    Buttimer simply for the shirts fiasco in St Pats last year what did we do for the previous 80 years we have being going there without him.

    I thought the ref in the showgrounds on sat was very good by LOI standards, small guy with black hair let the game flow and wasn't centre of attention.

    Buttimer, Stokes, Hancock and McKeown are the worst. We get Terence Moyne as assistant mostly and he is shocking. There was an incident last Friday night when he didnt know who to give the throw into so he just stuck his flag up in he air

    They're all incompetent but Anthony Buttimer is the worst of a bad lot. The linesmen are a joke altogether but I don't know any of their names.

    When you have to consider Hancock, Stokes, Buttimer and McKeown (among others) for this coveted award its a really hard call.

    On current form my vote goes to Buttimer. In the recent Bohs-Dundalk game, that he failed to recognise either of Paul Keegans x-rated challenges (two-footed challenge on Michael Daly and his earlier knee high lunge on Chris Turner) as even worthy of a free kick is staggering!

    McKeown cause he favours all Dublin clubs and Buttimer cause he cant officiate, take for instance our game against Bohs, Paul keegans 2 dangerous lunges on Turner and Daly, not even a free for either!

    Paul Tuite.

    Rovers v Derry in Santry.

    Two balls on the pitch. One ball hit the other, took a deflection and went in. Goal given................

    i asked an official guy at a town match about what they are doing to improve refs. he went on to say that they are doing this program to improve refs, started years ago.
    i asked him why no improvement?
    He had no answer.

    The refs are bad but the linemen are so much worse. Mark Douglas (the poncy looking git who we always seem to have the pleasure of having infront of us at the Carlisle) is a particularly pathetic waste of oxygen
