refs in the league

[Rovers fan]

seriously,what's the story with them? They're disgraceful. By all accounts sligo rovers were robbed by anthony "*****" buttimer today. Every week its a different ref making terrible mistake,that you wouldn't even see at underage games. And it goes both ways. Do they actually get paid? That would make even worse. I this league wants to become professional the standard of refereeing must improve. And I know a few refs were suspended recently but more must be done to change things for the better!

want some cheese with that whine?

You weren't even at the game?
How can you pass judgement on something you haven't seen?

no i'm actually serious like,it goes both ways,I'll be the first person to admit when the ref makes a bad decision that costs the other team. Against cork we should have had a penalty but the guy got sent off,then they had a goal wrongfully disallowed. You could say it evened out but its still not right. Against pats the ref gave them everyhthing,then a few minutes to go,ndo is clean through but the ref gave tham a free kick instead. If he had waited 1 extra second he could have played the advantage that he is supposed to and ndo probably would have scored. Then against bohs they had a goal dissallowed that shouldn;t have been. We had a CLEAR goal dissallowed,they go up the pitch and score the winning goal. We went from 3 points to no points all because of the ref. The list goes on and on,every game is the same!The referees are changing results,its not fair. We probably would have won that game tonight if it wasn't for buttimer. No we are out of the cup and miss out what could have been a cup run that would have provided us with much needed cash. Its a disgrace and so frustrating. Rant over!(for now)

Because I will accept 3 of my close friend's judgement and also that of alan cawley and keith o'dwyer,2 honest fellas,who were commentating on the game.

I still can't understand how you can pass judgement on something you didn't see yourself.

[hoops1]

It was never a booking all I can think of is the lad said something. For the first goal it was never a free in either the ref asked the linesman was it a free he said no and then the ref still gave it.

We lost that game because Pat Jennings was in goals rather than Richard Brush. No more, no less.

The ref at tonight's game was pretty card-happy, but other than that his performance was decent.

[SligoBrewer]

By all accounts sligo rovers were robbed by anthony "*****" buttimer today.


Name one incident where the referee made a poor decision that directly contributed to a goal. Go on.

Read hoops1's post! I was listening to it on the radio,therefore I have to believe them.If the commentator says sligo rovers score a goal,I believe him,if they say the ref makes a terrible decision,I believe them. Anyway my rant is about ref's in the league in general. We have all seen it throughout the season.

As have I. No need to bitch about it though.


We were Robbed. Buttimer cost us the game blah blah

No. Cook cost us the game by putting that excuse of a keeper in goals.
We would have had a far better chance with Brush sweeping everything up that came in rather than Jennings flapping and hesitating.

Ok i never said "we were robbed,buttimer cost us blah blah". Making up quotes now are we?! Anyway your going off topic completely by once again arguing about stupid crap(when you're wrong),the thread is about refs in this league in general.


Do the refs in this league get paid does anyone know? Or is it just expenses?

[DmanDmythDledge]

Both I think. Whatever it is anyway it's a decent amount.

[skitz3]

Yawn.

[SligoBrewer]

Yes you did. Here.

:eek: ****.

I imagine they do get paid.

[Rovers fan]

Yawn.

If you're tired,go to bed.If you're bored,don't bother reading the thread.

[Rovers fan]

Yes you did. Here.



:eek: ****.

I didn't say "buttimer cost us" or "blah blah blah". Get your facts right. Anyway your sidetrackin,you asked me to tell you one contribution the ref made to a goal,I did,now your trying to cause other arguement,cos you've been proven wrong. Don't bother,save both of us the hassle,you've turned this thread to sh1te!

[SligoBrewer]

Don't bother,save both of us the hassle,you've turned this thread to sh1te!

You turned it to crap in the first place by bitching about a refereeing performance an hour after your team goes out of the cup.

Reason things out ffs.

But what I'm trying to talk about is referees performances throughout the season,thats what most of my posts have been about. Mr buttimer tipped me over the edge,but I have already talked about OTHER games that the refs have made terrible decisions for AND against my team.

[Red&White Rover]

Most ref's in this league are f*cking brutal tbh. I can't remember the last time we've had a decent one either.


The only thing is, that they're often brutal for both sides!:o

I'm tired of more of your sh*te from a game you weren't even at. I'm tired of another thread about referees.

Yes accepted. But you didn't start a thread about a game you weren't even at.

[Rovers fan]

I'm tired of more of your sh*te from a game you weren't even at.

well I listened to it on the radio,what do you think they did in the old days?

[Rovers fan]

Yes accepted. But you didn't start a thread about a game you weren't even at.

So in order to start a thread,I have to be at a game. Thats a bit unfair! So when people used to listen to games on the radio 60 years ago,they weren't allowed to talk about the game cos they weren't at the game?! Foolish boy.

[Red&White Rover]

Yes accepted. But you didn't start a thread about a game you weren't even at.

In fairness, you weren't there either, so what on earth gives you such a high and valued opinion of tonights game?:rolleyes:

Well you seem to be happy enough to give out to someone who wasn't at the game for having a bad one of him. Therefore you must think that he did have a good game?

I was listening to it on the radio, it seemed to me the ref was having a bad game as regards to his decision making for us tonight. Am I not allowed that opinion?

It seemed is the key word there. Would you say that he was a disgrace and we were robbed?

OMG,how can you "bitch" about jennings performance when you weren't at the game? This is scandalous.Hypocrisy is a terrible thing!

Is there a difference? Your very apt at twisting words to suit yourself. Perhaps you should be a journalist?

[Rovers fan]

I won't pass judgement on something I didn't see for myself.





LIAR. We would have won if jennings wasn't flapping at everything,or so you say. You didn't see this yourself,you are a bullsh.....

[SligoBrewer]

Brush typically is a keeper who has performed well for Rovers.
Jennings typically is a keeper who has performed badly for Rovers.

Jennings did make many mistakes which are factual and not matters of opinion. These were reported by Keith.

Keith formed the opinion tha pat made mistakes,Keith formed the opinion that the ref made mistakes. Why can't you just admit that you are totally wrong. Your digging a hole!

You do something which you gave out to me earlier on for doing here.

I said

We would have had a better chance of winning with a better keeper in goals than Jennings.

And how many times did Keith also say :" How's that not a free" etc...:rolleyes:

Jennings intended to pass the ball straight to the Shamrock Rovers forwards in the last two minutes did he?:rolleyes:

nuff' said! its as simple as that brush is better than pat for us and plays well. Pat just isnt the kind of keeper that you would want this season he dosent look very confident in goals sometimes either.

Your sidetracking again,you have contradicted yourself so many times. I didn't CHANGE your quote,you changed mine. Again you are bullsh.. cos you know you are wrong.Now we all could have avoided this stupid arguement if you hadn't persisted on trying to prover yourself right when you were wrong.Now 90% of the posts in the thread are part of an arguement instead of talking about referees in the league. Well done brewer.

[Red&White Rover]

Jennings intended to pass the ball straight to the Shamrock Rovers forwards in the last two minutes did he?:rolleyes:

Your missing the point. You weren't there so you don't know the full extent of the incident. Much like your saying to rovers fan that because he wasn;t there, he can't know the full extent of the ref's performance.

You'll probably ignore this post blonging to me again however.:rolleyes:

[SligoBrewer]

Again you are bullsh.. cos you know you are wrong.

Where do I bull****?

[Red&White Rover]

Where do I bull****?

All Your posts in general I would say.:);)

[Rovers fan]

Where do I bull****?

I'll give one example(I'm not going to look through the whole thread): you tell me I can't pass judgement on the game cos i wasn't there,then you pass judgement on the game that you weren't at. I would define that as bullsh... By trying to dig your way out of a hole,you avoided the facts that showed you were wrong and proceded to post more bullsh... Btw "you got served",don't deny it!

The full extent of the incident?

Passing a ball straight to an attacker is an obvious factual mistake.
A poor refereeing decision is a matter of opinion.

Did you see him pass it to him? The fact you've even said pass means you've formed an opinion in your own head anyway.:rolleyes:

[Rovers fan]

Btw everybody(except brewer!),I started this thread to talk about poor refereeing in general. I know it might look stupid because we have just been knocked out of the cup,but i really do feel the refs are poor in the league and I actually wanted to talk about it until brewer started talking sh1te. Obviously this thread is doomed for the rubbish bin!

Yes, he did pass the ball to him.
