Worst referee?

**galwayjames** · 05/09/2009, 11:15 PM

Anthony Buttimer. Had a nightmare in the cup final and I've never rated him since.

**GalwayRed** · 05/09/2009, 11:20 PM

I would have to say Kieran Callanans the worst from all the refs ive seen this season.

I actually think Alan Kelly is one of the best ref's we've had in the L.O.I. in years......................Awaiting abuse from all quarters!!!!

A year ago I wouldn't have agreed with that but right now he really is the best of a bad lot.

I didnt comment on his ability at all. I just stated he was the ref for our game. Its been mostly shels fans that have given out about him in the past.

its ok magicme we know you cant voice your opionion anymore. other mons fans did so ill use them for independent opinions

**Magicme** · 06/09/2009, 3:40 PM

Cheers. Think only one other mons fan commented and think he deleted his though so thats why just thought I should clarify.

Edit: Checked back and he hasnt deleted it so apologies Gael!

**Magicme** · 06/09/2009, 3:43 PM

Havent a clue what that comment was or why he deleted it. I dont know who the poster is either.

Mark Gough for me , we had him 5 games out 8 at the start of season, have not seen him since thank god, always seems to distribute cards for little or no reason, players can't even talk to him, alway,s controversial key decision's in games in which he consistantly get's wrong, just not up to it ..... IMO

Jeeeeeeeeeeez never felt as angry after a game as friday night at Dalyer. Would love to believe (as some Bohs do) that Buttimer is anti bohs but I just think he is incapable.
cannot understand how the clown is still reffing and his record this season (13 red cards) show he is out of control.

Presume he is let ref as the FAI will take any ref from outside Dublin. At a time when the standard of refs is nothing short of a disgrace Buttimer still stands out for incompetence.
it may well get me a ban from Dalyer but have to say our "old friend" Alan Kelly has been about the best I saw this season but as said elsewhere the bar is not high

**Ash** · 07/09/2009, 12:06 PM

Sean Grant can be fairly incompetent when he puts his mind to it!

**pineapple stu** · 07/09/2009, 12:17 PM

Who was the linesman at Waterford v Fungus who flagged for a throw when the ball was two yards from going out over the line?

Buttimer is anti football.

**L37Ultra** · 07/09/2009, 12:25 PM

Has to be Gramene Kelly. He seems to love penalties.

Can genuinely never remember him having a good (or even average). Too be fair his decisions are not always against Bohs (FAI Cup final !) but he is always making wrong decisions.
perhaps he thinks people pay in to see him ! Similar could be said in previous years of Alan Kelly but he does appear to be a little more constrained this season.
