Do you not know the 11th commandment?

Though shalt not slag off referees in the vicinity of MR or you will face his wrath

For once and only once. I'll agree with MR2.. The county is crying out for refs so all help would be greatly appreciated I'm sure.

Coming on a public forum and questioning a man giving up his time and the mans fitness is not on, I don't know the poster that did, he hides behind the keyboard, he could probably do with a fitness test himself 

But to answer it, yes beep test is mandatory and rules test pass required for championship games

I've turned my hand to referring myself.  Always thought I could do a good job. But it's not that simple.  Some qualities that help a ref is being able to keep up with the play and being a hurler also.

If you were to implement the rules by the book the game would very quickly be a match of frees. The rules in hurling are mere guide lines per say and not supposed to be enforced every time. The trick is to make sure you give the players justice in the moment. Some times you can get lucky depending on the personality your dealing with.

Explaining to players why you made a decision is good for communication. I often tell players if they are getting too feisty the cards are coming out.

In most instances if you approach the game honestly try your best players appreciate that.

Sign up then & give it a lash. Some of us on here either did our bit, or are doing it. Not quite as easy when you're out in the middle as it looks when you're hanging over the fence. But, rather than sound off, contribute something.

[Na Glinntí Glasa]

everyone likes to moan about refs, its the standard excuse for the short fallings in your own team! lol

[Sweeper 123]
