Armagh Club football & hurling

[qub la la la]

but paudi once gave a free against me before telling the other player not to be diving?? when i asked how could i have fouled the player when he dived i was booked. couldnt understand it but thats the way things are i suppose.

Simple. You tackled him, he dived, you kicked up the balls and said "Get up you diving cnut."
Outcome: Free in for the kick in the balls and a warning to the other boy for diving.

wasnt quite as bad as tha hardstation!

at the end of the day everyone and every club will have gripes with certain referees at one stage or another. but quigley has a bad rapport with nearly every club. and he doesnt get a bad reputation for doing a good job..

Fair enough pints   Anyway outside of Quigley I would agree with you in regards the other refs.  Sure enough Jimmy McKee can be a little hitler sometimes but he knows the rules as does Paudie.  Rory has always been fair, so long as his glasses didn't fog up!

I have to say i think Gorman is fair enough too.  As for the rest they are much of a muchness, expect for Oliver Hearty, he is the Special One  

[pintsofguinness]

Ah Ollie Hearty, yon's a cheating **** if ever there was a cheating ****.

[Yes I Would]

Ollie used to be fond of being centre of attention when he first came onto the scene, havent seen much of him lately,think he maybe took up  role on County Board which maybe means less games.
Mc Kee is prob the pick in the county at the moment. The majority are a bunch of decent guys who give up their time and try and do a decent job for very little thanks, and then there is Quigley!!!
As a bridge man Pints surely you cant have seen this man in action too many times?? Sure he shouldnt be reffing yous in competitive games. He really is a vindictive git!!

I've seen him plenty of times and he's among the best.

Try watching him with your yellow and blue glasses off sometime and you mite see what everyone else does, or better still play in a game he is refereeing!!

I don't have any blue and yellow glasses on, I'm not saying he's perfect but he's among the top 4 or 5 in the county.

So I hear 'Cruppen won 5-16 to 1-4 last night in the U21 Championship. After their second successive massive triumph they must be odds on to win the championship. Good times to follow in the next few years for 'Cruppen methinks.

I doubt it, a good U21 run guarantees nothing.

Pints it does no harm now and again to act like a teenager On the ref issue, everyone on the board can't be wrong about Quigley. you're the only one backing up. P Hughes is a good ref and i don't mind him doing our games, he's a bit picky at times and can give soft frees but he does it for both sides and I've never had a problem with him. R robinson and B Gorman are fair enough refs as well as M Leonard who again like Hughes gives very soft free's but for both.

Thats all teams ask for as long as you do it fair and equal we would even let you do it Pints

[bennydorano]

Quigley is no worse than the rest of them, he has never actually come under my radar at all.  Big Sam would be the baine of our lives and maybe Hearty.

Ah pints my friend there you go adding bits to your argument when no one agreed with you. You see what you were trying to do was make the clans men out to be the big bad wolves in the hope that the other posters would back up the story and agree with you. I think you got the opposite response you were looking for. The majority of the folk think Quigley is a muppet. I agree with you that players should always respect refs no matter what decision he makes, bad or good. No player should verbally or physically abuse any ref . One of our lads verbally abused him and got the red after the game that he deserved, this was never in dispute. The dispute lies with the decisions he has made against our club in his last two outings. As a manager and player i cannot find any excuse for it only that he has some vendetta against us as a club or alternatively he is just a egotistical kind of guy who cannot referee. When a game is over a ref should get changed and if he so wishes come into the club house and mingle or he can just head on home. He should never walk into any changing room when a door is closed and he should never be handing out lectures on his life or any other issue (especially after heated exchanges on the pitch has been put under control). This is not part of his job. He is there to keep discipline on the field and ensure the rules are adhered to in the correct manner. He failed to do this at Davitt park on wed night and at Abbey park two sundays back.
Remind me again what club he is from I thought it was Silverbridge??? I also think you are from Silverbridge pints so perhaps, just maybe this is why you are giving him the benefit if the doubt. I like so many other posters simply cannot any longer. I have had my fill of him, i can no longer accept his ignorance and on many occassions misinterpretations of the rules (cheating) I think we will be taking a line from the Cross and telling the county board no thanks in the future.

Not sure whether I'm one of the "usual Cullyhanna posters" that's being talked about, but just to be clear that I'm not a "Cullyhanna poster" and that I agree that those who beat the Bridge lad up should be reported to the Gardai and hopefully get jail for what they've done. I would associate that sort of behaviour with the soccer thugs in England not GAA people in south Armagh. Hope the lad makes a full and speedy recovery.

barney henry - eire og, doesnt do much wrong. a good ref
