Armagh Club football & hurling

[Off The Fence]

Wasn't at the game, so I can't comment on the specific incidents referred to.

What I will say is that I hate to see fellow Armagh Gaels come in for personal abuse on this public forum. It is well out of order.

As for others encouraging the ref to jack it in, or stating that he is not fit for the job, a word to the wise - we are not exactly coming down with referees in the County! And with discussions like this, that is not likely to change anyway soon! 

So nobody is allowed to comment on an absolute p***k who thinks he is god gift.  The list on Quigley is as long as your and I'd nearly rather see a game not played than refereed by this idiot.

[IVEDECIDED]

Yes Rufus but thats the point referees know this and they use it to thier advantage, they think they are untouchable. ive stated before that referees inArmagh have too much status and power they are not held accountable for their actions which is why they can do whatever they like. the 2 teams should decide the outcome of a match not some t**t in the middle with a hot poker up his ass because he has 60 mins of authority every week.

[IVEDECIDED]

I also agree with this criticism of Quigly specifically - he is an absolute menace to this sport. A complete idiot!!

[fitzroyalty]

As for the ref bringing things up from other games, I dont think he should but then I don't really see the big deal.  You say he hates your club but he had yous ahead at half time when you say you werent? Yes, real hatred there.

Sheer incompetence on his behalf maybe? FFS he had the scoreboard turned off at half time because it displayed the correct score, insulting everyone else's intellegence in the process

Everyone knows without refs we'd have no games. You'd really need to have been at the game on Sunday to appreciate how big a tube Quigley is. At the very least he should not officiate any Clan na Gael games in future.

How did he get the scoreboard turned off at half time??

He pulled out the plug- I have never seen a worse refeering performance- hes the ETU's wet dream

[curvey]

Ronan Quigley is a fool and every club (except Silverbridge) seem to have some sort of issue with this man, surly that proves something? He always seems to be on a power trip and it's "He" who has to be centre of attention and not the players on the pitch.

We def need more ref's in Armagh as there is a shortage alright but we could be doing without guys like him. It's a pity he doesn't read the board and do himself a favour or he could read this and tell himself to wise up and get the chip off his shoulder and start doing matches as a neutral instead of starting a game already having his mind made up about certain teams or individuals

[pintsofguinness]

How do you know he doesnt read the board?

[curvey]

How do you know he doesnt read the board?

Well if he did he'd have wised up by now and realised how everyone feels about him.

Unless he's one of the MOD's

Well it's not how everyone feels about him...

Know a few boys from the bridge, who would hold the same opinion as most on here, and reckon they are more than lucky that he never gets the chance to referee them.. Says it all!!

Excellent planning by the CB to fix the club games around the same time as the quarter final of the senior c'ship between the 2 favourites

[illdecide]

That is pretty sh1t alright but i'll get to see the match so it's not much of a problem but for the rest of you guys that have a game it's bad organising alright.

I see Mr Quigley is making the headlines again what else do you expect from that tube

tir na og failed to show up for their game v granemore , ref was on the pitch .
thats no game for granemore since they played dromintee in the championship , since that game granemore have lost their corner back [ discolated shoulder ] and full back [ broken leg ]
not looking good for us with the game v st pats next week  .

This was probably due to the death of our manager's mother at the weekend. It would appear that no one informed Granemore, etc.
