Dayne Ormonde (Waterford United) suspended with immediate effect until 1st October 2008 and fined €100 as a result of an incident in the match v Cobh Ramblers (14.10.07)."

The Waterford under 21 game vs Cobh Ramblers in cappaquin was abandoned after referee Eddie Foley was struck by the ball following an incident with Ormonde who he had cautioned.

If so a life ban would be ludicrously harsh (though for that animal with Benfica the other night on the other hand...) and even a year seems a bit much. Didn't Ray Wilkins throw a ball at the ref in the 86 World Cup? Don't think he had many books thrown in his general direction. A ban of a few months or something like 10-12 games sounds about right to me.

Yeah he kicked/threw the ball at him and cause him to fall over....however I don't think thats enough to abandon the game...

di Canio style was it????

1 year is extremely harsh. if he attacked the ref thats one thing but for throwing/kicking a ball at him ffs. red card and a 6 game ban would have been loads. ref sounds like a moran tbh abandoning a game because a player threw/kicked a ball at him!*



*granted i don't know the full story but i remember hearing at the time that the game shouldn't have been called off as it wasn't a terribly serious incident

A friend of mine headbutted a ref before, breaking his nose and cheek bone. He got a one year ban also, strange that both cases hold the same punishment ?

He's lucky he didn't get three months in the clink for GBH. That is what would have happened to him if he had done that in Scotland.
