I can never remember one ref from another but thought Hanc0ck was very good for fridays semi final. He booked players for any off the ball incidents which meant nothing worse started...
Peter Hutton-Premier Player of the Season
Roy O'Donovan-Young Player of the Season
Kupono Low-First Player of the Season
Premier - Pizza/Farren
Young player - Gamble/Killian Brennan
Premier : Georgie O Callaghan...
Young player : Mark Farren..
Nominations should be dominated by both Cities as no one else done anything.
Forwards tend to get these so farren might be favourite.
Prem - Liam Kearney (havent seen him too much but like him as a player)
First -Raf Cretaro
Missed a penalty tonight though:(Quote:

Senior player of the year, I'd probably go for Hutton. Referees don't deserve awards. The best referee is one you don't notice and if you don't notice him how can you reward him? One that certainly shouldn't win it though is Frisk, because he thinks the Eircom League revolves around him!
Premier Division player: Mark Farren
Young Player: Darren Quigley
1st Division Player: Don't know, haven't seen any of it.
Player of the Year: Jason Byrne
Young Player of the Year: Richie Baker
Not my choice but the way it will go as normal.
Waits for $hel$ responce... :D
J.P."Joxer"Kelly has to be my choice for YPOTY
There could be a few surprises here, Whilst Hutton, Farren and O'Callaghan immediately spring to mind there are a few dark horses. Gareth Farrelly, Barry Murphy, Paddy McCourt, Kevin McHugh , Dan Murray and Danny Muphy may well get a good few votes.
Killian Brennan, Barry Murphy,Darren Quigley, Roy O'Donovan, Joe Gamble and Barry Molloy all in there for the young player.
As for the first division John O'Hara ,Kieran O'Reilly and Kupuno Low
Player of the Year: Joe Gamble
Young Player of the Year: Peter Hutton
LMFAO :DQuote:

At the risk of repeating previous posts, we have some very good officials in this country. The fact that supporters see the same faces regularly throughout the season is unfortunate...familiarity breaths contempt!!
In a week where professional officials in england came in for some scathing criticism let's reflect on the fact that an Eircom League referee officiated at 2 World Cup Qualifiers in the past month, a situation unheard of regarding officials from 'bigger' countries, and an Eircom League referee took charge of a UEFA Cup group match last week, the first time in many years that an irish referee has officiated at a relatively advanced stage of european club football.
We live in a country where we are only too quick to criticise our own. Credit where its due where warranted.
Try an keep the smart alec replies to a minimum;)
