he is one of the most ignorant man I have ever met....always was and will be a clown.....he likes to be in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. He has been involved in some major decisions down the years involving teams going for the league title....i saw him rob villa utd a few years back against kinsale and he did the same to millstreet against springfield....they are just two daylight robberies that I saw and im sure there are plenty more....
Wow!
Some totally OTT posts about the referee in the park v Kinsale game last weekend!
I didn't agree with all his decisions but that happens every week.
I didn't think he had a bad game and the pen was missed so it didn't influence the result of the game.
As for the comment about the villa v Kinsale game from 2006...
That's nearly as bad as England giving out about Maradonas handball in 1986.
Get over it!
Villa lost that league by 7pts btw so why bring it up 6 years later??
Also I don't think anonymous posters should be slating refs on this site.
I hope I'm still anonymous
What I mean is that we are all anonymous here.
Maybe we can make an educated guess who some posters are but in the majority of cases we won't know exactly who is posting. In some cases a number of guys post under the one name.
We shouldn't name refs and then slate them.
It's not fair.
Worst case - mention decisions he got wrong and do not name him.
This is my opinion
Fair enough on the naming & shaming, agreed there on that one. It's just when you have 15/16 players who get up on a sunday morning at 8/830am after staying away from pubs the night before to go and play a game - something thats voluntary because you love playing - and then you get someone who destroys a game, who is getting paid to do the job, its really really frustrating. Im not having a pop off all refs, there are some really good ones.... But you get what i'm saying. I know the refs job can be impossible but they're the ones getting the moolah not ourselves. But fair enough about naming & shaming..
I hear ya JRyno.
Mistakes that cost us games are frustrating.
Be it refs, centre halves, keepers or coaches.
Mistakes are made everywhere.
No ref is perfect - we see this in the English premiership all the time. But I really think that they are trying to do their best. That is all we can ask for I think.
That won't stop me having a go next Saturday![]()
i doubt many will fall for that hubba bubba
I never said anything about kinsale I was referring to the two games that I was a spectator and the ref in question gave probably the worst displays of referring I have ever seen..and you are in no position to be telling people that if they are anonymous they should not be slating refs...im not involved with any club and I am entitled to give my opinion as a neutral spectator as I see it without taking sides
In my opinion anonymous posters (like you and me) should not come on here and slate refs and name them.
That is my opinion - it is not a rule!!!
If you wish to do differently then go ahead.
The worst that can happen is for an anonymous poster to disagree with you.
No big deal![]()

best of luck to Coachford at weekend
I agree that its not right to be slating refs on here, they have a hard enough time every weekend and remember without them we wouldn't have any games at all to go to.
I do think that this forum is for the likes of commenting on refs etc, but let the reader do his own digging if he wants to find out the ref was. And thats from someone who has named and shamed in error before.
On the subject of refs, I thought the shortage had gone but it seems to be back again. Does anyone have any thoeries to why? I would have thought the €84 tax free every weekend would be a temptation for a lot in these hard times. Im lucky enough to have a job, but if I didnt i would seriously consider it to pay the bills.
Just remember, every kick makes me stronger and more determined. Indians always come back!
