so whats new?
and what will this thread do to sort it out?
Lads, it has come to a stage where something has to be done. I've just arrived in from Terryland, where Mark Gough demonstrated how badly the referees are in Ireland. Is it any wonder people are turned off from going to LoI games.
A few examples of how bad it was:
# I don't mind a few offsides that are offside but when they are not its disgraceful.
# In the second half, down near the corner flag, Jason McGuinnes hooked the ball out over his own touchline from Vinny Faherty yet no corner
# I don't no how many times Pat Fenlon stood outside the manager perimeter and gave out to the officials. Yet the fourth official (who regularly seems to be doing that job at our games) said nothing. Each time Ian Foster complained he was told to get back in the dugout.
# Mark Gough gave out a completely stupid yellow card to Sean Kelly late on, for absolutely nothing. The ref completely ignored Kelly when he was trying to protest something in the first half
Feel free to add more because there is plenty more

I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
Looks like someone's not happy at not being undefeated anymore
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
He gave a few dodgy decisions against Bohs too.
Also, why was Ndo booked?
Nobody knows us, we don't care
it was timewasting according to extratime.ie, Paddyfield

In all fairness we were by no means robbed by the ref, which this thread seems to give the impression off
What off-side decisions exactly?... and were you running in line with the ball to call them?, i hate listening to this crap up Terryland every week, we don't seem to remember the offsides we got in our favour or the other decisions, but as soon as the slightest thing goes against us ''The Ref' a ******'' rings out around the stand
I saw Foster leave his box a few times and nothing was said, unless you were sitting in one of the dugouts then you don't know if Foster was mouthing off or been more of a nuisance then Fenlon?, so you can't give a fair reflection on that situation either!.
Kelly booked?, maybe it was because he was warned about mouthing off in the first half?, sick of hearing this crap about ref's all the time, seem to be the easiest target in the LOI
There's the right way, the wrong way.... and the Max Power way!! :-D
get over it, we were well beaten tonight and we had many worse reffing performances in terryland than tonights.
roddy collins you're a flanker you're a flanker!
I accept were awful and deserved to get beat. I'm just highlighting how bad the officials are in our game. Most people in the stand were getting really frustrated at the way Bohs were getting away with repeated time-wasting and what is mentioned above
Alright if it appears like sour grapes then close this thread please
Ndo got booked for blocking a free kick been taken quickly (not retreating the ten yards)
If this thread was to remain open then it needs to be covering all referee's in the league. Opening a thread this soon after the game and feeling fcuked over then it is sour grapes.
There were a few well-dodgy offsides at The Showgrounds tonight, too. Fair enough, a lot were called correctly but a few of them made you wonder if the linesman knew the laws of the game at all.
# I don't no how many times Pat Fenlon stood outside the manager perimeter and gave out to the officials. Yet the fourth official (who regularly seems to be doing that job at our games) said nothing. Each time Ian Foster complained he was told to get back in the dugout
This has gone on since Fenlon became a manager at every ground in the country, it will never change
Saying that the standard of refereeing is poor is akin to saying that we were beaten by a far superior team.....get over both and move on
If YOU are not part of the solution,
YOU ARE part of the problem
