Ref Declan Hanney Dismissed

[Olander]

Buttimer is probably the best referee in the league at the moment.
At least he's consistent.

yes, he's consistently ****.

Terrible ref's ... Paul Deering take a bow

best ref in the first division he ruins every game he refs.hes rubbish

[robbieos88]

Hanney refereed one of my schoolboy games a few years back not far from where he lives as a favour and was the most ignorant person ever, crap ref aswell

[Student Mullet]

Have we any good refs???

I was impressed by the ref for UCD-Monaghan this week. I think he's new, I'd only ever seen him as linesman bafore.

According to my list the assigned referee for that one was Darren Coombes - who used to be the National Referees Recruitment Officer for the FAI

[smasher]

Ref here was brutal. Who appoints these guys? Cup tie was totally ruined by this idiot aggravating players and supporters alike with some crazy decisions, too numerous to mention! He was from Clare, I think, aided and assisted by two equally incompetent linesmen, from Kerry.
Where on earth do they find these guy?

Clare & Kerry respectively.

Clare & Kerry respectively.

If thats the best they can produce I would respectfully suggest that they look elsewhere.

You've got to be either deluded or related.

Darren is a top bloke, dead sound and a good ref..the exact opposite to Hanney..How Hanney is ahead of him is a joke and just shows its jobs for the boys

[DonalE]

Why no mention of our disallowed goal in the second half when Behan didn't go near the keeper? Yes, he was poor, but let's not make out that Sligo were shafted!

I'm sure it wasn't just for the "penalty", that he was shafted, there was nothing wrong with Behan's goal either and also looked a bit harsh to send Butler off for us.

That gimp!

He's useless. I'd rather it was Buttimer again!

I was at the St.Mary's vs Wayside Celtic game and Kelly was referee and the Wayside fellas couldn't believe that he was Premier Divsion standard and supposedly the best in the league.

we had the benefit of alans dad pat kelly (head of referees) reffing the legends match v liverpool last saturday night . i do not like him and the match threatened to boil over on a couple of occasions.
i thought it would have been better to wheel out carpenter or wilfred wallace(two cnuts)

Sure Pat Kelly is an even bigger gimp than his son.

There is no way that man should be head of refereeing in Ireland. He has a constant hatred of Ramblers which he's passed down to his sons. It's not just Ramblers, if Pat Kelly dislikes one person within the club he'll do his upmost to irritate you.
I wasn't around back when he was refereing but my Dad assures me that he was hated and was reluctant to give Ramblers a free-kick. A complete knob back in the day.

I've had a few run in's with him in Ramblers and my Dad's theory that he's a complete knob has been proven right.

[Candystripe]

Did you's realise, depending on how far away a ref has to travel for an FAI cup game they usually get around €800 including expenses ay least.

A few years ago in an FAI cup game at the Brandywell, even though the 4 officials travelled up together they all put in seperate mileage, hotel and other expenses.........came to over €900 each.


So maybe thats why Hanney didn't want to miss out.
