Ruud for the job full time, when's the last time we scored 5!

Correct Supersub, 100% agree.

However, In my opinion, he is not a strong enough referee for a county final. I did think he was poor and I have no links to either club. I dont believe every referee deserves a county final etc. Some are not strong enough for it. In my opinion if the same referee has to do it a few times then thats how it has got to be but it must be a strong ref that doesn't be influenced and makes own decision and is a strong character. Not easy find but I do give mentions to

Brendan Rice
Colm Gribben
Paul Faloon
Kevin McGrath
Darren Ohare
Ciaran Branagan

As the only referees in the county I see fit for finals. Yes they all have faults and may make mistakes as they are human but I don't believe anyone outside this list are strong enough characters for big games.

In this case though the ref was not the issue and Burren have only got themselves to blame

There's a couple in here shouldn't be and a couple that should be. But that's the beauty of the GAA, there's a uniqueness with our game and always a debate on every game. I regularly go to games and disagree with my close friends on decisions, for and against our club.

Watched Dublin, Tyrone, Armagh and Derry SFC finals over the last week. Far stretch from our final which lauded maybe 10 county stars, a final which was as dismal a display as I've seen. No risk, no adventure. Compared to these other counties (all competing at higher end of county game) and it's worrying for next year.
