Armagh Club football & hurling

[Onion Bag]

agree wit u winsamsoon but at the end of the day most refs in this county deserve criticism but no ref should be touched no matter what...

if the nab hada been threw out for a few years when they were up for a lot worse a while back we wouldn't be in this situation again.  but because of that people think they can get away with it

Not Jusitfying what happened that day but the differerance here was that there were no players involved at all, it was a lunatic club member that was involved, so it is slighlty different than a player hitting a referee

[Off The Fence]

Correct me if I'm wrong but has this Smith boy not been involved in incidents before

Maghery v Carrickcruppen  a couple of years ago,  Was he not involved in a row in Tir an Og a while back either when he wasnt even refereeing.

From what I hear from talking to other people, he thinks he is the hard man and full of smart remarks

[Goats Do Shave]

He was a bit of a thug when he played right enough.

He was a bit of a thug when he played right enough.

He's a bouncer in the Railway Bar in Lurgan at the weekends and he def fancies himself as a hard man, i've heard him myself threaten players whilst doing lines man in Portadown one night so i'm surprised he didn't wanna kill this guy who tapped him on the belly FFS. If he's such a tough man that can beat half of mid ulster why would a tap on the belly matter to him, he's made out to be that hard Chuck Norris is scared of him FFS

[winsamsoon]

to put light on this,all referees are asessed in the first 4 weeks of the season.2nd point,the committee have to appoint referees for the match and due to the lack of referees that clubs provide they have to make do wot they have.if u want changes on the standard of referees then tell ure club to provide refs,not slate them,alas two teams on the pitch and the ref decides that on a fri nite or sun a/noon that he would prefer to spend quality time with family or have a pint ,or listen to abusot i would know wot i would prefer,moral of story,learn the rules b4 u kick a ball

Eire this is the point that yo have failed to read in my post. We have a lot of refs that don't know the rules. We also have a lot of refs that interpret the same rule in different ways, check back to the incidents i cited. I realise they give up theri spare time and i acknowledge that they are an integral part of our sport. However they are not above the laws of our game and should certainly not be adding to the controversy as much as they do.

Cruppen 2-10 St Pat's 0-14

Cruppen won it with a goal from the last kick of the game. Complete disaster. Off to another bad start and were 0-4 to 0-1 down with 10 minutes. Slowly made our way back into the game and finished the first half level at 0-4 a piece. Very very poor standard of football in the first half. Picked up a fair bit in the second half and we showed good character to come back from a Cruppen goal midway through the second half. Looked like Tony Donnelly had won it for us in injury time but Cruppen struck with a late late goal. Eugene Casey did the lion's share of our scoring from ball and Mal Mackin had a good enough match.

Hard to know what to say after that. Just one of those things I suppose. We're certainly in a relegation battle now it seems. Couple of strange decisions from the referee. The worst was in the first half when he gave a wide despite both umpires initially signalling a point to Cullyhanna. Have to say my impression was that it was over though I was a brave bit away. Really need to get a couple of wins now to lift our season.

Tír na nÓg beat Newtown 2-14 to 1-7.

[fitzroyalty]

Clans had one to spare over Pearse Og. Leading by 9 at one stage. Pearse Og battled well and Clans should never have let them back in but a wins a win.
