anyone here about a cpn ref aggressively confronting the officals after cpn game on sat evening?

befair

I saw one of the umpires getting grief afterwards; don't know if it was mentor, more likely a supporter. Easy to blame the officials rather than your own team's indiscipline and naivete

AND?

It's quite remarkable. Highest level of soccer in NI followed by a Senior Championship Semi final against the 6 time county champions. And superb in both. Fair play to him.

SHEEDY

ive heard ciaran mooney gets the dsfc final 🙈 good its not true for the sake of both clubs ! he will ruin a final, or indeed any game for that matter!

Green+Gold

Anyone know why he continues to get the top games? Shows no consistency when making decisions and afraid to make the big calls any time I have seen him ref.

befair

He is a good referee; young, fit, keeps up with the play well, a ref is never going to please everyone

Any referee going into the final must ensure they are willing to make the right calls as per the rule book and the big calls no matter who the team or player involved is. the last week has been dominated by Ronan Barry's performance. He's not fit to referee them big games end off. Ronan is clearly afraid to go against Kilcoo in the big games and sided with them again last week. The fact is, we have very few who are and the blame for that lies with the refereeing board and those who oversee it, allowing the same mistakes and disregard for the rules to pertain every week.
Referees are apparently regularly assessed for Performance, fitness and transparancey. it's clear to almost everyone apart from the co board that a lot of our referees are not fit to even referee and are not applying the rules fairly or in full. They'll either be intimidated by the thought of making the call or maybe they have more to gain by not making the right call.
Good luck to whoever gets the final. If its Ciaran Mooney or whoever so be it, whoever it is needs to be given the full backing of the county board, his linesmen etc and ensure that he can be brave enough to do it right.

I take it your application to become a referee is already lodged?

Just so the County Board have the option of using someone who knows the rule book inside out and can obviously spot every bit of foul play from 100 yrds away in the stand? Or maybe even further away after reading the next week's paper?

The only place that this has dominated this last week is in Warrenpoint. Blaming the ref for being shite, no matter how much you want to be true is never a good look in defeat. Take the soup, learn from it and move on.

Cowardly attack on a GAA volunteer who is not here to defend himself. Wise up !!!!
