hacker, can you clarify the quote " they will still dictate things to suit themselves".Quote:

You would want to look at the bigger picture. If Referees are choosing which games that they will do, why is one Referee from Ennis travelling to East Clare one sunday, then West Clare the following Sunday and not picking his games for Lee's Road?, which I am sure he would do if he was able as he is in walking distance from the complex.Quote:

I didn,t hear much dissention from the Olympic or Newtown players when they had an early kick off the day of the County Final, or did the Ref on the day of that game demand that the game be played early?, I doubt it.
M. Lydon decides which Referee goes where, and like clubs, if referees are not available for a particular time or day I presume that there are channels for them to go through.
If your available for Sunday, do you fancy reffing the Newtown game and letting D. McCarthy up to Corofin?
my quote meant that wit so few refs..they can more or less pick there own games. if im wrong i oppologies to all refs..but why else are ennis refs doing ennis games shannon ref doing shannon games cratloe ref doing cratloe games..1 ref had 3 matches in a row changed to 4pm on a sunday as he was playing golf..us refs that did that course havent been contacted yet to ref games we were all told we passed no problem..i'm available???[/QUOTE]
Who are these Shannon and Cratloe phantom refs?????I must admit I dont know of any of the 18 that were contacted yet??Does anyone???

Hacker, no offence taken. It is just that referee's have a thankless job to do at the best of times. Negetive remarks and opinions though entitled should be of a balanced nature and if critism is due to one or two referee's don't paint them all with the same brush keep your critism to the referee(s) involved.Quote:

Was he not the referee that gave Corofin a penalty in the dying minutes of a Cup Semi Final against Newtown?Quote:

Newtown came back from the dead yesterday with a stirring fight back from 2 nil down to take the tie on Penos. Killarney started much sharper and had the ball in the net after 2 mins. The second followed on 20mins with a cracking half volley from all of 40yards into the roof of the net. Newtown were stunned and responded with a few half chances but Killarney were well worth their lead at half time. Killarney again started the second half much better and it didn't look good for Newtown. With 25 mins left it looked all over for Newtown when left back Tom o Hare was sent to the line for a second yellow. But this seemed to energise the home team and they threw caution to wind with a bold 3-3-3 formation, the game turned on its head with Newtown winning every header,tackle and loose ball. Newtown created a glut of chances with Chippy Dunning comming close on 2 occasions, then sub Ryan
Kelly reduced the deficit stoking the ball home from the edge of the box from Dave Devanneys lay off and the home crowd errupted when Chippy Dunning bagged the equaliser with 10mins left on the clock. The 10 men continued to dominate and could have won it in normal time, extra time was an open affair with newtown edgeing it. The dreaded Penalty shootout began with Jason Stretton, Ryan Kelly,Cheeky MacDonald scoring before goalkeeper Skinny proved himself the hero by saving two and scoring the winning penalty to great scenes on celebration. Newtown at home to Tralee Dynamos in the 4th round:ball:
watched match and good report papa-jQuote:

great comeback as well break for extra time did not help newtown as i think they would have scored again as they had upper hand .. great penalty by skinny... what was the story with ref.. seems he is putting a report in about supporters on line singing & shouting !!!
whats that all about ??? i know they were terrible singers but if you cant sing or shout in support of your local team ... :confused: :confused:
Whats the problem with supporters singing:confused:Quote:

Hacker, what game are you on about?Quote:

There is no stipulation for a team or referee to wait 20 minutes, this is usually at the discretion of the ref, though a team arriving late should be reported to the League by the ref.
If a team has a lot of travelling to do to get to the pitch a few minutes leeway is acceptable, there is nothing worse than the away team, on time, togged out and the home team players arriving in dribs and drabs with 5 minutes to go to kick off. :mad:
If im correct i think 15 mins is allowed for away team after that game is a walk over. We "Newtown" were to play a Kerry team few years back and some of their players arrived on time but rest were 20 mins late and we were awarded the game,it was on in Doora.Quote:

There is no rule that says a referee has to wait 15 minutes to kick off a game.Quote:

A team travelling a long distance.
A pitch not marked properly, (give club time to rectify).
Referee arriving late. (It happens). :eek:
Most referees will give grace in certain circumstances, it all depends on the respective club and if they have a habit of being late.(Local Football).
If the ref has to travel for another game in the afternoon and by delaying the 1st game will make him late for the 2nd game.
The bottom line of the discussion is that if a game is down for 2.30 there is no reason what so ever that both teams can not make the effort to be on the pitch 15 mins prior to kick off.
Ya something like that.Playing with Newtown is more or less a 10 man team as we have been down to 10 men alot this yearQuote:

Cousin, hear Bunratty have a number of players back. How do ye fancy yere chances of getting promoted.
Few players have returned alright....but 4 points from 9 is not the ideal start to the lg. I would expect them to be challenging for top 3 at the finish though.Quote:

I hear Burren are very strong this year. No easy game in the division though. Each of the 10 teams can beat one another in any given game.Quote:
