Having been to a few challenge games the penalty for players mouthing is working perfectly.

The referees job will in time (once the rules are embedded) be a much more pleasant job and hopefully we see the volume of refs increase across the country

I see McGregor is on a whirlwind tour of college sporting events.

From reading comments many in the US have no idea of half of what he got up to here.

Aligning himself with Trump will mean he remains relevant and 'popular' in the States for the next 4 years anyway among a chunk of the population - unfortunately

Looks like the one in Hollywood Hills was arson.

Dont think there has been anything definitive for the others.

Quote from: Milltown Row2 on January 08, 2025, 10:42:12 AMTo be fair, I'm fairly tolerant, but every ref is different with regards to how people speak to them. So take that 'excuse' away from him altogether and set the ball down and move on...

Think as ex players/supporters/managers and so on most ref's understand that if a player 'asks' why the free was given the ref will explain, either verbally or demonstrate by actions what the free was given for, its the second or third time when questioning the reason that is a pain in the arse and that would or should be the reason why its brought forward.

The only game I have done this year I warned a lad 2 times and said that the next time he gives off I'll be moving the ball forward. This is a bedding in period for everyone, the players and management will make as many mistakes than the ref.

And I suppose the mood of the ref will determine things to, they aint robots  ;D

I'm fairly vocal in my games, and usually right on top of play so generally speech playing with the players, saying 'all good' 'play on' 'no foul, get up' and so on.

It'll be the cut and thrust of championship when things will be really on the line that will be the most difficult, regardless of refs being mic'd up and plenty of officials at hand

Surely if a player does that the ball will be moved forward MR2?

Ball has to be handed back directly to the player or has that been changed?

Totally, it was ridiculous. Bunting and Humphries seemed to be happy just to be on stage with Littler. MVG be there to win. Ruthless.

Why have a few people mentioned Humphries?

Got gifted 6 bottles of red and white Lebanese wine.

Anyone tasted it before?

Trying to decide if I should drink it or 'gift it'

Quote from: Cranagh_Bandit on November 15, 2024, 09:14:35 AMhas anyone seen the whatsapp messages going about of a certain County player, i hope this is fiction and not true for its not a good look

If you believe that I have some magic beans to sell you!

Same.

First point would be if there was a find then it would have been on the news.

It wasnt just a Tyrone player mentioned in the one that I saw either - another county were implicated.

No idea how people come up with this shite.

Quote from: general_lee on November 13, 2024, 02:54:51 PMNot county but any white smoke in Crossmaglen? Two ex county coaches been linked but nothing confirmed.

I thought I read last night it was Vinny Corey? (that he was the new manager)

Who is the other mentioned?

Quote from: 5times5times on November 11, 2024, 01:29:41 PMSome difference in refereeing quality also yesterday in Celtic Park.

1st ref couldn't help himself constantly blowing the whistle. Very harsh calls.
2nd ref was what we want. Play hard and fair and he let's it go


Exactly. The first ref stopped the game multiple times for stupid shit.

Did he book someone along the line for giving water to a player when the ball was at the far side of the pitch?

Quote from: Tony Baloney on November 11, 2024, 01:49:49 PMWho is decent out there at the minute? I see that Paul Smith fella is selling out arenas all over the place on the basis of short clips online of him roasting audience members. Not sure what the rest of his content is like but he'd be going some to fill a show if that's all he has.

Total let down....went to show in Belfast, ribbed a few in the audience but I got  bored with a long yarn about a stag & drugs.
Left early to avoid the car park traffic tbh,!

Exactly this - the funniest part of his routine is audience engagement.

After this the stories are long and get tedious quite quickly.

Best avoided
