As somebody from the Fintona area but not connected to the club, I'm just as embarrassed and outraged by the videos of players/management/parents surrounding the referee as I am about the other incident. Who in their right mind would want to be a referee in the current climate?
The worrying thing about today is that most people I've spoken to has started off the conversation by saying 'the ref was poor' or 'the referee gave Fintona nothing' as if to try and half justify what was going on at the final whistle - the completely wrong attitude. If any of my children approached a referee like some of the players did last night, I'd be putting a ban on them myself, never mind about the county board. Parents need to step up and do better.
I seen this Fintona under 16 team first hand a few weeks ago when they beat us in championship first round, they have some great players but unfortunately for them they had some players who verbally were not behind the door one in particular who was in the video I seen last night abusing the ref leaving the field, they also had a linesman who did not cover himself in glory either Not overly surprised they ended in a mess!! Just surprised in the mannner of the mess!!
