Mistakes by the Ref

This is from www.eveningecho.ie.

Do any posters thing that resting a ref for a while would be the answer where a holy mary of a c**k up is made like say blowing up early in an Offaly hurling match a few years ago or sending off Charlie Redmond and then not putting him off. I know the ref has to be backed but if he cocks up then shouldn't he be sacked..........or at least rested??

I'm mentioning no incidents from this years championship as they're a bit raw/fresh.

No game this weekend for Merseyside derby ref

Mark Clattenburg will not be refereeing a Premier League match this weekend, it has been announced.

The official was criticised for his handling of the Merseyside derby between Everton and Liverpool at Goodison Park on Saturday.

The Professional Game Match Board have now decided Clattenburg will not take charge of a top flight game this weekend.

Nah but they do pick the All Ireland champions.

Sure no wonder the Dub's haven't won it in years , all the Ref's we get a Culchies , we need Rugby League refs like the International Rules

Any sightings of Brian White these days?

That time he sent Canavan and O'Neill off in the Ulster final in Corker was unbelievable ! And unforgiveable ! And guess what - they brought him back to referee the Ireland v Australia match ! Promotion for making a balls up !

That's what you get if you shove officials orangeman - how long did bradley get for the same?

oneillcup2007 · October 24, 2007, 02:13:43 PM

Aye did the referee admit his guilt at that time to get Bradley off. Jeez he went from strength to strngth since he was found not guilty of a complete riot.

Bradley gets away with it.
Donnellan gets away with it.
Niall Cahalane gets 52 weeks!
This GAA lark is riddled with anti-Cork bias.

Always knew he was a bit of a spacer!
