Any league fixtures on the ould paper today,,,Some of us have a relagation battle to deal with as well..Its not all about the top of the league....

It will sort itself out but the refs do deserve respect and should not be touch or abused at in the way that mike burke was..Ok he is not the best ref in the town and well he ain't able to keep up with the play at the best of times but at least he is out there and trying....It can be dis-heartening if a goal is scored and it shouldn't have been or if a ball is handled in the box and its not given...Thats football so get on with it!!It happens on tele and it happens in local football!!!

They normally have there committee meeting before the AGM so would imagine that they will have to deal with this due to the importance and effect on so many clubs

Anyone care to discuss the football as opposed to Dom Considine and the rest of the Wembly Crusaders...

Philbert, I think it was a Mitre Multiplex but it was changed to an Errea one after 19 minutes when someone accidentally kicked the Mitre into Rathbane Golf course.

Hilarious..

**no17 fan** · 09/06/2008, 5:06 PM

someone else said this and it's true if Dom(wembley manager) pushed the referee
then six months suspension at a minimum, putting your hands on a ref is a major
no no and the abuse they are getting this season week in week out is out of control
won't be long before ref's pack it in and that will be the end of football in town. STOP
ABUSING REFS,,

I covered both matches.seeing as though one was over at 11.15am..Interesting comment..you obviously missed glasheen's punch or danny hanley trying to do mike aherne,shane o donoghue and darren horan at any opportunity as the game peetered out??

Could we just add the that Aisling be thrown out of the league also for bending over and taking it up the browner from granville

just kidding lads

Not a bad suggestion.. if there's maybe 8 teams in the league come next season then that will mean less games and referees to worry about????:

and maybe thel season will finish in mid- may instead of a projected mid- August

You described it perfectly bar that line...Dom never once put a hand on the ref..Mulcahy pushed the ref and got sent off for it which will result in a 6 month ban

]As a former ref
The problem is coming from the role models.
Constant abuse from the likes of Terry, Rooney, Keane in his day,Robbie Keane to name but a few means there is no respect for referees at any level of the game. Not to mention Alex Ferguson who tries to bully referees whereas if this was rugby he would be long gone for disrepute and trying to influence future refereeing decisions.
I have said this before but would it be so hard to follow the rugby example of the Captain being the only one allowed to 'speak' to the referee.?
Its getting beyond a joke at this stage im glad to be out of the top level to be honest.
Managers have to set the example also as barating the referees sets a bad example to all especially players. Again rugby example could be followed...
On here iv read connie and ohanlon are a disgrace.
Lets get integrity in our game before its get too late.
Also, i am fully aware that referees make mistakes. Human nature im afraid.
But, every player (22) that plays a game of soccer will make at least one mistake in that game.Accept the decisions and the best team will win in the end.

Some fair points Joe but I hardly think Mulcahy was influenced by Paolo Di Canio when he pushed the ref on Sunday..

I never said Dom even touched him which he didn't, I was simply stating the man was pushed twice,by either the same player or 2 different players.

I know I'd never try my hand at being a Referee, far too much hassle for them. As was said above you can be guarnteed all 22 or so players that play a match will at least make a mistake. So when I referee makes one,yes a quick word with the Ref should be had to make sure it doesn't happen again but apart from that he's doing a vital job for the game so leave them be.

Very well said sir, but if the refs in this town were some bit professional in their attidue then i'm sure they'd get the respect they deserve but my god some of them (no names being mentioned) will tell you to f off looking for you to respond so they'll be the topic of the day for sending off so and so!!! Come on thats not on it does happen most players here will agree, theres two sides sir
