There are some very good referees out there but once the subject of referees is brought up the bad ones are always going to get slated,in my last post it was just a warning that some of them are members on this forum so to be careful what you say about them.As the old saying goes who'd be a refQuote:

Saw that in the Examiner on Saturday, very disappointing.Quote:

Yeah, replay next week. Bring it on.
If the lad does half as well in the LOI as Willie B did for a long time he'll be happy and successful..
The standard of ref is as good as the players in the MSL. Don't expect Premiership or Champions League standard refs to turn up on a sunday morning. The players are average/good and the refs are the same.
Players and refs will make mistakes in every game. Stop whining... just get on with it and hope that any poor decisions even out over a season! Naming refs who make a mistake is poor form.. nobody slags off a player who makes an error. For example the guy who abused the ref in Blarney recently and caused the game to be abandoned was not named on this thread.
sorry ref,see you next saturday at 2.30pm unless otherwise stated:DQuote:

Avondale make the trip to Rockmount this Sun morning I think. Is anyone else having a prob getting onto the MSL site? Anytime I go to it now it closes all my browser pages.
Prob me, but would be interested if it's not me.
Quite slow but its opening ok for me CliffyQuote:

Cheers GW, I have the same prob, but not with that link you stuck up. Thanks.
Quote copied from Razor on the Intermediate thread just cos today was Dale's payback and payback in spades it was. My God Finbar won't be getting just a drink of Caulfield and O Connel tonight, he'll be getting the full blow job and anything else he wants after what went on this morning at Rockmount park.Quote:

I better stop now before I get abusive! Shocking.
But Mount only had to play the 2nd half against 10 men.Quote:

Yeah we did and restricted Dale to a big fat 0, that's 0 attempts on goal. Oh he sent off one of ours as well to even things up before going on to award the most disgustingly ridiculous cheating spotter I've even seen given in my life.Quote:

I decided to travel up to Rockmount park on Sun morning. It was quite a trip but it was worth it.
Between Avondale getting a sending off just before half time, the penalty decision at the end and Caulfield & Billy Cronin having a go at each other at half time it was all quite worth the trip.
Rockmount went one up about 25 minutes into the end game. Deasy scored from a Brendan O 'Connell mistake. Rockmount played football for the first half. Avondale then just got a man sent off, for what was a defo sending off but Finbarr Murphy was not going give the red only for Rockmount players to kind of bulling em into it. That is something I think is totally wrong but how Finbarr wasn't going to give the red was quite funny. Caulfield gave out to Horgan for getting sent off but JC was totally right. It was a bad challenge in the middle of the park, which wasn't needed
Then the half time whistle went & Caulfield made a quick burst to the referee where Cronin followed. They obviously clashed with Caulfield pushing past Billy who in turn shouldered em. It was worth the trip and the cold weather.
Second half started and Avondale created nothing but had more of the ball. They played quite a bit of long ball, infact that is all the played. Rockmount looked solid and had a man sent off, deservingly so. His first was a yellow which could have been a red only for Hally to stay on his feet. 10 minutes later he gave away another foul and then when he gave out the finbarr he picked up the ball and lashed into the other field. How that wasn't red then I don't know what is(I'll get on to Damo).Then came Damo, I'm laughing while I'm typing this cause I have to say it was was so bad a decision a person would have to laugh. I'm trying to think which was worse, his scream or his fall. I wouldn't call it a dive cause he couldn't even do that right. He landed on his knees standing upwards with his two hands in the air screaming but how Finbarr gave it was I suppose as Cliffy said disgraceful. It was shocking. Without doubt a yellow for diving. I was surprised how calm Rockmount were afterwards cause Caulfield would have went mad, AGAIN
Overall Rockmount were the better team and looked like they were in third gear. The dale looked quite poor.
Pick of the Match: Johnny C & Billy Cronin at half time. These two must not like each other.
Moan of the match: Has to be poor old Finbarr. What a disgraceful decision but Damo needs to have a look at himself too
As they say "that's football"!
Oh ya, missing for Avondale
Cotter
Spratt
O'Sullivan
Missing for Rockmount
Howey
Beechinor
Busteed.
Finbarr refereeeing Avondale vs Douglas hall in Monday's replay. That's 3 weeks in a row................

Half time entertainment provided at Rockmount park is a step ahead of the rest as well, never a dull moment when those two meet up! :D
I never said that, its just that your views are pretty much one sided, thats all.Quote:

Will ask Damo when I see him.

Always complaining about referees in Cork. How will Marys do at Wayside on Sunday?
Will they be complaining about ref if they dont win?
How come you never mentioned Micky "Rocky" Deasys attempt to punch the knees off the soon to be red carded Dale defender?Quote:

Interesting that footballer didn't see fit to mention "said event" either in his above post...
Good draw for Dale in the senior cup 2nd round. Away trip to Salthill for Rockmount.
FAI Ford Senior Challenge Cup - 2nd Round Draw
Corduff United FC V St. Mary’s AFC
Avondale United FC V Drogheda Town FC
Douglas Hall FC/ Castlebar Celtic FC V Belgrove FC
Crumlin United FC V Liffey Pearse FC
Salthill Devon FC V Rockmount AFC
Killester United FC V Bangor Celtic FC
Swilly Rovers FC V Wayside Celtic FC
St. James Gate V Carrick United FC
Everton AFC V Tullamore FC
Mervue United FC/Lissadel United V Fanad United/Carrigaline United
Fixtures to be played weekend ending, Sunday 20th April
This came from an impartial source, no justification was made on behalf of the Dale player, definite second yellow but surely that would be punishment enough without having a guy half his size trying to knock him out.Quote:

Match called off yesterday vs Everton, only shame was ref waited til everyone was there before pulling it. A quick trip out in the morning would have seen it cancelled and no need to make the trip.
Rockmount 3-0 Carrigaline
Beamish cup game today, easy win for the Mount team, Robbie Deasy and Pat Keane and Beech got them. Fermoy next up in this cup.
Apparently Douglas Hall 1-3 Everton is a result from the league today. They must be wrecked after Monday's exploits. Fair play to Everton.
avondale 5-1 cobh wanderers,terrible day at the office for the wanderers
I believe the Hall took another beating today at the hands of Blarney, MSL's plans to have an 8 point Hall gap at the end of Easter has blown up somewhat.
Come on Rockmount, fixture pile up or not we'll give it everything to win the three in a row.
Everton beat Avondale 2-1 yesterday up in Everton Park.
With one of the Everton goals a hoof from 50 yards the bounce deceived the Dale keeper, over him and into the net.
