om - what you think of the ref last night? honest critique

heard the ref was second choice. micky hughes was lined up but personal reasons took over he couldnt do it. another day, another ref will mean a different interpretation

The referee was first choice - Michael Hughes isn't doing championship games anymore.

The ref let a lot go on both sides. John Mc Conville's elbow could have been interpreted as a foul and free given to Omagh. But it wasn't - we scored the goal from that and it was probably the turning point in the game. Somebody mentioned that the lad has a broken nose - can anyone confirm ?.

I thought Joe in particular sailed close to the wind on a good few occasions.

The game wasn't dirty by any means - there were a few things alright that were punished by yellow cards.

Ardboe supporters around me would have been quite annoyed at the ref for about the first 45 minutes, Omagh seemingly getting more and softer frees.

But on balance I think the ref let it flow as much as possible and got most of the calls near enough. Has anyone got the overall free count ?.

I wouldn't like to dwell too much on the ref cos it wasn't a case that the ref was sore on Omagh and as a result lost them the match. Omagh contributed to their own downfall by not coming out in the second half at all. But for the goal at the start of the second half, they would barely have registered on the scoreboard.

To suggest that the ref favoured Ardboe is laughable. We rarely get any favours historically from refs and last night was no different.

I'm sure Omagh will be gutted but they felt that they had the game won a couple of times and I think they were happy wnough to defend the significant leads that they had built up which is a very dangerous game in modern day gaelic football.

Big game today! Really looking forward to it. I expect Dromore to try the physical stuff with our 'younger' team in the first 15 mins. Ref will have to watch for that.

There was a discussion last night after the match. One lad from Killyclogher said that Omagh have several players that didn't play for Omagh underage but now play seniors for them and basically said that they were poached from other clubs.


I thought that the players that he was referring to had either moved to Omagh or were well entitled to play for them.

Anybody shed any light on this ?

load of boll*cks orangeman.
only 1 player. the keeper played his underage football with drumquin but had lived in omagh throughout. now playing for the team where he lives.

Orangeman correct on the last statement in that the players are living in omagh / catchment

Ahem.

Keril Winters.
Hugh Gallagher.
Micheal Gallagher.
Conor Starrs.

The question was posed which players had not played underage. You will find these players did. Gallaghers playing since u14s & u16s.

om fair assessment. agreed in part we couldnt win enough ball to get into the scoring zone
omagh player as a result of mcconville's elbow suffered a broken nose

[healypark]

given how gutted we are still prefer the championship to be straight knockout
last night was on the edge from first to last whistle
will the backdoor proposal go through?

[healypark]

EC you trying to influence the ref already?

based on last night and the galbally / killyclogher game on Friday the ref will let everything go
can see a replay needed for this one. errigal's best chance is tonight.

No qualms about the result, overall i think that Arboe won the game using whatever means necessary and thats whats championship football is all about (think clonoe last year). maybe thats something that our boys, as a young enough team overall (with a few exceptions obviously) have to learn and hopefully it will never happen this team again. Yes, another ref may have been more picky and tougher on arboes indescretions but he wasnt, he was quite lenient and they definitely took more advantage of that than our fellas, so maybe thats our fault i dunno.

regarding poaching of playersthis is something that Killyclogher men always bring up with very little evidence to back it up. Out of the four players named, winters moved to omagh from drumquin so he is entitled to move clubs after moving parishes , the gallaghers moved at minor level and played underage for omagh at some level so cant really consider them as being 'poached'.

and mcguigan got busted after a heavy class with jason mcanulla which he came out worst in...nothing dirty wasnt even a free

[longrunsthefox]

Is not Drumragh the champions of poached players?...

Greencastle 0.10 Moortown 1.7 at full time.

[omagh_gael]

Greencastle 0.10 Moortown 1.7 at full time.

Any word of when then the replay will be?

[ziggysego]

Greencastle 0-10 Moortown 1-07 Full Time

Greencastle will be the happier team at the end of this, as we didn't start playing until the final 10mins.

Was chatting to Goals will Come at half time.
