Quote from: balladmaker on July 18, 2024, 02:00:05 PMSeriously have to question the judgement in selecting Sean Hurson for the final after his performance the last day he reff'ed the game in Sligo. 

Irrespective of the last day, surely a ref. from a neighbouring county of a competing county is questionable.  Are there no suitable refs in Leinster or Munster!

Can you imagine being a referee and fans giving off about you before you step foot on the pitch. He is a referee he will make mistakes, it will happen pretty much all of the time, it is something we have to accept.

Armagh people annoyed that a Tyrone heure will throw the game against then.

Galway people annoyed that the Tyrone heure will help out his fellow Ulstermen.

In the end up, he will be completely fine.

Good ref is Hurson, no soft frees like Gough and has no notion in being the centre of attention

If we win, he'll be the best ref. ever.  Still hold a special place in my heart for John Bannon  :)

On the hunt for a ticket if anyone can help a man out.

Been to 6 Armagh games this year and not likely to get a ticket through my club

It is a referee both teams are familiar with. No doubt he would have watched the Armagh and Galway game again and identified areas he could perform better in. He already has a difficult job and ultimately how he referees the game is a reflection on him.

Armagh have a lot to improve on - there are several aspects of their performance that were actually below par.

Quote from: Cortoon on July 18, 2024, 10:27:58 AMEarlier this year, Galway had Armagh bet and were comfortable until Gleeson had a bit of a wobble. It was clear that day that Galway managed to dismantle Armagh's defensive set up more effectively than they did with ours.

Galway were comfortable in the 2022 1/4 Final as well and only ended up going through on pens, so maybe a bit of a pattern there with Armagh.

The exact opposite of this is more accurate

can mind a Cork Referee doing the 1986 All-Ireland Final so this kind of thing is nothing new.

I don't know why the GAA picks referees in this kind of manner as regardless of  their performance it leaves the referee open to easy criticism which makes an already hard job already harder.

That said Hurson's role in over turning a free kick when linesman in the Ulster semi final as well as his performance in the match between the two teams in the group stages ought to have excluded him on merit.

Advantage Armagh now. It's madness to pick a ref from the same province.
Especially Ulster where they make a deal about supporting each other out of the province.

Yes. They make a big point of emphasise how the big rivalry is put aside when they go down to play teams from the South.
