Suitability of referees for the quarter finals and beyond

carol6 · July 27, 2009, 11:41:41 PM

After watching the games at the weekend and listening to the views expressed by many GAA patrons regarding the standard and consistency of refereeing, what should we be looking for from the officials this weekend ?
Also (a) which ref would you like to have to referee your game this weekend ?
(b) which ref would you least like to see officiating at your game this weekend ?

Mc Enaney will get Dublin v Kerry.

Because we re not playing I d like to see the Duffy brothers referee all the games.

And the next time I hear McEneaney being canonised on the telly the remote will go through the telly. I ll make sure I m watching on the older tv in the living room. He got one big call wrong and nothing he ever does will right that wrong. When he eventually goes before the great whistle- blower in the sky he ll have some job explaining that one.

The Dubs will be delighted if Mc Enaney is reffing. Sure he gave them a few handy ones last day out.

In fairness to Pat he gets most of them right. It's not an easy job. I wonder will they wheel out the usual suspects this weekend like Mr Bannon and Mr Kinneavey or will they finally give youth a chance?

Don't really care providing the names Hughes, Duffy, Bannon or Kinneavy aren't mentioned in relation to the Tyrone match

carol6 · July 28, 2009, 12:11:04 AM

Well I dont want to alrm you Tyrone86 but I have a feeling you could well see your friend Mr Kinneavy striding out on Sunday to officiate at your game. I am not a betting man usually but I would put money on this one

Apparently Gearoid O'Connamha is doing the Tyrone v Kildare game !

Away and shite. Once in a championship is bad luck, but twice? Someone upstairs is looking to put manners on us I fear.

Honestly - he's the man !

Bowel movement completed: situation remains the same and Maurice Deegan will take charge of Cork V Donegal. Hope I havent spoiled your night Tyrone86

Enjoy. And perhaps the chuckle brothers as linesmen.

Don't laugh too soon, you could get one of the other 3 I mentioned.

I was nt laughing. They re beyond a joke. We ve already had Bannon this year. Merciful God. Cant get Gerry from Gaillimh or Marty from Enniscrone I think and hope.

Hughes was around for a league match earlier. Dont remember him being as bad as the advance health warnings about the lad. Then again it was Feb and who was paying attention?

Neither Duffy nor Kinneavey should be let anywhere near top level games.

That said, I think Pat McEneaney would have to do every game. There isnt much choice out there.
