That man should never be able to ref a clans game again.

Sure clans would have no one allowed to ref their games if that approach was taken.

you would know alot about it pints- you fool

Good win for Tir Na Nog at Carrickcruppen yesterday, (always a dfifficult ground)and the 3 points margin flattered Carrickcruppen as The Ogs were 6 clear with only a couple of minutes to go and the referee payed ast least 5 minutes overtime to ty and get Cruppen a goal

It was also good to see The Right Honourable Conor Murphy MP in attendance with jeans, trainer and bicycle which he kept a firm grip on, in case it was nicked presumably

Clans drew with the harps today. a disgraceful refereeing performance by ronan quigley. Over ruled the harps and clans umpire twice giving the harps a point on both occassions when the ball was clearly wide. He then continued to give the harps scorable free kicks when they were clearly 50 /50 challenges. The clans had enough possesion in the first half to win by 10 points but didn't take their chances but the second half refereeing was absolutely disgraceful. This has to stop referees are robbing teams of results for i don't know what reason. That man should never be able to ref a clans game again. Even the harps lads were laughing at some of the decisions he was making. If we had refs like that on our side we would win the all Ireland.

Must have been at a different game than you.  Thought the ref was poor for us as well.  Notice you didn't mention him overruling the umpire when a Harps goal was disallowed, Jim MCKerr was acting the maggot as umpire and you've some neck claiming 2 pts were 'wide' with that clown 'umpiring'.

Harps were brutal in the first,gifted Clans a goal with poor defending, Clans did miss a bagful.  Harps played excellent in the second and had more than enough chances to win the game clearly, clans got up the field about 3 times in the 2nd half and got 3 points.

Benny i don't know what you are smoking son but if you could share it with the rest of us we would be grateful. Jim Mc Kerr was only umpiring at one end when the ref over ruled a wide he gave which was wide. The other two umpires at the top end gave a wide and he over ruled  both of them on two occassions giving points. The harps did  have a lot more possession in the second half but all your scores came from free kicks. I would say maybe one or two of them were legit. When a defender clearly goes up and punches the ball out it can't be a free in. Plus he gave a free againt Marsden on the harps 21 for laying the ball of and going for a return, the harps guy took him out of the game and the free out was given  That was comical. He also gave another free against marsden for lifting it of the ground which he did. The free was taken and the harps players clearly lifted it of the ground and got another scorable free in. The goal was not over te line and this is why is wasn't given the harps umpire gave it only after the harps no 15 goaded him into it by shouting at him and threatening our other umpire. Granted Quigley then began to give a few sloopy frees to the clans but they were no were near the scoring distance. Again an absolute disgrace. Oh and pints you can keep your wee snide comments to yourself, the clans have no problem with any ref if they do the game correctly. Even if a ref is bad we have no problem aslong as he is equally as bad for both sides. It is no coincidence that this guys name keeps appearing as a pudding.

That man should never be able to ref a clans game again.

other clubs have the same opinion. i think cross underage teams make a point of not playing if mr quigley is due to referee any of their games because the result is a foregone conclusion. not 100% but i thought i heard that the cross minors left the field once quigley arrived last monday night to referee a game. he's an awful man!

I can understand why. An absolute disgrace of a performance. He basically decided that he wasnt allowing the Clans to win that game. To their credit they snatched a draw. What annoyed me most is that he ruined a very open and enjoyable game on a lovely day for football.

[Candyman]

in all honesty do you not think the Harps had every opportunity to win it in the 2nd half??? think you's only got 2/3 scores in that period?

[illdecide]

I have to comment here. I think Quigly was pathetic yesterday and it's nothing to with the Harps, he was so bad it wasn't funny. He blew clans up twice for lifting of the ground (fair enough) but the Harps done it as well straight after and were not blew up for it and they got Pt's from it. Now Mr Quigly realised his errors and quickly awarded frees to the Clans that clearly were not free kicks. The 1 Winsam was talking about Marsden was attacking in full flow he fisted the ball over a C Vernon's head and went to run on for the 1-2 he was obstructed by Vernon and Marsden got booked for it and a free to the Harps (explain that 1).

Harps were winning by a point in injury time and Quigly gave a free to the Clans to equalise that never was a free, IMHO i believe this clown goes out to be the centre of attention in the games he does and thats not right just let the 2 teams get on with it and do the thing 50/50. I am in know way taking anything away from the Harps as they def put in a better 2nd half display and they also got decisions against them that were wrong including the equalising point at the death.

the problem with some of theses ref's are they so arrogant and try to talk down to you. If a guy spoke to me out in the street they way some ref's speak to you on the pitch I'd knock their block off.

P.S. i know he had to listen to some fools on the line but that should not make any difference to his decisions as a foul is a free no matter what is shouted from the sidelines or crowds...

[Scarface]

That is an honest enough assessment of the match there ILLDECIDE. Clans were best in 1st half - Harps best in 2nd. Few mysterious decisions from ref alright. Maybe we should just say that a draw was a fair result.

[full back]

There is no point in trying to defend RG, pints.
Illdecide got it right when he said he is a clown (although that is putting it a bit mild)
He talks down to everyone & indeed has to be the centre of attention
Its not the first time someone has mentioned him on the board - everyone cant be wrong

[gaapunter]

in all honesty do you not think the Harps had every opportunity to win it in the 2nd half??? think you's only got 2/3 scores in that period?

I was at that Harps Clans Match and to be honest the Harps are a very poor team- in fact i do think the worst in division 1 and will struggle to stay there and the lads are right i have never seen a worst refeering disply in all my days

[IVEDECIDED]

I agree with most of whats being said and indeed the fact that the Clans only had a few attacks in the second period but answer me this lads - how many scores did the Harps get from play in the match? Id say 1 or 2. Given this fact how many of their scores came from dubious decisions? I dont think a draw was a fair reslut I think Clans were value for the win because although yer man Quigley was poor for both teams the majority of bad decisions were against the Clans and in scorable positions.

[gander]

Any word what happened in the Middletown match?  Heard it was abondoned near the end for fighting!

[bennydorano]

The Clans position is done no favours by the fact that idiots (illdecide aside) represent them on here.
