Lads just a thought. Should a ref be allowed to ref a game if the county that he comes from is playing the winners of that game he is refing in. ie. Dublin v Meath and the winners play Wexford should the ref be allowed from Wexford I've seen this happening a few times over the years. Or a ref be allowed ref a game that either of the 2 teams playing had beaten his county just before that game being played?

Any thoughts?

Nothing to do with a Joe Sheridan disallowed goal in Dr. Cullen Park, is it?

yes even in club football i think refs should be picked from another county i live in wicklow and i go to plenty of games and there is always a mess with refs like if you have a st pats ref in a rathnew game thats hardly fair since them 2 teams almost hate each other so take it out of it altogether and bring refs from outside county and stops all that messing around

No,i agree fully with delboy he is right....the county in which the ref comes from should of had no contact with neither of the 2 clubs playin in the match...i Have seen it happenin myself and it isnt fair wen you are on the wrong side of it

Is this thread a joke?Have some respect for Referees and dont be worryin your head where they come from.No ref goes out to "do" any team regardless of who the winners face.

The solution is obvious. All refs should come from Carlow and Louth.
