On the refs, I believe the point is they are far, far too expensive and bringing a ref all the way down from the wee north (especially one as powder puff as McLoughlin) is ridiculous carry on from an association that can't give it's leagues representative players a few bob.
Your figures are wrong, it was 78cent per mile two seasons ago, its now 50cent per mile, not km.Quote:

It does look a penalty from the video there. The video isn't conclusive but I don't see how anyone would argue that it looks like anything else.

You'd think they'd appoint referees who don't have to travel so far and whose neutrality couldn't be questioned.
How may refs are there in the south east? Just wondering is all.Quote:

In fact it cost him petrol money to go to Limerick. Yes, he can submit expenses for match fee etc...but then it has to be paid...whenever...:ball:
So how much is it then?Quote:

It's already there in post #22Quote:

Sean Grant from Wexford and Jim McKell from Tipperary are the two I can think of. I don't think there are any refs from Waterford in the league at the moment.Quote:

It was just really bizarre that they would plump for a Monaghan-based ref for a Monaghan match in Waterford, but this is the League of Ireland we're talking about! Maybe he was cutting down on petrol costs by travelling home on the Monaghan team bus.Quote:

http://www.independent.ie/sport/othe...s-2806216.html .See someone is reading our informed comment . Referres Fees are way to high they are one of the single expenses for clubs.
Yep, lifted directly from the thread.
As an counterpoint, though, the club know the fees due at the start of the season and it can't be used as an excuse for underestimating their own day-to-day expenses.
Ran the game well i hear.Obviously he has been promoted to the prem leauge as i cant remember him having reffed a top level match before ??Quote:
