    Standard of Refereeing in the North

    I am sorry ... but what i have seen of it so far .... it is just brutal.

    Chríst above .... how do you put up with it ..... and i though we were bad !!
    The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.

    We know As for putting up with it, what choice do we have.
    Every Fan thinks the ref is biased against them and gives all the decisions the other way, rose tinted glassess and all, but I've watched ganes as a nuetral and I still think the refs up here are keek.

    The ref we had in the game against Longford wasn't to bad.

    oh holy cow, some of our refs are diabolical! don't start me.

    even the supposed top rated refs are the pits.
    the 2 best i've seen all season have been one on the verge of retirement and a 16 year old from fermanagh taking a reserve game. both head and shoulders above the rest from what i've seen.
    starting to have a real shortage these days, in east antrim alone something like 17 refs at all levels have given up in the last year.
    Larne FC for Larne Town. Inver Park for the people.

    Thumbs down

    Well only seen 2 NI refs for citys setanta cup games.

    Guy at the cross was brutal. 2 sendings off & something like 7 yellow cards & hardly a bad tackle amoung them in bad weather conditions.

    Guy last night did ok i suppose as left game flow but allowing linesman decision was shocking & could cost city 50k & chance at another 70k on top.
