Poor refereeing according to the Crues boss !!

well surely tomorrow evenings newsline will be headlined by " Day of shame as 5 are sent off" - Oh no sorry, this isnt a gaelic match, so it will hardly be mentioned. My mistake

From the highlights the only piece of poor refereeing was when he didnt allow the cliftonville player to get back up before sending him off.

That wild hip-high lunge that connected near the end never warranted a red imo.

At the risk of sounding like Fearon, I think there'd be a hell of a lot more made about this if it had been cliftonville behaved like crusaders did.

Baxter is full of shit as well - listening to it here, and hes disputing the first penalty and sendings off, he must have been watching a different game.
The first penalty was a gaelic style block, and all the sendings off were justified. The only one I thought a little harsh was the cliftonvlle one, and even then, only a little harsh.

Why are youse getting worked up about what is basically Saturday morning football.

Tony Baloney · December 27, 2009, 08:45:11 PM

C'mon Minder there are better players than that every Saturday in Mallusk.

The 5 red cards evened up the numbers between players on the pitch and spectators in the stands.

Crusaders (who draw core support from unionist paramilitary heartlands such as Mount Vernon and Rathcoole) meet N Belfast rivals Cliftonville (perceived as fenian club) cue re enactment of Battle of Boyne.Just another day in Irish League Football

Any skirmish in a GAA game usually runs for about 3 days, headlines everywhere, Sinn Fein/IRA started it, Peter Robinson getting interviewed about his thoughts on the GAA...UTV and BBC can go and f**k themselves, Christmas Cracker my ass Jackie...
