ya it was getting to the stage where referees were nearly refusing to do their matches. why would you do it like, the amount of abuse and you're tryin to do your job on a sunday morning. if we didn't have refs we'd have no soccer. it's sad for a club like shelbourne who are ambitious and could have gone up to 1A this season and i don't think they've ever been in 1A, i await correction on that but i never remember shels being in 1A, definitely not premier anyway

ya i know pat as well, very nice fella. he's involved with the B team this season i think. tried to sign me a few times in my playing days!!! last time i was talkin to him he said he was half embarrassed to be involved with shels the way things were and that was last season. i don't think he was involved with the A team much this season

Whos the manager of the A team

i think it's the former distillery manager but i can't think of his name. definitely an ex-distillery man involved with them anyway as far as i know

so they relegate the team. does that mean they won't abuse ref's next year? not a great solution to the problem really.....

players should be banned and get life bans from attacking refs, serious year bans for threating refs at games etc.

Its strange! they can abuse refs in the lower lower league i wonder how many of the players in the shels team are clubmen,the players will move on to different clubs and shels will will end up with the punishment.

I have it from a good source that several of the Shels players received lenghty bans this week.
One six months, two players got a year, and one two years. All are appealing.

Once more lads, can we please get back to 1B and not focus our attention on a club thats in enough bother without us making it worse. As everyone knows, a few players can ruin a club if allowed, and I'm sure we'll see Shels back and doing well again next season, once they've addressed the problem.

So, any calls on the weekends games chaps??
