I know there's a lot of threads about referee's but...
Who is the worst current LOI referee and what decision has made you wonder what they were thinking?
Saturday night we had that Sean Grant dope.
With the ball still in play by the corner flag, Kenny Browne kicked it out for a throw,he did give it a good kick. so the ref booked him for time wasting
I’m not pedantic...I’m merely overly concerned with minute details.

Hmm.... well...
In our recent game V Galway in Terryland, Kelly never let a 50/50 tackle pass and blew a for a foul almost every time.
McKeown is just incompetent, he booked Mauro last year in one of our games at the Showgies, when it was Ventre who made the foul.
Ive neverforgiven Stokes for our FAI Cup exit V Galway in 03' (maybe 04'). He was that bad that night even an aul fella ran from the shed towards him in the middle of the game!
Winters is just an idiot who loves his yellow card. Never lets advantage play and is slow to keep up with the game.
Paul Deering was atrocious for us in the First Division.
2 words. Alan Kelly.
Worst ref I've ever seen.
Anthony Buttimer, has to be the worst LOI referee, can't ever seem to get anything right
What a disgrace he is. Wouldn't call him a ref tbh, more like a joke.
Cumann Peile Dún Dealgan - Champions 2015 (too many accolades to be typing)
Termonbarry Athletic TID!
Couldn't have put it better myself. Complete joke he is.
The whole lot of them, plus their assistants
Don't get me started on those lads.
I don't know how so many of the officials we have now got a licence, the condition must have been to collect tokens on the back of a corn flakes box, ''Collect 100 tokens to become a LOI referee''

Anthony Buttimer. Why do I say he is the worst referee? Simply because he is simply the worst referee.

Hey guys, can you all post specific incidents please? If it works, and all goes well, i will reveal all!
Mwah hahahahah! ahem!

I'm guessing your going to e-mail the FAI???
Buttimer and Kelly and to a lesser extent Hancock suffer from the Collina-effect. They like to think they are the star of the show. Buttimer's self importance is particularly grating. Take of the various example of him delaying matches due to perceived colour clashes because both goalkeepers are wearing black y-fronts.
i still cant get over how he booked our player for kicking the ball out for a throw!

Tom Connolly for his Mick Devine/Dessie Baker no penalty incident last season. Incredible.
The Model Club
Tell all the Bohs you know
that we've gone and won two-in-a-row
and it's not gonna be three
and it's not gonna be four
it's more likely to be 5-1.
Buttimer is doing his best to outclass the all time great that was Jim O'Neill, I'd say that man was the cause of more family break ups that anything else during his time as referee!
McKeown had a beauty one year when we were playing Bohs at Utd Park and Oman(I think it was) fouled one of our strikers about 1 1/2 metres outside the box as they were running towards goal and gave a penalty, no questions!
Then there was the infamous goal that never was in Dalymount when Fabio's effort was about a yard away from the line and the linesman flagged for a goal,haha!

no sir!

Damien Hancock for me. The man is atrociously bad. Honourable mention for Alan Kelly. Hancock for a game down in Bray a couple of years ago when Rovers where going well and he sent off two of our players including our keeper and Kelly for....well he's Alan Kelly.
