There’s two options on the table as far as I’m concerned now
Either the management committee pull the plug on the league or abbey are withdrawn from all competitions until further notice.
Neither is a good option but unfortunately I don’t see any other way to solve this.
Going by that statement Some of the comments made by one committee member in particular was very unnecessary.
Option 1, pull the plug on the league, train up new refs and, fire all the existing referee’s so we never have to look at them again. Let’s call a spade a spade, we tolerated their poor performances for long enough, bar 3 or 4, their fitness is shocking and they would talk down to u as if they were company directors. Enough is enough, it’s time for the refs to sail on into the sunset, they have enough damage done. But before ye go, be sure to apologise to all the clubs whose 8 months hard work ye have flushed down the toilet
Your obviously highly involved with abbey Gazza. Some amount of hate there towards the refs which is completely uncalled for. The refs as I said before are completely in d right and hopefully it does get media coverage it deserves. Hopefully it gets resolved quickly now and the ref bashing stops and the truth fully comes out
Where did I say it was acceptable for the ref to be assaulted, have 2 bans not been handed out, one of which signed a statement to the league claiming responsibility for both offences.
Can u say yes or no to the above statement
Finally, can u confirm how many games this ref has abandoned in the last four years and the reasons for same
1)Two accounts at least setup since the incident, 2) these accounts have done nothing but support the “refs”
3) the statement released on a newly created fb page was released here at the same time
Yeah u are right, ye aren’t refs.
Mail each other privately now and tell each other about how good a job ye did at some u8 match this evening
People entitled to have their say Gazza not just from abbey. Everyone I’ve spoken to have fully backed d refs (I’m not a ref) and all off d opinion abbey r in d wrong and was not handled correctly. Just on a side note there is no refs for u8 but there might have to be back in abbey though
If you read my message I never stated that you said it was acceptable for a ref to be assaulted. I asked you how is it acceptable for a ref to be assaulted due to your persistence that the refs are 100% wrong.
No one ban has been handed out to someone who has subsequently denied it.
No I can’t confirm that as, like you, I don’t know how many.
The meeting where from what I heard the refs were dragged through d rubbish. From people who I know were at d meeting there was support for abbey like always when the have some1 backing them at d top table that’s going to be d case abbey are the love child of d league and Jesus god forbid anything happens them. Strange that the player in question was not called in front of d committee and ban just given. Think about d clubs about to be promoted to premier and division 1. As was said previously if it was any other team they would be gone by now
Let's try and keep things civil by the way lads, last thing we want is Desmond League discussion being stopped entirely.
The fact he thinks that I’m a referee is laughable to be honest.
Most people have made very good and fair points. He just seems to be trolling at this stage. Defend your club fair enough. But some of the accusations being thrown out are crazy
Its clear Gazza is too emotionally invested in this to have a discussion with. As stated my account set up in 2018, I am clearly not a ref. Not all clubs went against the refs in the meeting, Creeves, AK and Rathkeale called for compromise and hearing the refs side of story.
