Things have been known to move in mysterious ways in Ballinspittle!!

he is one of the most ignorant man I have ever met....always was and will be a clown.....he likes to be in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. He has been involved in some major decisions down the years involving teams going for the league title....i saw him rob villa utd a few years back against kinsale and he did the same to millstreet against springfield....they are just two daylight robberies that I saw and im sure there are plenty more....
Wow!
Some totally OTT posts about the referee in the park v Kinsale game last weekend!
I didn't agree with all his decisions but that happens every week.
I didn't think he had a bad game and the pen was missed so it didn't influence the result of the game.
As for the comment about the villa v Kinsale game from 2006...
That's nearly as bad as England giving out about Maradonas handball in 1986.
Get over it!
Villa lost that league by 7pts btw so why bring it up 6 years later??
Also I don't think anonymous posters should be slating refs on this site.
I hope I'm still anonymous :)
What I mean is that we are all anonymous here.
Maybe we can make an educated guess who some posters are but in the majority of cases we won't know exactly who is posting. In some cases a number of guys post under the one name.
We shouldn't name refs and then slate them.
It's not fair.
Worst case - mention decisions he got wrong and do not name him.
This is my opinion
Fair enough on the naming & shaming, agreed there on that one. It's just when you have 15/16 players who get up on a sunday morning at 8/830am after staying away from pubs the night before to go and play a game - something thats voluntary because you love playing - and then you get someone who destroys a game, who is getting paid to do the job, its really really frustrating. Im not having a pop off all refs, there are some really good ones.... But you get what i'm saying. I know the refs job can be impossible but they're the ones getting the moolah not ourselves. But fair enough about naming & shaming..
I hear ya JRyno.
Mistakes that cost us games are frustrating.
Be it refs, centre halves, keepers or coaches.
Mistakes are made everywhere.
No ref is perfect - we see this in the English premiership all the time. But I really think that they are trying to do their best. That is all we can ask for I think.
That won't stop me having a go next Saturday ;)
i doubt many will fall for that hubba bubba
I never said anything about kinsale I was referring to the two games that I was a spectator and the ref in question gave probably the worst displays of referring I have ever seen..and you are in no position to be telling people that if they are anonymous they should not be slating refs...im not involved with any club and I am entitled to give my opinion as a neutral spectator as I see it without taking sides
In my opinion anonymous posters (like you and me) should not come on here and slate refs and name them.
That is my opinion - it is not a rule!!!
If you wish to do differently then go ahead.
The worst that can happen is for an anonymous poster to disagree with you.
No big deal ;)
best of luck to Coachford at weekend
I agree that its not right to be slating refs on here, they have a hard enough time every weekend and remember without them we wouldn't have any games at all to go to.
I do think that this forum is for the likes of commenting on refs etc, but let the reader do his own digging if he wants to find out the ref was. And thats from someone who has named and shamed in error before.
On the subject of refs, I thought the shortage had gone but it seems to be back again. Does anyone have any thoeries to why? I would have thought the €84 tax free every weekend would be a temptation for a lot in these hard times. Im lucky enough to have a job, but if I didnt i would seriously consider it to pay the bills.
Lads, this forum is going downhill fast. All people want to do is slate this person and that person, we are all involved in football to get away from moaning at home! ;-) Let's get back to commenting on the games!!!
Well said Dixie. I havent been on in a while. Its not that i wont report on the games we lose. Pearse at home tomorrow. Tough game, they beat us twice already and i think they are a seriously good outfit. Well organised and very motivated. Will need to be at our best to get something but we know how important three points are for us at this stage. Best of luck to everyone this weekend and look forward to reading match reports/football talk afterwards.
Whats the situation with promotion and relegation in the 2nd and 3rd division? Is it 3 up 3 down or 2 up and down from each league? Any info would be handy
Promotion and relegation procedure for 2011/12 will be as follows:
Premier: 2 Relegated.
Premier A: Two automatically promoted. Two automatically relegated.
Third from bottom will play the winners of a playoff game between the two second place teams in the League 1 and League 1A.
If the play-off team wins the game against the third bottom team from Premier A then they will be promoted and third from bottom in Premier A will be relegated to first division.
If the third bottom team wins then they will stay in Premier A.
First Division: One automatically promoted. Two relegated from each section.
Two second placed teams will play off for the right to play the third bottom team in Premier A in a play off for an extra promotion/relegation position.
Second Division: Two automatically promoted/Two automatically relegated from each section.
Third Division: One from each section automatically promoted.
Three second placed teams in each section will take part in a round robin league to decide on the fourth team to be promoted to second division.
Any results of today's games in yet ??
Castleview won 3-0 pearse drew 4-4 n park were 3-1 up on killumney last I heard
Premier League: Kinsale 2 Leeside 2; Park Utd 3 Killumney Utd 2;
Premier A League: Kilreen Celtic 4 Pearse Celtic 4; Kanturk 2 Leeds 3, Castleview 3
I so agree with your comment the posts I have been reading everyone seems to be slating everyone else I know I'm new on here but I really thought I was going to be joining in on chats about games and football and how it was being played but all I am reading is a load of moaning!!!!!!!!!!!!!! bit disappointed really
Castleview 3 v 0 Blackstone. Beaten by the best side we have faced this season. We are disapointed in the concession of early goals and the manner of them but fairplay to Castleview they punished the errors. The rest of the game had Castleview with most of the ball, but our keeper didnt really have a save of note. Our back 5, especially, worked really hard. We had a few chances ourselves but they are a class act.
Tramore 2 coachford 1
Went to watch the Glen play This morning and What a performance they gave. They could've got 4 or 5 more with all the chances They created. And the thing is Cathedral Celtic are no bad side. As the game wore on you could see the Glens fitness telling. Am looking forward to watching them against Killumney in the AOH quarter final next sunday. Should be some game.
How did wilton and knockavilla go ?
I went to see 3 premier a games at weekend..castle view looked very strong against blackstone, grattan will feel a bit hard done by against carrigtohill conceding a very harsh penalty with only a few minutes to go and the ref blowing up the game when grattan had put a great cross in the box...very strange call to be honest as the keeper actually dropped the ball and grattan scored but the whistle was gone and Springfield beat bohs yesterday in a one sided game at fairfield....I was also told of a team who could be in trouble for racist remarks about a black player a few weeks back....apparently the ref abanded the game when he heard the comments from the line....did anyone hear of anything regarding this situation....if it's true the team in question should be punished severely
I agree if there is truth to that then the sideline should be severly punished we don't want that sort of thing becoming part of the game its suppose to be a sport a Saturday or Sunday game of ball we don't need that sort of thing coming from any sideline it's up to each club to make sure their sideline do not partake in this sort of behaviour it is totally unacceptable and should not be tolerated under any circumstances, there is no excuse for it. I hope the league is seen to act fast if there is truth to it, but to be honest I would prefer there was no truth to it.
Did the team get an injunction? Who's going to name and shame or are we all going to wait for Chiefscout to do it?
