Is Danger the worst referee in the history of Limerick soccer?
No, Johnny Carey will never be beaten.
No, Johnny Carey will never be beaten.
Ha Ha!
It's a poor reflection on referees in general in Limerick that they get so much flak. Enda Quaid was one of the best referees in Limerick & was always fair to both sides. But the fact that Danger is still refereeing shows that nobody really wants to take up refereeing. Danger tends to annoy both teams and you can't talk to him or he goes off talking in this dialect that nobody understands. He dishes out yellow cards for fun & angers players with his behaviour. Football is all about letting the game flow but sadly in his case, all that flows is what comes out of his mouth, some language that nobody understands.
danger is by far worse than carey....danger gave an offside for a backpass in our last match.
Although I do agree the standard of refereeing in this town is not of the elite standard that we seem to expect from amateurs, I do not agree with naming them and slating them publically on this. Without them, there would be no games at all. Even 5 professional officials get decisions wrong in a top european game, so 1 amateur official is bound to make lots of wrong decisions. We all get games where refs are "all for them" and "all for us". Think ye lads can do better, a whistle in Limerick Sports Store costs 2.75. Best of luck.
well said! the poor aul referees get an awful doing. it's bad enough the abuse they have to tolerate on the pitch from players and managers without being publicly slated on the internet. give em a break. let's not forget that players make mistakes on the pitch tooQuote:

Fair point, but if a manager/player makes a mistake they are criticised. I agree the referees do a vital job but I also believe so much of refereeing is common sense. There are some who you know will not be for one side or the other and they will make their calls and get some right, some wrong. I think we can all accept that. But if a referee gives a decision & refuses to be questioned and books any player that questions him, I think that is out of order. A lot of the younger referees realise that and are willing to explain their decisions as long as they are not ranted at and are not abused. Not for one second would I condone abusing any official, that is out of order.Quote:

I have refereed at underage level myself, it is a thankless job and of course I got decisions wrong, but what I tried to do was let the players get on with the game. If you look at the best there has ever been in world football (Collina) players say he let the game flow & treated players like adults & was always willing to explain his decisions. Simple approach but it works.
Fair play, we all make mistakes

As a past ref yourself, would you like to hear your name mentioned in "the top 5 worst referee's in limerick" if you were still doing it at present? Another thing is we rarely give praise to refs. Players and managers get congratulated all season, at end of seasons awards. Refs get a handshake at the end of the match (sometimes not even that). Why not mention the top refs in town. IMO they are the ones who have played before, the ones with the common sense, so I do agree with you on that. Donal Power is prob my fave. Played until his mid 30's or so, came in a few years ago and is a fantastic ref.

Some good points there Villain10. I think Mike Burke, Jim Clancy & young Hennessy are good refs. I've always liked Ollie Hayes. He's not the fittest, but he is a ref who will explain his decisions and I've NEVER seen him go out to do one side, give decisions against them etc.
this is true and also referees in this league are too inconsistant they give a free and book a player then 5 mins later the exact same situation comes along and nothing happens no booking no free this happened alot in the bruff caherconlish game..if a ref makes a wrong call ok no one is perfect but atleast be consistantQuote:

Dont know about predicting the winners, but I am delighted to see an old team of mine start very Well. Athlunkard Villa had been in 2A so long its great to see them up there competing in 1B this year, have not seen them this season, watched quite a few last season and they have a nice style of football. hope to see thursdays game.

I was delighted to see Hospital drop points the weekend and if we win our games in hand we will be just a point off the pace. We'll be going all out for 6 points by Sunday evening..
