well that's not true. . What is the punishment for abusing match officials? What punishment did Philly McMahon receive for abusing a match official? cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5016 - 29/08/2016 14:16:06 1907599 Link 1 |

Philly could've gotten black as could maybe 2 Kerry players. The two shoulders were called wrong but were difficult calls. Kerry got plenty going for them from Gough and yet some eejits abuse him coming off the field. The mind really boggles at things like this.

The mind boggles indeed. There were a number of bad calls on both sides. I didn't see these soft frees for Dublin in the last 15. Which frees were soft? A kerry player touched the ball on the ground when Mannion fumbled, clearly shown on TSG. Brogan was taken out when clear through. This should have been a black card but wasn't. Not sure how that would favour Dublin. Crowley's tackle was a foul no doubt but it happened very quickly with the ball to be won. O'Mahony's on McMahon was equally as bad except the ball was long gone. It could have been a red. Dublin had other decisions go against them also, hop ball when they were in possession because the ref wanted to halt for a Kerry player on the ground for example. There were poor calls on both sides. In a game of this intensity it's to be expected. Joxer (Dublin) - Posts: 4700 - 29/08/2016 15:04:20 1907645 Link 1 |

Lads it was a goal. It was a great call by the umpire, unsighted or not. It's like a close offside in soccer where they look at it from five different angles and say grudgingly 'the linesman just about got that right'. He either got it right or he didn't and if he did it's ten out of ten not eight out of ten. It made Dublin play that little bit harder but obviously didn't affect the outcome of the game. Now deep breaths and repeat after me 'it was a goal but Dublin won'."]I thought it was a goal too on first viewing but unlike you I cannot be definite in my assertion. Any photo or replay shown of the goal so far is inconclusive. Hawkeye should be used for these incidents."]The umpire thought it was a goal, from six feet away, the referee thought it was a goal, otherwise he would have overruled the umpire as he did later on from much further away and the camera angle suggests it was a goal. So if it walks like a duck etc. I'd be inclined to go with the goal. If you choose to believe it isn't a goal then rock on my friend, we'll just agree to differ.

AOM made no attempt to play that ball alright Completely blocked the run and deliberately frontal shouldered P Mc because he knew he was under pressure because Philly had the legs on him, he completely played the man when the ball was gone.

Getting back to the topic it is never acceptable to abuse a ref. It reflects poorly on the association if they dont come out strongly against such behaviour. The person(s) concerned should be banned for life from attending GAA matches, that would send out a clear message. It is however notable and depressingly predictable that the indo decided to highlight this negative incident after such a thrilling exhibition of football from both teams. mod (Mayo) - Posts: 859 - 29/08/2016 15:19:10 1907659 Link 0 |

It is not that is stupid - it is irrelevant. Referees are decent, honest people. It does not matter where they are from.

Are you honestly saying that in theory you would be happy for Cork to play all future games with a referee from the county they are playing against? I highly doubt that. A referee is human. If anyone moved to a different part of the country, they would form a bond with the area. Myself, I lived in Waterford for a while. I go out of my way to find out how they get on in hurling and watch their games on tv. Did i do this before? No. While the referee may believe they have no problem reffing fairly, they will subconsciously make 50/50 decisions that benefit the place they live and work in. The referee was awful yesterday in the closing stages of the game. He did not intend to have a poor game, but he did. There is never an excuse to hurl objects at someone. I'm very embarrassed and ashamed as a Kerryman of those who did. Hopefully those responsible for it are caught and weeded out of the sport altogether.

Absolutely no place for that in any sport.These clowns should be banned if identifable. Every game will have contentious decisions and particularly for the loosers. Dubh_linn (Dublin) - Posts: 2312 - 29/08/2016 17:00:14 1907729 Link 0 |

You would hope that something would come of it but I'd be surprised if I'm honest if he got more than a word in his ear.

Regardless of the refs performance, you can never justify the behaviour of some Kerry fans at the end of the game yesterday. Not just the reaction to the ref. TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 4445 - 29/08/2016 19:25:29 1907784 Link 1 |

Ref should never be subject to physical abuse. I find it interesting though that the ref in question is from Meath, living in Dublin and coaches at Kevin Mc's club in Dublin. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11236 - 29/08/2016 21:39:45 1907838 Link 1 |

I really love kids too... but... I couldn't possibly eat a whole one. Football? It's a game. If you want a religious experience, go to a church. If you want to wrap yourself in a national flag and bawl a national anthem, get a British passport and develop a taste for the Olympics.

Yes is the answer to your question. I have reffed loads of games myself. I have reffed games involving my own club (challenge games and underage games) and never went out to screw the opposition over. Referees are humans. You are right. They make mistakes- of course they do. I like to trust that they are honest mistakes and the referee does not intentionally go out of his way to do a team out of it. Therefore, logically speaking it is an irrelevance where he is from. If he is a dishonest person, this is more relevant than where he is from also. A different issue. In terms of David Gough's performance yesterday, he was actually excellent. He got one or two calls wrong - would you have gotten every call right? Are you as fit as him? are you able to keep up with the play at that speed and make those decisions in a split second without the view of a TV camera? If you are, then no doubt you'll be reffing intercounty games soon as well - maybe they'll even put you forward for the final (Dublin v Mayo). Hopefully, after all your training etc nobody will hurl objects at you or accuse you of bias. bennybunny (Cork) - Posts: 3917 - 29/08/2016 22:46:12 1907867 Link 2 |
