Best Antrim club team I've seen since 2012. They play great attacking hurling. I hope they set/lift the standard across the board.

Having done it myself in the past, at least the guys in the middle have the balls to put themselves forward to referee games. Also, having been involved in assessing referees, county finals are usually given out considering a number of factors, including a recent positive assessment.

For starters his umpires were closer. And at worst he'd have been 40/50 yards from the edge of square, you are outside the perimeter of the fence and unless you were standing behind the net, still further than the umpires the is say you were further away. But sure you should try refereeing as you'd be top notch

So he was closer than you and made a decision, what's your problem then?

All the umpires and lines men are hooked up to mica and the ref talks the whole time.... 7 sets of eyes watching the game, not a lot being missed I'd say. As for the distance on square balls I'd say he was a lot closer than you but you're able to call it.

I've played along with, against and have been reffed by skinny and the one thing he ain't is arrogant. I'd go as far as saying he's the best ref we've had since Tommy McIntyre.
Well done to both Gort and The Paddies.

Dryer day Sarsfields would have been well out of sight, speed and passing was something else. Carey goal keeper kept us in it. Cunning gave a few soft frees and was a bit card happy. Square ball calls disallowing two goals where debatable in my opinion.
Glenarm kept going for goals, could have won in the last few minutes.

Carey took some beating from St Johns and get relegated after Randlestown's comeback against Armoy. Was anyone at the St Johns v Carey game? Did they rest players for next week? Taking a beating like that just before championship final surely can't be good for them. Sarsfields maybe favourites going into it.
There was a 6 minute delay at the very end of the Armoy game while the referee decided if a shot was wide or a point. After ignoring advice to go with the near umpire and stating himself that "my instinct was it was wide" he in very peculiar circumstances gave a point. This was one of 3 bizarre incidents from him in the last 4 minutes. If I were a Carey member I'd be absolutely furious.....it relegated them after Armoy leading the entire game......I've never seen anything like it.
Surely how you perform over the season decides whether out not you are relegated? Didn't realise that the last game is winner takes all.. why play all those games? Just play one
The officiating from the referee was shocking was my point. Taking 6 minutes to decide if a score was or wasn't .....I've never seen anything like it!! You're right about the results over the course of a season. However if Carey people had witnessed the last few minutes they'd have been bewildered.
Granted on the time of deciding the score, from my own experience using home and away umpires is difficult and in tight games I try my level best to get behind the ball and call it myself, for a lot of scores it's impossible but you try your best.
I've overruled many an umpire basing it purely on my positioning, I explain it and move on . I speak to the umpires at half time or at the end and explain, very difficult to not give your team a dodgy point!
I've even had grounds where they have changed scores on the board !

Dunloy v Ballycastle. I hate to say I told you so but...
On a scoreline like that they will be hard enough to for tomorrow's winners
