Lets be crystal clear on this, any championship game should have a ref with his umpires and two linesmen there to support him. It simply reflects and is poor administration.

We don't have them, its not difficult to understand, well it seems to be difficult but hey, sofa expert knows best

No one isn't understanding anything, we are simply saying you should have them but you come back with typical smart remarks as per usual, can you not agree on something for once.
Would you not prefer all the help you can get?

Go to Owenbeg on a Saturday evening to watch a Derry SFC game and you'll have the whole work 4th official and all.

Move to Derry then, they probably have more referee's ffs! There's stupid and then you

There was 4 games on Saturday FOUR!!!! If they cant provide linesman there's something seriously wrong.
Turning to personal insults when you don't know what else to say 

You are good at the insults, I can go over them with you if you want?

As to more help, course we'd all love to get that help, no one said any different, people give up their free time to do officiate games they are not employed to do this, they ain't here for you and others just to have a pop at and question their integrity like you did earlier, your beef with the county completely makes most of your posts redundant.

When you engage with a decent debate on something I'll happily respond in a better manner

People's opinions are wrong if they don't align with your own.

I've zero beef with the county board, You are quick to jump on peoples back talking about Ref's if its in anyway a negative manner, but yeah no comment or anything if they are praised.
We just said its abit strange having no lines man, and aw jesus we are the worst in the world.
What's a ref motto give respect get respect...

As I said and I'll repeat, you have thrown plenty of insults and question peoples integrity and ability, and you want me to give you respect? Honestly lad, wise up!

As for no beef with the county, go read back some of your posts. 

I'm responding to posts about ref's, should we just all stick the boot in and have no view point? My views though are not from a county board perspective, god knows I've had plenty to say about them over the years.

Out of interest, are there any rules in particular that seem to be commonly misunderstood by the players?

I think players need to know how to tackle better, I don't know if its poor coaching or deliberate coaching. Slapping and pulling the hand, players seem to think they have done no wrong.

Football is too personal, the macho stuff is cringy and the shouting and ganching when people take a score or miss is pure shite!

Watching the All Ireland yesterday and it is apparent that players, even at the level the pundits played at, don't know many of the rules.

Maurice Deegan corrected them quite a few times on things they assumed were correct only to be told that the rule is actually different.

[imtommygunn]

Philly McMahon was very poor on the rules.

what is the official ruling of the square ball now?

You couldn't make it up, the man who spends his time on here giving the establishment, rule makers and ref a hard time asking what the square ball rule is

Oisin McConville was also very poor on his rules, in previous games

If you have free time on your hands go through my posts there are as many posts praising refs as much as giving off one of them even being MR2 

Also got to make sure i know i am right when giving off

On the rules point, as a hurling follower, can someone explain how was the Kerry goal just before half time not a double bounce ? Does the fact that he didn't catch it again make the difference ?

[InnocentByStander]

Whats the craic with that u19 league seems to be a complete shambles going by the county website?

Is anyone surprised? There is no need for it

Watching it through the phone on Sunday wasn't clear to me that he doubled bounced the ball, haven't seen a better view on it to give my view (for what  its worth lol) but Deegan I think gave a decent response to it.

But there was no gurning from the Dubs on the pitch where it happened, that generally gives you a good idea

From what Deegan said, when he drops/bounces the ball for the second time because he then kicks it back up into his hand it doesn't count as a bounce and therefore goal was good.

Funniest bit was Murphy not really understanding that and think they meant the ball actually bounced into his foot rather than the turf.

[GiveItToTheShooters]

I'm content that the goal stood tbh as he did try to rectify it but I'm not sure where Deegan is reading that in the rules.
You aren't allowed to bounce the ball more than once consecutively. Geaney bounced it twice before kicking it up into his hands. By the actual rule he fouled the ball.

The second one wasn't a completed bounce because he didn't catch it. He realised halfway through the bounce that it would be a double bounce if he caught it so kicked it back up to himself. Just goes down as two separate possessions
