Lads was out in Jackman Park tonight for the 1 A cup game between Geraldines and Prospect and i was disapointed to see that L.D.M.C. had no linesman or assistant Referees as we call them these days appointed for the match.
Now the reason im bringing this up is i was standing behind the dug out with 15 minutes gone in to the second half when the guy doing the line for Geraldines who was totally ****ed out of his head flagged for a throw in to Geraldines which the ref gave and from the throw in Geralidines were awarded a free kick and 30 seconds later the ball was in the back of the Prospect net to the annoyance of the Prospect sideline.
Now from where i was standing you could see that the ball was a couple of feet in play and at this stage the match was 2 all.
This decision by the ref changed the the whole outlook of the game as Geraldines went on to win the game by 4 goals to 2.
When the Prospect touchline asked the Geraldines mentors and the Referee to take the flag of him they refused and at this stage he must have fallen over at least 3 times and the people behind the wall thought it was very funny.
Now if i was involved with a club who PAY their FEES and have their supporters PAY THEIR MONEY to go into JACKMAN PARK i wouldent find it a bit funny to be treated like this.
But then again nothing surprises me lately with Junior football in this town.
P.S. was told on the way out the same guy was P;;;ing against the Dressing Room wall before the match when he was approached by 2 members of Council he said he dident know where the toilets were they told him look up and over his head was a sign TOILETS.
Thank God its only junior football.
