GAA Discussion / Things that annoy me about refereeing
July 16, 2007, 08:17:10 PM
I feel sorry for footballers who have to try and workout what type of referee will turn up Some refs are very sloppy and let all sorts go and then dig his heels in over some trivial offence The following list covers things which I find most annoying
1. refs allowing players to take frees from the wrong place - I mean where the player starts his run from where the foul occurred and eventually kicks the ball from in front of the posts.For frees about 45/50 metres out a couple of metre stolen is crucial The position of the kicking is not so important for a free out of defence
2 Throw passes - it is not possible to make a hand pass with ONE hand In my view at least a quarter of passes are throws
3. Square balls are only given when a 45 is taken - because the ref is up with the play. Why dont umpires advise the ref
4. Forwards constantly get frees even though they have grabbed the defender - we saw it yesterday in the Tyrone/Monaghan match. Everyone (apart from refs) knows this is happening but week after week we see the frees given and defenders booked. Could umpires and linesmen(as in soccer) not advise the ref. At present the only time linesmen intervene is to identify a player who strikes
