A middle-aged Northern Irish man has been admitted to Beaumont Hospital after complaining of stomach pains. X-rays revealed that the man had swallowed a small silver whistle, which was successfully extricated from his stomach. He is now scheduled to undergo a further operation to remove his head from his a$$.
Seriously though, what was he playing at? We can't even lay claim to the best worst officials on the island anymore (despite Rhona's valiant efforts.) :mad:
Less of it .... City fans were saying it all along and we were told we were making up conspiracy theories ...... less of it now from you all !! :p
But the question, Mr. Face, is who bribed him this time?? RTÉ. in a desperate underhand bid to decimate Setanta's ratings? :eek:
No you didn't say rubbish officals you said they had it in for Cork, that's the difference.Quote:

I would have been fine if it was A Face, but jaysus the amount of bribery scandels and everyone has it in for Cork, Setanta themselves were accused of trying to get Cork knocked out of the tournament!
The ref was sh*te, as all of them have been so far, because the standard of reffing in this Island is a joke, that's all there is to it.
"The ref is sh!te, he has it in for us. Ollie paid him. He won't give us penos because he hates travelling here. Shels paid him. He has it in for us. Everyone has it in for us."
;):d
Courtney is as good a referee as Jumbo is a tightrope walker.
The man has a history of fcuking up,every fan up in our League will tell you that.
God himself only knows how he got to ref the game.
:D :D :DQuote:

By far the worst ref I've ever witnessed.
I didn't think it was possible, but he gave a worse performance than in the $hels/City game.
Fair play to both teams, it must have been head-wrecking putting up with his sh*te.
Well done Linfield, I don't think ANY eL side would have beaten them last night, they had a good game plan, and used it brilliantly.
Jeffries must be the shrewdest and wiliest manager on the island.
And for all the slagging we give them, $hels fans were excellent last night, Linfield's were superb, and even from the television, you could sense the fantastic atmosphere at the game.
ah justice :)
My god, Patsh praising Shels fans, or even Shels anything, now I've seen everything :eek:Quote:

The forum is all about opinions, and he's quite entitled to his Copa Mundial, ok?Quote:

I can never condone dissent against the ref by the players but it must have been extreemly frustrating for both sets of players having to put up with such a bad level of refing.
as an asside - I felt the 2 assistant refs did a decent job generally on the night
Did eL people in general think that the IL refs let 'hard' tackles go more than those from the eL? Usually Liam Kearney gets about 10-15 fouls per game but wasnt really given too much by them + GO'C got hacked to peices by Portadown in the X without any yellows against him (except for the red that should have been a yellow, but that just goes back to showing how cr@p the ref was).
