Saints defender laments “disgraceful” decisions

[Roo69]

St Patrick’s Athletic defender John Frost has spoken out about the raft of referees’ decisions which have gone against the Inchicore side in recent weeks.

Pats were downed by a controversial late goal from former player Aidan O’Keeffe at Richmond Park as Bohemians stole the points.

However, Saints were adamant that the striker had handled the ball – and Frost feels that his side is getting a raw deal.

He told the Irish Daily Mirror: “It’s the first time I’ve ever really complained about it, but the standard of refereeing in this league is a disgrace. It’s a real kick in the teeth. The last few weeks we’ve been doing ok but refereeing decisions are killing us now.”

“Up in Longford, a penalty was given for a handball which was never a penalty. Then in Bray we had a player sent off for being the last man when there were two men behind him.

"And then on Friday we had a handball for the goal – the chap even admitted it after the game – I don’t know how the lineslady didn’t see it.

It’s the same thing in week in, week out. It’s a disgrace that’s three league games in a row where the referee has done us.”


It was Rohna FFS ! what else does he expect ?

How I love that man...

In fairness it did lokk like a handball and I do think Maguire's sending off against us was pretty harsh but that's what happens sometimes.

And the madder Johnny is, the happier I am.....

Typical anti-Waterford corkie

BTW when we played waterford recently at the end of the game he went to the Waterford support and applauded them. Thought it showed a great deal of character.

And he's already in the running for our POTY

Frost is a decent player but not a patch on Danny Murphy...best left full in the league by a distance..
