Mistakes by the Ref

Doire abú · October 26, 2007, 11:30:39 AM

Boys just to clear the Bradley thing up. You can ask anyone at the match, Bradley tapped the ref on the shoulder to get his attention to point him to the scoreboard (ref said the game ended a draw even though the scoreboard said Glenullin beat An Lúb by a point). Now if the captain can't tap the referee on the shoulder to bring up a grievance with him then I'm not quite sure what our sport's turning into.

Even three or four boys who don't like Paddy at all have backed that up.

But sure then again the truth isn't as exciting is it?

look I'm not going to go into this whole thing again...if any of the posters reading this want to thrawl the derry pages and see where it was discussed, you will find a number of accounts on the episode that totally contradict Doire abu account. He is saying that the ref in his report lied...and thast is the reason why PB got his suspension. I won't post on this again.

I can only go what I heard and as I say I've heard from sources who hate Paddy Bradley (and we all know theres a few of them in Derry), that he didn't nothing wrong. I'm not saying there hasn't been incidents in the past where he could've got sent off, but this wasn't one of them.

This GAA lark is riddled with anti-Cork bias.

And proper order too

Yeah but who really wrote the referee's report

those posters from derry will know what i am on about
Anyone who was neutral at the match that i spoke to clearly stated that bradley tapped the ref on the shoulder and pointed to the scoreboard which reflected the correct score. they also told me that one of the management team from the opposition helped stir up the pot big time.
bradley's arrogance has made him no friends but he still deserved fair play

Fair play ? Sure he got fair play - Fergal Logan got him off - tonight he has an All Star, A Railway Cup Medal and a county medal l- not bad for a mna who was suspended a while back and didn't have to serve his term !!!!!!!
