playing with the county next year," he says. "As players, we bear the brunt of the criticism for how the county plays but people out there don't understand what goes on behind the scenes.

"No one needs to tell me I've played bad, I'm my own worst enemy when it comes to that but I'm disgusted with the County Board and the musical chairs that goes on down there.

"You don't see them all year and when we beat Longford they're all in the dressing-room.

"And then there's the problems during the year. Lads not getting their mileage paid on time, finishing training and there would be no hot water in Aughrim, no proper chartered physio or doctor at training.

"You'd have lads trying to chase up their expenses for things like physio. It's not on.

"I don't mind being the scapegoat. I don't mind complaining about what goes on with the county panel off the field of play." Tweet
