Boynesideblue .... Hmmmm knowing a bit about Meath club football that would be Slane if im not mistaken.. Goughs clubmate i presume. That or your a Dub and you'd deffo back him so. Plus he didnt over rule himself his umpire told him he was wrong and he had no choice. His first instinct was peno when it was no way a peno. westkerry (Kerry) - Posts: 1250 - 05/08/2019 19:09:26 2221271 Link 4 |
The options for a ref are pathetically small because all the young refs coming through the ranks are packing it in before reaching their full potential because of abuse at EVERY game from underage up......result ..tiny pool of refs to choose from at highest level ..............rugby style ref respect should be standard from the youngest age ...

"I'd assume you've pored over the video, before making the 'correct call' on it, or did you manage to spot McBrearty's manoeuvre in real time?" I'd assume you haven't read my post at the top of this page, before making a stupid comment, or did you read it and go ahead anyway? jonjon (Mayo) - Posts: 99 - 05/08/2019 22:19:56 2221356 Link 0 |
That's Kerry logic right there. He didn't over rule himself ??????? Well he actually did as he could have ignored the umpires advice, the final decision was his. And the bottom line is the right decision was reached in the end which is what we all want to see anyway. BoynesideBlue (Meath) - Posts: 130 - 06/08/2019 11:52:37 2221522 Link 1 |
I thought Gough did about as well as could be expected in those conditions and a match with such high stakes and players getting physical with eachother off the ball constantly. He missed some big ones, got some right and some wrong. It wasn't the winning or losing of the game anyway and at the end of the day that's all you can really ask of a ref.

It was stupid tackle by Higgins, he knew Mcbrearty had him bet and tried to hold/wrap him up, ended up on McBreartys back and they fell to the ground..the black card rule is for a pull to the ground which i dont think Higgins did but it should be a black card. tommy132 (Mayo) - Posts: 602 - 06/08/2019 12:18:17 2221545 Link 2 |

It doesn't really matter whether or not I'm a clubmate, what matters is I'm right.

That's a reasonable point. But I suppose his thinking was the offence might have merited a red card but the game didn't need one. The best referees manage the game and that's what he done. It wasn't such a blatant red car that it HAD to be given. He let the players have a fair bit of leeway but never lost control, it's a high risk game to play but it worked out okay.

I think you guys are missing my point which is that a referee living and working in Dublin should not be reffing a big Dublin game. AsI said, imagine the hue and cry if a referee living and working in Tralee was appointed to ref a big Dublin/Kerry game!! There would be outrage!! It is inconceivable that it would happen. Yet, Mayo and Kerry (others too) have had to put up with this over the years. It's ridiculous. Aibrean (Kerry) - Posts: 263 - 07/08/2019 21:01:28 2222431 Link 1 |
It should definitely not happen, but I think it will. It is up to the opposing team to question the fairness of such an appointment...provided Dublin are in the final of course

As a clubmate your hardly objective now are ye. Everyone backs their own particularly a small club like your own having a ref at county level. Needless to say its outrageous that a ref living , working and coaching in Dublin is officiating Dublin games it wouldnt be tolerated if the roles were reversed. westkerry (Kerry) - Posts: 1250 - 08/08/2019 09:06:40 2222561 Link 3 |
It's just another glaring example of the all-powerful domineering undemocratic entity that Dublin GAA has become and how - for some unfathomable reason - other counties are in awe of them. For example, the failure of other counties to vote Dublin out of Croke Park for the 'neutral' S8 game. And, wait for this. A few years ago a Kerry referee was appointed to referee a Dublin game. Dublin objected to the Kerry referee on the basis that the Kerry referee and the manager of Dublin's opponents came originally from the same club. You can guess what happened!!

What Kerry ref is this?

Your obsession with Kerry is pathetic. Funny how you dont comment on your own county where ever that is. It was a hypothetical comment as you well know. westkerry (Kerry) - Posts: 1250 - 08/08/2019 11:21:08 2222623 Link 2 |
From Hoganstand.com July 04, 2007 Surprise has been expressed at the appointment of Kerry referee Aidan Mangan to take charge of Sunday week's Leinster SFC final between Dublin and Laois. Mangan hails from the Austin Stacks club in Tralee, the same club that Laois manager Liam Kearns played for, and this has prompted some Dublin supporters to question his appointment. One of the most experienced referees in the game at the minute, Mangan previously took charge of Dublin's drawn All-Ireland quarter-final with Tyrone two years ago, and was also the 'man in the middle' when Laois - then managed by Mick O'Dwyer - beat the Metropolitans in the 2003 Leinster semi-final.

Be the hokey ye learn something new every day. Never heard of him. Thanks. The optics are all wrong for anything of this nature to have happen. Possibly down to a lack of experienced refs?
