Buttimer's comments in Galway

**Dodge** · 07/07/2010, 2:22 PM

"I'll race you for your wages" while warming up beside Anto Flood.

Surprised it hasn't been mentioned here.

I would love nothing more than to see this over officious clown be disciplined but does anyone think he will be (or should be)?

**pineapple stu** · 07/07/2010, 2:27 PM

It's in the weekend latest thread I think.

Very silly at best if he did say it.

**dong** · 07/07/2010, 2:29 PM

He should be sacked if he did say that. It's an outrageous comment for a Refereee to make. If a fan shouted it you might even say it was a bit low!
There's a certain other Ref who I would rather see get the bullet.

However I doubt if anything will be done. Sure they are all doing a great job.

Was definitely in poor taste. A bad week for officials, on the drogheda forum it says that the club have lodged an official complaint with the fai over the lino apparantly giving them the fingers.

Shoot me down if ye want but i think people are overreacting. As MrA mentioned on another topic, and I agree - Galway should be concentrating on their own problems regarding form and lack of crowds.

**pineapple stu** · 07/07/2010, 3:01 PM

It was on another topic though; kind of important, that. They're fully within their rights to complain about stuff like this as well.

I'm sure Bisto would have laughed at it, he's a header himself and joker. Much ado about nothing!

He's a whiging arsehole who complains about everything (teammates, refs, the crowd, everything...)

I'd imagine a bit of this is Connor trying to deflect from the brutal result but that doesn't mean Buttimer should be allowed get away with this sort of rubbish. The sme guy is a stickler for doing things correctly on and off the pitch (clashing shorts etc etc) so he should know better than to be joking about wages in Galway.

Leave that to opposition fans

**SkStu** · 07/07/2010, 3:09 PM

what does "ill race you for your wages" even mean? How is that supposed to be funny? If i was Flood id have taken him up on his challenge the stupid, bendy geebag.

**PartySaint** · 07/07/2010, 3:33 PM

So im the only one who laughed then??

No, It definitely amused me.

But any excuse to discipline Buttimer (and lessen the chances of having him ref pats games) should be exploited IMO

No BISTO wasnt laughing

butt****er gave everything against him during the game. he did well to restrain himself. wait till you see on MNS,I have never seen a more blatant penalty. flood had a cut on his leg after it!!! No way was that scumbag going to give it though.

buttimer should be sacked. not just because hes an arrogant old tosspott, hes also a ****e ref. Worst in the league.

Also Brays first goal was offside, and we had a shot that looked like it was over the line that of course was not given. I guess MNS will reveal a lot.

Im not making excuses for our performance against bray. connor and many of our supporters have already said we were poor on the nite but the referee still robbed us.

BAD WEEK FOR REFS.

Buttimer is a tit but what he did is approxiamately six thousand percent less serious than what Galway United did.

I know who I'd be more upset with if I was Anto Flood like.

What punishment should Galway get for not paying their players??

**Riddickcule** · 07/07/2010, 3:52 PM

Only a bit of banter

I would say the same as any other club that has reached agreement with players over a wage deferral or wage cut. Nothing. Once the players agree, Galway are off the hook.

My point of course being Galway are possibly slightly more at fault than Buttimer here.

Thank you for the injection of the blatantly obvious into the thread though. :yawns:

well your point wasnt very well made then.

And i dont agree with your opinion. How a negotiated/agreed wage deferral is 6000% more serious than inappropriate comments from someone who is supposed to be impartial and removed from everything except the game at hand. I'd like to see your calculations please.
