Does this mean that the match is going ahead on the following week - end ?
I hear that ye have turned the corner this season and are now flying in the league . Is this True ?. The Heane will be a hard nut to crack particularly with their potent strike who are very quick and nimble. Are ye travelling over night or other ? The Don Seems to be the Heane man on this Forum. so he may be the man to contact directly !
Have a good day at the wedding and does this mean that he will be gone on the honeymoon for the match ?

Referee not going to be a problem because they are going to be from outside the league, either Galway or Sligo I presume. We'll probably both end up complaining!. Castlebar is about 5 mins drive away and you can see 2 pubs from the pitch.

**UL Boys** · 01/02/2006, 9:46 AM

Thanks...We are used to bad referees so it should be fun....

**Gert Muller** · 01/02/2006, 10:23 AM

My dad (an infamous hard man of Mayo football) used to tell that there are two basic rules of football:
1. The Referee is a b*ll*cks.
2. Never tell him.

I have to say that this was usually what I lived by on the pitch when I was playing but in recent years my perspective has changed a bit.

To get the best out of a player, particularly a youth player, when coaching, you should always be encouraging when speaking to the player. All players (should) want to improve.

I had a conversation I had with a referee after a game recently pointed out the same theory to me regarding them. I told the ref that I didn't agree with some of the decisions he had made but thanked him for the manner in which he a refereed the game. He had allowed it to flow and used the 3 second advantage rule perfectly.

We can't have a game of football without a Referee - therefore they sould be respected. And, why do we assume that they aren't out to improve with each performance!? Who in their right mind would sign up for refereeing when you consider the abuse they get (and I do hand out my fair share). Maybe they love the game!

Fair points and very true

**UL Boys** · 01/02/2006, 10:32 AM

Very true ,but it is hard to keep youre thoughts to youreself when you are 10 yards onside and the referee who is on the halfway line is telling you that you are offside,but as you say you cant have a game without a referee..

**Gert Muller** · 01/02/2006, 10:38 AM

The Scottish referees are sponsored by SpecSavers. I've thought over the last few years that referees associations should seek sponsorship from optitians - it might add a need sence of huumour aside from the cash!

**Gert Muller** · 01/02/2006, 11:04 AM

By the way, for any of the Killester guys travelling to Westport on Saturday Blousers and The Jester are the main football pubs, think The Jester has some sort of a promotion goin' on Saturday night. There's about 40 oubs in town so ye won't be stuck!
