It needed to be highlighted because currently it is not acceptable for certain referees to be officiating premier league games when they are not of the proper standard. How else should we voice our opinions? This is a forum to discuss such matters I was led to believe. Standards have dropped so low that it needs to be addressed or players and management will get disillusioned. This may sound OTT but this has been the feedback regarding refereeing standards for a long time now and its only getting steadily worse.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lads ye can moan all ye want but nobody is coming up with any ideas of how to to get better refs?
The LDMC can only work with what they have...Where are these super refs gonna come from??are any former players takin up refin?No becuse its a lot easier bitch on the sideline than it is to make the call on the pitch...if these guys didnt do it nobody else will and then thered be no ball to play on a sunday morning..

just a quick questions lads,,,, if a player was sent off last sunday in his locla league and has a provincial fixture this comming sunday , can he play this sunday??? my reading of it would be yes he can as any suspension would have too be served locally as he was sent off in a local competition...genuine question and no smart answers about if not affecting the boro...helping a mate out...

yes he can play if the sending was in his local league he will only miss next LOCAL comp IE local cup or league.

there are loads of posts on the last few pages about refereeing standards etc.you have to agree with some of the points being made from club representatives and also from the ldmc.it is true that without refs there would be no ball on a sunday.there is one question i have tho.how come every time pike play fairview in a league game on a sunday morning that they also get linesmen?im sure they pay the linesmen but as far as im concerned its a disgrace.i dont see linesmen for any other premier fixture or any other game pike and fairview play which isnt against each other.i dont think its right that other matches/teams/fixtures are potentially suffering having poorer referrees in place or having no ref at all just to inflate the ego of pike and fairview for there games.by all accounts linesmen should be allowed for munster junior/fai home ties in the afternoon when there is alot at stake in latter rounds of national trophies.having them in normal league games is a total joke and is very unfair on every other team playing in the premier division on the same morning and teams in lower divisions whose games are potentially called off.the LDMC need to look at it.
also a suggestion for the LDMC would be to set aside a pool of 7-8 refs to just do premier games above any other.that would cover the top division every sunday.there are at least 4 refs who i always found to be very good in games

firstly you can have linesman in any home fixture as long as your willing to pay and the refs are available and secondly lower division teams pay the exact same fees as premier teams so why should ye get preferential treatment

i know you can have linesmen in any home fixture mogus but since the pool of refs isnt exactly huge and so many people complain about them my point was that i dont think linesmen should be allowed for any league game regardless of what team is playing or what division there in.its taking away 2 potential referees from 2 other fixtures in the town that could be played.
regarding your second comment maybe i misquoted.i didnt mean that no other division should get there games played ahead of premier games.after all its only junior soccer and everybody is entitled to a game on a sunday no matter what division your in.but the truth is there are some refs out there who are not fit enough for premier games where the pace is alot quicker.that seems to be whats causing most of the arguments not the referees ability.

wernt linesmen suppose to be introduced for Premier and d1a game from this season onwards. if it happens it will break a lot of clubs, €100+ per game, clubs cant afford that

"its taking away 2 potential referees from 2 other fixtures in the town that could be played"
Totally agree with this. There isn't enough decent refs in town to be doing this. The Regional v Boro game was officated by a ref who would have been refereeing in the lower leagues that morning if it weren't for this and hence both teams suffered as the ref was completely out of his depth

carew park 1 corbally 0
fully deserved 3pts by carew not many chances in the game carew had a great chance in a even first half which hit the bar. 2nd half carew up the tempo and domanaited the game again without creating many chances corbally defended very well carew should of a a pen mid way through the half IMO. winning goal came from a fantastic ball from steven grant through to dermot o shea who finished very well into the bottom corner with 5mins remaining.

wouldnt exactly agree with you there thomas.we were gutted not to get a point this morning.a very level game with little chances on target by both teams.i do admit carew were on top in the last 20mins but the fact that albert slattery and mark keane played so well today shows that ye didnt have it all yer own way.we had plenty of possession in the final 3rd but werent clinical enough today.regarding the penalty claim ive seen them given but also have seen them not given.the ref had a good view of it so you have to give him the benefit of the doubt.carew have a great bunch of young players coming through who were a real handful today.defo think they will push up the league now with there games in hand.all in all a good game today and a good battle but id be more of the opinion that carew shaded it thomas more so than fully deserved it.

Straight answer..No, it's a huge step up. Just ask Salthill Devons and Mervue,both very strong junior sides who went senior and they finished at the bottom of the league last season with 34 points between them! And they would have strengthened their sides even when going senior.

Haven't seen our pitch yet(coonagh) but every field or green area on this side of town is under water. Disgraceful.
how come when you ring ldmc and tell them the pitch is waterlogged they still make carew travel and say its up to the ref.will the ref see somthing we dont see.maybe its got to do with half fees for the refs.

Past northsides pitch earlier today, the near goal mouth has a big puddle in it. Both coonagh and hydes pitches are unplayable but we have been informed the ref will decide tomorrow if this game goes ahead.

We all who is to blame, the Fixture Secretary. It's up to the clubs to vote him out of his position at the next AGM, but like previous incumbents, the clubs weren't willing to stand up and be counted.

lads, this is going since the big freeze,we had to make two payouts to refs already and they were doing there best to hold in the laughter when collecting the money.we have had nearly 30 hours of non stop rain and our man says the refs will decide.
There is more to this than meets the eye as he can`t be that thick all the time.
The referees claim that it is up to the fix. sec. but this pushes the boat out a bit much today.

Janesboro 2-3 Star Rvs,
Great game on a great surface.
Star went 1-0 up on roughly 40mins through a great strike from Kevin Barry from outside the area against his former club, to lead 1nil at the break.
Boro equalized on 55mins through Shane Clarke when his shot squeezed past debutant keeper for Star Mike Fitz,
Star then went ahead again on 70mins through a goal from Paul Lonergan from inside the area, but Boro were awarded a peno on 75mins, and again Clarke finished well.
With the scorline level at 2-2 and time running out, Star got the winner through Alan O'Carroll on 85mins with a neat finish from insde the 6yard box.
Boro then had a great chance to level in the dying minutes but once again Star's new keeper Mike Fitz stood tall to make a treble save.
Star's team:
M Fitz, G Roche, P Collins, A Morton, P Lyons, B O'Doherty, P Lonergan, Dale McNamara, K Barry, T Butler, D Hannon.
Res: R Flynn (for P Lonergan), A O'Carroll (for T Butler), D McNamara, G Tully, G Walters, G Busoli, K O'Doherty, M McDonnell, D Clancy.

I think your all getting too soft. As for damages to the pitch nothing that a fork and a few days break would not sort out.
As for your summer soccer be prepared to lose a large number of teams if you revert to to GAA clashing not to mention anyone who has kids on Summer holidays.

fairview 3-1 corbally.corbally took the lead after 25mins through ken neylon after a mix up in fairview defence.fairview equalised on 30mins through jonathan grant and it ended up level at half time.both teams came out of the blocks fast in second half but fairview got a break on 55mins when darren harrington finished well from outside the box from a breaking ball.corbally pushed on chasing an equaliser and were denied a stonewall penalty after 70mins which could have swung things.fairview scored a third through a james hayes deflected shot on 75mins which sealed the points.a good battle of a game and a fairly level game but in fairness to fairview they got 4 shots on target and scored 3 goals and unfortunately for us we had plenty of chances but couldnt get the second goal needed.afew dodgy decisions by ref today from which both sides had very dubious penalty decisions ordered against them.corbally have alot to take from this game but need to get afew more points on the board.on a final note the fairgreen was in excellent condition today considering the rain that fell over the weekend.overall it was good to see most games going ahead.maybe it isnt the worse thing to let the refs make the call on a sunday morning.
