Irish Officials receive prestegious appointments

I hope they are shown up for the idiots that they are and then maybe Delaney will sort it out.

Thats so typical of people on this board. Negative, negative and negative and then expect some one else to sort out the problem.

Do you know how hard it is to retain referees in this country? Most referees quit within the first 12 months of becoming a referee because of the level of abuse at schoolboy and junior matches.

Perhaps BohsBohsBohs instead of looking to some one else, you might have a solution to the problem yourself or better still get out of the comfort of the stand, grab a whistle and see if you are any better!

Have to agree.
It'd be great to say positive things, but Alan Kelly's shocker last Friday puts the lie to any notion that we have a decent standard in the EL.
