I think everyone should wish the lads a good game.
i would not put paul deering in charge of an under 6 game. i wonder how he will ruin a game as a linesman
I wish McKeon would find something else to occupy his weekends, like shark baiting or playing with traffic...Quote:

(Rico must be not happy at the prospect of a Dublin official - RRS anyone?)

Highly relevant post there, congrats.Quote:

Also, care to elaborate on the rest of your potentially slanderous post?
it wouldnt matter a damn what official you picked they are all atrocious.
Paul Deering is usually 4th official in the Showgrounds, & he is a clueless muppet. i'll be interested to see how he goes about messing up the cup final.
Well - I was witness to the sight of one of your so called "stewards" (actually he was more of a muppet in a jacket) offering some of us out for a fight after the League Cup Final and also spitting at the same section of fans (who were the ordinary colour wearing contingent) - who in the end actually had to be moved by his own colleagues in the end because his behaviour was so bad it was inciting said fans.
And also the good authority that Rovers fans who were not the knuckle dragging idiots that have attached themselves to the club being thrown out and given physical discourtesy in the process (majority of those on some official buses coming back nursing injuries sustained in the process). Why according to one contributor from their side would Michael Burns have been speaking to him on the Monday after to address both his concerns and those of the club?
Anyway - points addressed above - although I should have known better when going into a thread concerning match officials on this ****tip - you get the usual apes slinging their crap views on the standard of officiating in the League. Still it gives me a good laugh reading the deluded comments of no-mark contributors who wouldn't have the guts to take the job on - like yourself ORA. Maybe if you could let me know where you worked I could come around to your offices, stand behind you for 90 minutes each week screaming at you about how crap you were at your job (despite not having any real knowledge of the role you carry out) - then post numerous threads on webforums restating the comments...
Well, enough conversing with the untermensch for one morning - time for a cup of tea...
If I'm a typical fan, you're clearly a typical ref. Zero accountability to the paying customer.
Believe it or not I am accountable in my job, and I get judged on how well I do it.
The idea that somehow refs shouldn't be criticised by fans is absolute horsecrap, as is the suggestion that me becoming a ref is somehow the solution.
Whilst a referees job may not be easy, football isn't a black box, refereeing is broadly about keeping up with play, being in the right place and keeping control of the game, regardless of how you may try and complicate it.
I've watched enough football over the years to differentiate between a few wrong decisions (which even the best refs have) and referees who take the easy way out and effectively let the home crowd ref the match and those, like McKeon, whose error rate is simply too high.
You can keep throwing up as many diversions and complications as you want, but at the end of the day, the vast majority of paying spectators agree with me and that can't be ignored.
Paul Deering, oh this will be fun:D.
So comments like these are acceptable criticism?Quote:

As sa CCFC supporter, I'm not pleased with the choices.
But in fairness, it's not like the talent pool is great to start with, the odds were that we'd end up with a poor ref.
Paul Deering.:D
Unlucky. THe man is a clueless ego tripping ref.
He'll more than likely ruin the cup final.
But it'll be funny to watch.
Paul Deering of Sligo is NOT on the cup final. The other assistant referee is Damian McGrath from Mayo.Quote:
