I just want to say on the recent online abuse to players was shocking , in my experience in receiving it couple of years ago sent me over the edge and really took me a long time to over come it and I thought I would never ref football again . It affected my mental health. And people that troll this abuse must understand that they do not understand that what is going on in a persons personal life and need to think before they tweet or put on in social media .

Fairplay Dell. It's an Irish thing to refuse to admit your problem but you have tackled it head on. You are a credit to yourself. I'm glad to hear you are on the mend now. gotmilk (Fermanagh) - Posts: 4971 - 30/06/2015 10:50:19 1745215 Link 0 |
These days it seems so easy to post abuse online without seeing the hurt it causes.I hope it did not come from real Westmeath supporters as I for one detest this. As it was years ago and should remain the same - what goes on on a pitch stays on he pitch.The ref did his job and that's the end of it.

Good man Dell, nice to see you back and sorry to hear about the abuse you suffered, it's disgraceful carry on perpetrated by complete cowards. Happy to hear that this isn't beating you though. Htaem (Meath) - Posts: 8657 - 30/06/2015 12:54:21 1745359 Link 0 |
It may not be right but it certainly goes with the territory. Refs cant see everything that goes on in a match and should get much more help from their officials. Refs and players have been getting abuse since long before the arrival of cybebulluing. I'm not a ref, I get enough abuse at home! But I do admire their bravery/foolishness in taking on the job. I guess the best advice before taking up or returning to reffing is to be aware that you're definitely going to be abused and if you can't stand the heat...........
