Antrim Football Thread

[Milltown Row2]

Ive had a few friendly digs with MR2 over the years but hes the balls to come on and try to justify his decisions

Too much talk about refs - its because youve one on here and yis are at him steady for his view even when hes not involved never mind when he is. Einstein wouldnt be in it

Anyway, feel a bit dirty now as hes nahin but a heure 😃

You Lurgan lot are dirty halions anyways

[quit yo jibbajabba]

Not even right County MR2 but im playin nice today 😉

If your team wins, the ref if the best in the county.
If your team loses, its the refs fault.
And thats the way it will be until the end of time

Maybe, just maybe only scoring 0-2 in a half when you have the mccans, shivers, gribben etc is the reason cargin lost? But sure blame the ref 😃

Your previous post seems to suggest it. Who is to blame for the mighty cargin getting beat then? Cassidy?
Players?
Ref?
Creggan just the better team?

There has to be some excuse so what is it?

Its the big calls at the big times that decide games.

As above for me, I agree with all that..

We have to draw a line under it and move on, on a final note I called MR2 out to explain things only as I know he is on here. Wouldn't be satisfied with any of explanations. What we scored or missed is irrelevant by the way. Foul counts are also irrelevant. Its the big calls at the big times that decide games.

On a final note just looked through Tyrone and Cavan threads there and I cant see Martin Hurson or Joe McQuillan on there anywhere explaining their decisions or giving a summary on how one team won or lost the game. Ridiculous what goes on here

What a ridiculous post.

[Saffronaldo]

I don't think people were making excuses, I think most  people agree Creggan deserved their win. The concerns were raised over a number of questionable refereeing decisions at crucial moments which all seemed to favour one side over the other. As a concerned neutral, I don't think it was an acceptable performance at Senior Championship level.

Seems to suggest it? No one blamed MR2 for our defeat, just calling out a poor performance from him with some bizarre calls. Are referees immune from criticism or is it just players and managers who can be criticised? You can read back and see I said Creggan deserved to go through.

As said above by others. You call him out and then when he explains his decisions, you criticise him for doing it.

[geezer]

You asked him to explain his decisions and he did then you went on about cavan and tyrone boards! Made no sense whatsoever.

You can't have it both ways, ones we're asking why the calls were given, I'm not hiding either. My officiating didn't lose the game, if you believe that then fine. I've no axe to grind, it suits though others to find other reasons for losing. I can't think of any tbf.

Nobody makes suggestion that you were responsible for Cargin losing but nobody in Toome will forget how you found 9 minutes plus injury time in the second period of the 2019 decider.
Or why such concluded when L D grabbed the equaliser....

Each time you have officiated in a Cargin game such is always clouded with controversy.

Even us Culchies ca  take opportunity to review the game and to jog your memory.
Creggan scored 9 points in the second period to include 6 from frees all awarded less than  40 metres from the Cargin  posts with several hugely controversial

Will pass no further comment on this issue....just to say you were spotted in attendance when Cargin played their opening game in Ulster club 2019....

Like I said before, you can PM me details and I'll pass them on to the relevant officers and they will arrange for you to do the course. either here or Tyrone. You'd be amazing at it, I'd say Lleyton Hewitt standard, no where near the best tennis playing standards of Novak

Not sure what the tennis reference.is about, but disappointing to see the tired old defence of "you do the course".

If I see incompetence I'm entitled to call it out, I don't have to take up a whistle to do it.
