Refereeing inconsistency. The definition and interpretation of the tackle. Zero accountability on behalf of the referees. We simply have to make referees professionals. With the increased competition from other sports, this will come back to haunt us unless something is done. Ned_Stormcrow (Cavan) - Posts: 1071 - 19/04/2014 18:33:45 1577156 Link 0 |

Agree. That performance was an absolute disgrace. People are criticising the Cavan fans but Im not convinced that the ref was impartial. joncarter (Galway) - Posts: 2692 - 19/04/2014 18:45:03 1577178 Link 0 |
Ned has a point. Hurlingdub there were glaring mistakes throughout that game by the referee. Even Cavan got some favourable calls. I agree the refereeing today was shocking and I would like to know what action will be taken to prevent it happening again. Former_Poster (Meath) - Posts: 394 - 19/04/2014 18:45:11 1577179 Link 0 |
They need to go pro alright. I'm not defending Cavan (or even talking about that match really) but it is a crisis at this stage. Inconsistency is the most shocking aspect of GAA for the past few years in my opinion. RebelCork (Cork) - Posts: 789 - 19/04/2014 19:01:50 1577200 Link 0 |
I've been saying this for years. Not the rules which are the problem but more a lack of consistency among the referees. hound (Meath) - Posts: 234 - 19/04/2014 19:14:17 1577211 Link 0 |

When the black card was introduced I said that because it was open to personal refereeing interpretation, human behaviour and the personal opinion of officials that we would see massive inconsistencies and accusations of bias being thrown about...what do we have now? I warned that officials could possibly be influenced by big crowds and big names and we seen it today in the Cavan/Dublin game as we have seen in ALL of Dublin's games this season. Officials appear to be reluctant and afraid to show black cards to Dublin players or give decisions against them. There is a large cloud of dissaffection looming and it could blow up in the GAA's face who appear to be quite content with filling Croke Park with Dubs and pulling in SKY money and to hell with the rest.

Mchugh was a black card how he gave a yellow I'll never know but the ivory incident was a free in no doubt about it, it's a ridiculous rule we got our shot off that should have been the advantage but the same happened in the first game a Roscommon player was foul he took his shot which went wide so the ref gave a free in, stupid rule but it is a rule. But there in no place in Gaa for supporters to be attacking the referee that was a disgrace and them Cavan supporters should be banned from Gaa for life. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 19/04/2014 19:40:18 1577238 Link 0 |

Sorry lads only in the door I was at the game and looked a black card but I'll watch it again If you's say he was pulled down then I won't argue with you's. The Cavan supporters at the end were a disgrace no place for that in Gaa clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 19/04/2014 20:07:17 1577276 Link 0 |
Completely agree. crossfieldball (Galway) - Posts: 650 - 19/04/2014 20:11:58 1577281 Link 0 |
The standard of refereeing is a contradiction in terms. Rules 5.22 to 5.26 contain all the grey areas that are an issue. Basically we are looking at a non contact style game if the rules of football were to be enforced 100% honestly. Otherwise, you are using discretion of referee to 'allow the game to flow'. There is no other way of dressing this up or down. I am afraid that referees are in an unenviable situation in this circumstance. If they are letter of the law, then the game would be constantly interrupted by correct enforcement of the rules. If the referee tries to allow certain things to go, that he deems borderline, then he is playing favourites with the rules, and doomed to failure in terms of fair and impartial judgement. We will see this time and time again this summer, and as the game gets faster and faster, the instances of close calls and grey areas will become more and more grey.

Disgraceful referreeing today. Cavan were robbed plain and simple. Dublin have been getting this type of favourable treatment for years but it seems to be happening with increasing frequency now. For a Dublin man to day to say the Cavan supporters were a disgrace at the end of the game is a bit rich when you consider the number of gurriers that follow the Dublin senior football team around, sorry around Croke Park that is.
