Gary Walsh has lashed out at the Laois football management after being dropped from the county panel.

The Ballylinan forward scored the first point in the O'Moore men's Leinster SFC quarter-final defeat to Dublin last weekend before being substituted at half-time.

It appears that his reaction to being replaced has now cost him his place on the panel, which he maintains is unfair, saying on Twitter: "My committment to the team was questioned cos I let a few f**ks out of me after being taken off against (the Dubs), which I was wrong to do but at the time I was just frustrated.

Walsh added that he had missed only one of 150 training sessions this season and criticised the decision to inform him of his exclusion by phone, saying he was "gutted".
