Come to think of it, is it even possible that there is a "best" referee in this league ? Our semi final against Bohs and the last 2 games we've seen very questionable referee's, two of which (Winter and Buttimer) we know all to well about :(. We are going backwards with referee standards, former LoI referee's moniter how referee's are performing, the situation will get worse before it gets better, mainly because just the tought of Richie Winter and Anthony Buttimer being in the position of monitering referee's when they retire makes me fear that it will be a long,long time before a decent referee comes along.Quote:

I have never been so angry at a match before. And I've seen some disgraceful referreeing performances. Even the Sligo fans I was talking to after the match were questioning why the free kick was allowed.
I know most refs in this league are incompetant, but some are blatantly biased. I can name two.
It's this sort of stuff that makes people not come back to LoI matches. There was a woman in tears at the end of the match today.
I don't know if there's any point emailing the FAI, but I will do. I'll email MNS also, simply asking them to show the sequence of events from 10 seconds before the free-kick was awarded until the goal was scored. [btw, the free-kick was questionable]
I can only hope that Buttimer's instructions were videoed.
I'm disgusted.
Why are you objectionable, what is the law on a quick free kick?Quote:

Hopefully this will all be on video.
Fair fecks to Sligo, they done so so much better than the second half on Tuesday. Vastly inproved. No team deserved to win tonight though.
Well maybe he is queer blow some back the next time.Quote:

To me Derry were settling for a draw at that stage, the derry fans were very quiet in the second half. Ithink rovers were trying more to win it and in my eyes deserved it after the week we've had.
MNS will be interesting.
A lot of your post match analysis start like thisQuote:

In all honesty - we've been playing ****e for far too long. No consistency, so I'm not surprised we lost the match. Blaming it all on Buttimer is the easy way out. We have some serious issues that need addressed.
If this is true then that goal shouldnt have been allowed.Quote:

TBH I think most people should reserve judgement until we see MNS, then there can be some definite light thrown on it.
What ever about a questionable quick free kick if this is true he should be banned immediately.Quote:

A ref rileing up fans?
Thats dodgy stuff and has only himself to blame when a few idiots try to burst the clown.
Not a bit of bother with Dundalk fans in the Showgies this season.Quote:

We deserved our victory on the night, Derry created very few chances themselves. And very quick thinking by Cretaro for the goal.
No bother between Dundalk & home fans, doesn't mean there was no bother overall;)Quote:

RTE did't conduct the interview in front of the shed, they conduct all their post-match interviews in the purposely constructed media room in Oriel. Perhaps the scumbags who were throwing stuff on to the pitch took their lead from above GAA-boys (and not a camera crew, or opposition manager in sight).Quote:

Every mong in the street knows it was a stupid thing to do, the board have said they won't accept this type of behaviour and those involved in trouble will be banned from Oriel.

No it's not. Everyone here has seen disputable decisions likke this many times over and we're all still here.Quote:

Regarding the freekick incident, obviously i haven't seen it but the the advantage is always with the person taking the free but if he did the whistle thing, that could change the circumstances.
From what I heard that's not entirely true, but thanks to the European game we managed to replace the missing blue seats!;)Quote:

What is it with Derry fans and blaming the refs every time they lose. Refs in LOI are rubbish a large majority of the time for both teams. They were crap in the Bohs Dundalk, Rovers UCD and Im sure in most of the other games. But its always the refs fault when you lose never they players or manager.
The standard of refereeing is bad, I think that one thing we can all agree on. But when the ref gives a disputed free kick 3 minutes before the end of the game, holds his whistle up to signal "wait for the whistle" then a quick free is taken before any whistle which is scored we have every right to question the refs bias in this instance.
And whilst we're on the subject of Buttimer one only has to cast your mind back to the cup final last year and the dodgy penalty he awarded Bohs and the clear cut foul of Sammy Morrow inside the Bohs box when he waved play on. The man's bias should be questioned.
learn the rules of the game before you come on to internet forums. As you said yourself you were not at the game, sorry i can't help but :d at you brian.Quote:

Or not. Couple of lads on our forum claiming that they spoke to the camera man after the match. He claimed he didn't catch any incident around the ball, neither the whistle being held up or I would assume Cretaro asking the ref if he could hit it quickly - he had his camera on the City goalkeeper.Quote:

Ergo, whilst many in the League think Kelly is a disaster, most Derry fans would be happy enoughto see him in the middle as he hasn't done enough in our games to bring that much attention to himself. However Stokes and latterly Hancock and Buttimer are hated, plain and simple.
Basically, if you're looking for objective, hard-headed analysis, I'd say a football fan's site is the wrong place.
What matters is Derry, Cork and most likely Dundalk trips are out for Rovers and Sheridan. :)
Barring Sligo away (and its immediate presumption of cup final stature), Rovers should be confident..
