What would justify a ref doing that?

A couple of upsets (in my eyes) in the U21's with St Brigids and St Pauls both losing. Decent game in Glenravel, in poor conditions where I witnessed the referee give a Cargin mentor the middle finger mid match. Classy!

the ref just randomly gave the finger?

I think if we are honest and hold our hands up as a club a few fair us of probably believe the ball was not out and the goal probably should have stood, saying that I still would have fancied us to win the game.

I am sorry to bang on about standard of officials, however I heard it from a good source last night that the referee in charge does not have a settled set of umpires and anytime he is out he has a gather up of men (he is not the only one from what I was told.) Surely like all teams you would expect the ref to have a set of umpires he regularly works with, they know what he likes/dislikes and they all understand the brief, not just who is available on any given day or indeed looking in free to watch a match??

Lets call it as it is lads our refs just are not up to it:

O'Neill in the Creggan game with a balls up
Totes completely out of his depth in our game v Brides
Matthews on Saturday wanted the game to be about him, the Ray show almost made a game of it
McDermot on Saturday nothing more than a complete disgrace
Parke yesterday a hurling ref, seems to throw the rule book out the window and allow PG1 to develop scrums all over the show, the only consistent thing was that he was consistently bad

Ghost & Tommy Parke

Some posters are starting to get prickly 

Pressures getting to Bannside 

Ghost+Tommy has cracked too

I can understand BS cracking but whats G&T's motivation?

2 Questions:

1. Is St Brides the most disliked club in Antrim?

2. Do we know if any of the finals are being streamed this weekend?

He's never too far away from them, saw him and one other famous member skulking about at Dunsilly last weekend trying to slip in for nothing with their grand leader Totes, all walked in without a  ticket scanned

is Kevin Parke part of the cartel?

None of the 3 appointed are competent, shambles

Referees confirmed for next weekend.

Refs arent as important as some of them like to think they are. And if they are competent should have no bearing on results.

Nobody will be heading to either final next week to watch a referee.

The full squad will be out

MR2 ref
Collie & Totes linesman
Parke 4th official
O'Neill looking after the subs

MR2 in hiding still... must be promised the big one

How convenient you just happened to hear that in passing, come on there is a lot of ill feeling towards St B's around the county, however remember the secret to a good lie is to make it believable. You might want to check with the LD friends & others on how to cook up a story as I believe that did quite a job in doing so to screw my poor neighbours Creggan in the run up to their Ulster appeal

I overheard Seamus Downey say to a fellow St Biddies man on Sunday leaving Dunsilly that he'd be sorting it out and the management would be roaded,I thought that didn't take long for the lavey brigade to stick their noses in,wts

I have to say I had my doubts about Totes but he was fantastic yesterday, really slowed the game down when we needed it slowing (helped him with the pace of the game) and gave us the benefit of the doubt, Cheers Brendan

Ah come on BS you are disingenuous there, answer the actual question

,😂🤣we are talking about Lamh f in Dherg,they couldn't spell it😂🤣

Dhearg 😉

What are the other scenarios you envisage?

Creggans appeal is with Ulster and will be heard 2moro night.

The outcome will be either to take the game to rematch (probably next Tuesday or Wednesday) or throw it out, in which case Saturdays semi final between PG1 and LD goes ahead as scheduled in Toome at 4pm on Saturday.

Unfortunately BS there are a couple of other scenarios

Anyone fancy a draw with MR2 in the IFC this weekend

So what's in it for the referees for all this match fixing that has gone on and is planned (as cited/accused by posters on here)?

Do I need to align information here with bookies odds and get the retirement plan filled out?

Theory going round also that LD v Creggan was put down for the Sunday to allow Ryan Murray to play as his suspension was up on the Saturday night, who organises the fixtures again?

IMO if the 16th man was that clear and obvious Antrim would have ordered a replay. This Belfast Cartel craic is all fun and jokes but everyone is a geal at the end of the day.

Sour Grapes at this stage from Kickams. Weren't good enough re group and go again next year. However as i have heard the management team are not being welcomed back for next year...

Everyone knows what BT,FQ and the rest off the cartel are like,if Ciaran McCavana and Dominic Murphy were still in charge this wouldn't have happened,wee Frankie and Totes are running the show,i heard earlier in the year at our senior game with cargin,one off the main reasons
why S laverty and E Mc Auley are reffing anymore was because off the cartel
