Replying To gaelsboy: "There's not many lads that would take abuse for 60 minutes for 50 euro, if you try stamp your authority e.g. bring ball forward, card players/ mgmt for abuse you are just seen as the reason the team loses.
Proper fines and sanctions like automatic bans for repeat offenders and loss of home games for rest of season and clubs will soon learn to deal with repeat offenders themselves" Proper fines will force the clubs to deal with the problem. Bans are pointless. Hit the clubs in the pocket and it won't take long for the clubs to rein in the usual suspects. It's hard enough to raise money without having to give it away.

The word is the County Seniors are out for the first time this weekend. The talk is that most players who have been asked in have accepted the call.
This leaves us in a really strong position to get promoted back up to Division Three - Anything else would be a failure in reality.
Disappointing to hear the nature of Donal Caseys injury and that he will be out for a few months - Hopefully he can make it back for the middle of the league.
Losing Jack Foley to New York is a huge loss - What he has done in the last two years when you consider his age is phenomenal.
Ryan O'Rourke, Paul Keaney and Killian Gaffey amongst others rejoining the panel is huge.
Hopefully Jack Gilheany and Darragh Rooney are back involved.
It's a pity the likes of Pearce Dolan, David Bruen and Mark Plunkett could not be enticed home as they would really have strengthened the panel.
I can't see /hope theres not the same problems between the Senior and U20 management this year - We have a mix of 5 between both panels (Paul Honeyman, Jack Kelly, Eanna McNamara, Colm McLoughlin and Scott Kerr).
Excited to see how the likes of Colm McLoughlin, Jamie Rynn, Oisin McLoughlin and Jack Kelly go.
Some have said Ryan Donoghue is considering Leitrim once again but I'd see it as unlikely, Same would have to be said for Conal Jones.
Jack Heslin one would imagine will be brought in and helped to regain fitness after how good he looked in the relegation play off for Gort.
I personally wouldn't like to be the one selecting what forwards start on this team.
Am I missing anyone?

It probably is the only solution however does it excuse the fact that there's only 1 referee for the entire of North Leitrim? I get that there's a smaller number of clubs but that's shocking. I doubt any ref is coming over from other counties for 50eur so it maybe also time to look at increasing the fee by a small amount. There will be no games at all if clubs don't step up. The ladies clubs should also be stepping up to provide a few refs also, as far as I'm aware there's no ladies ref in the county.

A vicious circle that stems from the failure to deal with repeat offenders. It'd be ironic to expect certain clubs to produce refs given their culture and their attitude towards them. No young person in those clubs is going to consider becoming a ref. They've learnt from a very age that you're expected to argue with and abuse the ref.

It would suit the Co Board better to try and attract and incentivise individuals to take up refereeing instead of demonizing clubs through the media.
It's also incorrect to state that there's only one referee for the entirety of North Leitrim, they can't even get that right.
We're bordered by Shannon Gaels, St Ronan's, St Michael's, Kilglass Gaels and Kilmore in Roscommon, St Michaels and Calry in Sligo, Arva, Shannon Gaels Templeport in Cavan, Clonguish, Dromard and Fr Manning Gaels in Longford and Bundoran in Donegal, I'm sure any of those clubs with active refs could hop over the border and do a game if we were badly stuck.

You forgot the Fermanagh clubs, Devenish and possibly Erne Gaels and Belcoo. Exactly what's the problem???
As long as every other county that border is has their house in order and have an adequate or indeed surplus supply of referees then we don't have a problem.
For Gods sake!!!!

the fact about north leitrim having only one active ref is actually correct im pretty certain, that would be vincent mcmorrow. Foley has hung up the whistle and Eugene McHale is a Sligo clubman coming over the border. Its damning that some of the more populated and successful clubs clubs have no active referee, Mohill, Ballinamore, Leitrim Gaels, etc.
there was a similar push for new referees last year and two were recruited if Im not mistaken, one of whom reffed the junior final this year. The age profile of current referees is the big issue in my opinion, some lads have given years to it and father time is just catching up with them.
