Well lads what do ye think? Very capable referee I think. Should do a very good job and it's very doubtful there will be any dodgy decisions made in the final.

Yeah-should be ok-lives far enough away from both counties not to be unduly influenced into giving handy frees or maknig teams have to work hard to win one

Well we have a bit rivalry with Meath going back to the end of the 80's. He should be fine but some of the decisions made by Refs this year have been shocking so we will wait and see.

Down have never lost an All Ireland Final.
Cork have never won an All Ireland Final when David Coldrick has reffed it.
Let's hope tradition is the winner here ;-)

Good luck David

A good referee amd I hope all goes well for him.I've seen him do a few games and he's one of the best in the business.Good umpires too. There's some very good up and coming referees but people seem to focus on the bad performances rather than the good ones. I mean, there has been over 60 games in the championship this year and the majority of them have passed off without any glitches, yet sadly it's the admittedly high profile mistakes that continuallly get highlighted.
That said, it's been the best championship I think I've ever seen. Some very entertaining games. Maybe mistakes by the referees are part of the GAA's plan to make it exciting for us punters!!
