Just on referees I think fans get frustrated with the inconsistencies, every referee is different and interrupts the game differently. You could go watch your club on a Sunday afternoon and Wednesday night and the game is completely different because of the man in the middle. Some referee's like free flowing games with big hits and let it go and some don't like any contact at all and are whistle happy.

What you see and what the referee sees are completely different, the interpretation of the rules by the referee is down to him/her with the whistle, there is no referee the same, that goes for every sport that has a referee looking after it. The players play within the rules and there will be no interruptions.

If me and you sat down and did the rules test how well would you fare?

I assume you are a ref and see how you lean towards supporting refs.
But doesn't mean they are always right.

For example I remember the Antrim GAA twitter posting a video of a spectacular hit in the SFC SF two years and somehow the ref saw it as free kick.

Yes I see where your coming from, but certainly doesn't mean they always get it right.

You're trying too hard but making yourself look like a twat ;D

Probably as well as any referee and what an extremely arrogant response just because you are the man in the middle doesnt mean you know more

When you played, you never had a favourite ref? I'd plenty ref's football/ hurling that were good guys and very well respected.

Probably young ones now feel they can use the ref as an excuse for their own performances. Kids are strange nowadays

So you did have a popular ref?

I'm managed senior and there was plenty ref's that I'd prefer and there are some I like when watching my club. But you've got to worry about your teams performance first before using ref's as a scapegoat

I think it would be better if refs were ALLOWED to ref the games themselves. Every game I'm at now, juvenile or adult,  everyone wants to ref it. Players  coaches, fans, it's relentless
Toooooo long, after about 2 steps seems to be the popular one
Tell me this, can a ref tell a player to shut the f**k up move on

Yes, but then he's being disrespectful. Every tackle is not a foul is what I usually say, hand on the back is also not a foul (a push is)  ;). Not tackling the ball is a foul too, so the slaps open or closed (closed fist is a card if not connecting with ball)

We stayed up which is an obvious positive, but all things considered a poor league campaign came to an end today and how anyone can argue any different I don't know.
Enviously looking at Fermanagh and Louths recent progress, maybe our turn next season?

Poor league campaign by Antrim.

Any different from last year's league?
