    L.O.I. Officials Take Charge of Champions League Game

    http://www.extratime.ie/newsdesk/articles/4307/

    I don't know if it's been mentioned on here already, but tonight's
    Champions League game between CFR Cluj & Basel Is being
    officiated by a League of Ireland team of officials. Referee for the
    game is Alan Kelly from Cork.

    Read all about it on the above link.

    Great for the league IMO !

    Depends which way you look at it. Great exposure, but look at the clowns who were advertising it

    Commentators on Sky were very complementary on his performance during the game. Didn't get anything major incorrect and had a pretty good game overall.

    The default view is often negative towards referees but I've always been very impressed with Kelly. Congrats to him, hopefully he'll get a few more before season end.

    The Cluj boys were unhappy at half time and 2 of them approached him - Basel scored just short of 2 minutes into injury time to pull it back to 2-1. Can't remember what time went up on the board, so not sure if their gripe was with the time played, but because of who was officiating, I picked that game as the one to watch last night on the Sky 'red button', and in fairness they did a very good job

    I watched some of the game and thought Anders did ok.
    Was laughing when he recounted the tens teps in the Cluj wall just before half time.
    Good to see a fellow foot.ie poster doing so well.

    I wouldn't have that Sutton as tenth official, a complete imbecile.
    Rode us Rock Solid last Friday night, thank god it was Mervue or we'd have been in trouble.

    I thought the idea with text commentary or 'clockwatch' commentary was to put the most recent updates at the top of the page not the bottom? That whole article is in the wrong order!

    Mark, I know when the Guardian does text updates, it is in the order you suggest, but once the game is over, the timeline 'flips' so you read from top to bottom

    This the bloke impersonating a "referee" that thinks Hoops clash with all white, and books players for winning free kicks?

    Ah it is. Give him a token low profile game then.

    Apparently the reports are all good appart from 1 or 2 doggy offsides. SKY commentary had them down as doing a good job anyway!!

    Best referee in the league by a mile even though he done GUFC in a cup game in Cork a few years ago.

    Kelly is a prat

    and his father was a worse referee. He done us a good number of times, always gets the televised games because of daddy and i once noticed him goad a fan at a match to come over the perimeter fence and hit him after a another woeful decision

    I'd say they were barking at the officials over those.

    George Hamilton just gave Kelly an honourable mention on Lyric. He called it a good day for the Airtricity League...

    But then he immediately played Diana Kraal singing "You May Not Be an Angel" which a few posters here might consider appropriate.
