Yeah you're right. If this is the case it is a bit harsh. I hav'nt heard anything else and nobody has come up with an alternative reason for the points deduction. Irishyop, you said you we're going to look into it....any word??Quote:

I know at Town in the past we had problems with several bookings in games but I can't recall us ever being threatened with losing points. It would be nice to hear what the powers that be have to say on the matter!
All i heard from one of the players was that they had 6 bookings in 2 consecutive matches.
They are appealing it and to be honest I think that is a joke of a decision
any predictions on the games this weekend in Div 2A and B?
I would predict wins, loses and draws. ;)
Well the season is heading towards a final day showdown for Celtic C and K&K. Winner takes all after Celtic C won in Hollister. Due to Ballyglass B not been able to field a team regardless of the K&K result against Hollister it will be a showdown on last day of season.
I expect that Div 2 A is not near finalised as the Clew Bay and Castlebar Town drew to put the promotion play offs and Super league domination to bed for Town for one more season ;) Were you playing MT? Tubestation whats your slant on the match?
Clew Bay didnt play well at all and got 2 late goals to level the game. But the ref was a complete disgrace, it was like an non contact sport, every tackle by Clew Bay players resulted in a free for Castlebar whether Clew Bay won the ball or not. 2 of the Castlebar goals were also clearly offside. the ref wasnt the guy that was down to ref the game on the midweek papers and i think the replacement has connections with Castlebar Town which would explain his disgraceful performance
any idea of the name of the ref?
ya town gave the ref a brown envelope before the game thats why we got 3 clear penos turned down. best of luck in the playoffQuote:

Why do you think the last match does not count for anything? I presume you have seen the table? You do understand that a playoff happens?
This has been going on all season. See this post in relation to C. Celtic. Usual stuff whenever a Cbar team is at home.Quote:

What exactly are we lookin for in that thread? Clew Bay were at home so your point is what?
Ask FahyForever about the sending off on Sunday and how that was a Castlebar Celtic home decision, not! Even the Fahy lads were at odds as to why our lad was sent off.
Sorry I meant when a Castlebar ref was officiating. I am sure its not a deliberate thing but it does happen that the Cbar refs protect their own teams. Also refs being on first name terms with players does not help the other teams feelings of injustice.
Sorry, yes I see your point alright, hard to know on that though, yes I would agree that in SOME 50/50 decisions they may give the odd one to their hometown but then remember there are 3 teams in Castlebar, some lean towards their own more than others.
Actually come to think of it there is 1 ref who we hate to see coming even though he is life long Celtic!!
The name thing though, I see your point, all I will say there is that the longer you play the more chance is that you will knwo the refs by name and vice versa, I think you are more likely to respect their decisions the more you know them so to speak.
Even though again there are a few who this definately does not apply to!! :)
surely refs shouldnt be in charge of games that there home town are in? other teams will always feel an injustice when this happens whether the ref is bias or not
Not always true. From past experience some Cbar refs seem to go out of their way to prove they're not being biased towards you!! A ref should be impartial no matter where he or the team is from. In general the one's that can ref properly are.Quote:

At the very least they should not be on first name terms with the players.
Your only jealous that they don't know your name. Wear a name tag "Ny name is ..." :) for the next games. Or have a meet and greet session.
You are so funny.Quote:

Would have to agree with you re: K & K Utd going into the playoff's. Very good quality players and they are a 1st team. It's easy see that ye are the second team of a Super League team, but I think it's more important for K & K to get out of the division given that they are a first team. If they go up, I think that both Ballina & Knock could end up doing as well as Moyvilla and Urlaur, and will defo be in the shake up for promotion next season. Both teams have given us good hidings this year, where we've only lost by the single goal in the 3 games v C'Bar. Having played against ye (Ballina) last Sunday, I think you'll agree that not being on first name terms with the ref can also be a bad thing! He was poor for both teams. In phases you could be within 10 yards of a man and get a free given against you and on other occasions a lad could get halved and no decision given at all. At 2-1 down with 15 mins or so left, we had a few chances that we didn't take but I think that at times ye were only at 60%.
Granted. Some would see calling the ref by his first name a sign of disrespect or familiarity towards him. At times there are many names we would like to call referees but I suppose ref will have to do!!Quote:

great point!!!but lets get things right,every club should provide a couple of refs to the mayo league. it would solve a lot of problems.Quote:

No idea, I asked the question there last week, Mayo League cannot confirm it!
Usually it is the week after the final league match

liam mcentee knows the names of players within the first few minutes of a game and i think that the likes of him should be commended on making the effort to do so.it makes him a lot more approachable and he doesn't talk down to you (despite the fact that he's pretty tall!!:D) during the course of a game.think hes possibly the best ref in the league although others may disagree.i think that if aref is able to explain why hes made a particular decision to you instead of giving you abuse for asking a simple question then all credit to them and they're a better ref for it.Quote:

Good luck with the rest of your season. :ball:
cheers mate.all the best to yourselves also for whats left of it :ball:Quote:

I agree with you that McEntee is probably the best ref in the league however knowing and USING the names of your own townies whilst not using the names of the opposition is wrong. It gives the impression of bias - whether it exists or not. He should not use the personal names of the players irrespective of how well he knows them. This is the only problem I have with Liam.Quote:
