Buttimer simply for the shirts fiasco in St Pats last year what did we do for the previous 80 years we have being going there without him.
I thought the ref in the showgrounds on sat was very good by LOI standards, small guy with black hair let the game flow and wasn't centre of attention.
Buttimer, Stokes, Hancock and McKeown are the worst. We get Terence Moyne as assistant mostly and he is shocking. There was an incident last Friday night when he didnt know who to give the throw into so he just stuck his flag up in he air:confused:
Neil Doyle;)Quote:

Any of the GUFC fans know who the bald, overweight fella that's usually assistant on the Old Stand side is?
Splutter! Praise for Neil Doyle?!?! :eek:Quote:

On current form my vote goes to Buttimer. In the recent Bohs-Dundalk game, that he failed to recognise either of Paul Keegans x-rated challenges (two-footed challenge on Michael Daly and his earlier knee high lunge on Chris Turner) as even worthy of a free kick is staggering!
Add in the cup final to his shambolic displaysQuote:

Neil Callanan Pathetic.
McKeown cause he favours all Dublin clubs and Buttimer cause he cant officiate, take for instance our game against Bohs, Paul keegans 2 dangerous lunges on Turner and Daly, not even a free for either!
I read he made another tackle above the knee on a Derry and only got a yellow...:rolleyes:Quote:

Two balls on the pitch. One ball hit the other, took a deflection and went in. Goal given................
Simply answer = No LOI referee is up to a high enough standard required
i asked an official guy at a town match about what they are doing to improve refs. he went on to say that they are doing this program to improve refs, started years ago.Quote:

big time. crap linesman promoted to ref :rolleyes: (last year he flagged Leo the lion twice) last friday he dicided that the game was going to be a draw so when the keeper for harps dropped the ball into his net in the last five mins, he just blew his whistle and gave a free out for........????? knowone knows! he leads a vary bad and shocking selection of officails in the graveyard that is the first divisionQuote:
