That's not on at all, totally unacceptable. Stories of refs being locked in the boots of cars in Wicklow too.

If refs were locked in car boots in Wicklow then those people want to have a decent look at themselves, it isn't the refs fault that Wicklow are crap, it's the quality of players, if Wicklow club football or hurling isn't up to scratch then blame yourselves not refs

The whole refereeing system in GAA needs to be locked at. The speed of senior (even minor and u21) GAA has increased so much over the past 10 years and in fairness it physically probably cant get much quicker, but anyway - For senior inter country matches I personally think that some of the following should be looked at: The_DOC (Galway) - Posts: 705 - 15/08/2017 09:12:57 2033502 Link 0 |
Agreed. Nobody has a clue what a tackle is. How can you referee a sport without a clearly defined tackle? And now in the last generation you have feigning injury, diving and players have now perfected the arm grabbing in a tackle that is now coached at training sessions! I refereed for 4 years but quit because of 2 reasons; Even after 30 years of playing the game I was still guessing at lesst half the time and the abuse (Which included being followed home one night) was beyond belief. But I think at the moment Football is in crisis with referees. Take Michael Murphy's black card v Galway. Referees have been told to give the player the benefit of the doubt in a black card situation (I checked this with Croke Park) , how is that not a yellow if you're applying benefit of doubt?
