they were there because the games they were down to do were called off

They were there before kick off they, should have helped him by doing the line it was a tough match for him to get.

[the dazzler]

well your right enda quaid would be bias as ive often seen him wearing hes fairview jacket at there games plus he is a member up there

[alidiei]

The leagues need linesmen,when we played pike there was refs watching the match behind the goals and robbie on hes own with no help crazy stuff.

maybe the big games but money woud be a problem cause it would cost at least 120 euros a game

[oscar]

Enda Quaide is the best ref in townno doubt about it

[Limeref]

Your forgetting alot of things ie refs get paid,and when a player has a nightmare he gets dropped,when a manager doesnt get results he goes,when the ref has a nightmare he becomes a grade A the following week.

A lot of the problems arise as players, managers and supporters don't know the Laws, so when the referee acts correctly, the get unwarrented criticism here.

Referees get assesed throughout the season, if the assessors don't feel they are good enough for Premier football, they don't get to referee Premier football.

As for getting paid, yes referees get paid, but not half enough to listen to some of the cr@p that come from the sideline and players.

if a ref is bad then he deserves a bit of criticism the same as every other person on the field. standered of refereeing in limerick is pretty high in fairness but ref that done pike v killmallock was shockin, prob the worst i have ever seen. killmalloc no match ball had to keep using pikes and when that went out over the wall killmallock kicked in a few dodgy training balls.. are times that hard in kilmallock.

I agree with the point, the standard of refereeing in limerick is pretty high. But a lot of the criticism is way over the top i.e. " the ref .. was shockin, prob the worst i have ever seen".

Whats the point training so hard threw out the season and when it comes to a sunday and the ref gets some very clear decisions wrong and costs you apoint or even 3..everyone makes mistakes and its a tough job but some decisions are very clear cut and they get it wrong

Players feel they can have a pop at referees here, hiding behind their user names. If I came on here and started giving out about individual players, there would be uproar, what if I commented on any of your performances this season, would you be happy?

I don't think so.

i have no problem with a ref making 1 or 2 mistakes as he is human everyone makes mistakes..its just ones that are clear cut they should be getting right..do you think it would be easyer to have linesmen..If so ldmc should bring it in it would help the players and the ref more but as i said money would be the problem..

Every club should be able to afford linesmen,its time to make progress on this subject,the league has to have standards and act as soon as next year,if a club cant afford linesmen they shouldnt be in the prem league.

[the real deal]

its on oscar oh its on

[trueview6]

do many turn up

I know for a fact they dont turn up,all we ask for is effort,everyone makes mistakes but refs need help to improve the game.

The referees society has been arguing for years for linesmen, it just hasn’t happened, the reason why, I could hazard a guess but not here. It would be easier if they were there, and I really don't believe the big clubs in town would have a difficulty with the money aspect. Maybe some time in the future.

As for me, I'm happy down in 3B.
