Fair play to Johnny Murphy been years since a Limerick man reffed a championship game when was the last time?

I remember Terence Murray from my childhood days.

Edit: maybe teenage days.

Probably to calm the nerves

[Watchyourtoes]

Was thinking the same!

Pat was a good ref. Wasn’t fussy, let games flow as best he could.

Fair play to Chin or anyone else who dedicates themself to something they love doing. You’ve the usual shower of miserable worker drones telling him to get a job then, the begrudging cunts. Chin lacks a bit of guile in interviews but so what, it’s the thick begrudging miserable cunts giving out about him are the reason media are trying to draw this shit out of him, gets them all frothing at the mouth and talking about headlines. As usual, it’s stupid miserable cunts are the problem, and not Lee Chin.

All well and good Glas, but he doesn’t look any better than he did.

I expect Chinner is taking home around €6k per month from endorsements, which is reasonable enough. He’s not solely reliant on appearance fees from attending events like that one in Croke Park yesterday either.

I’m more of a Bebo man myself but I imagine he’s on monthly retainers from various companies for promoting their wares on other social media sites.

An aul tweet or instagram post with accompanying picture every week or two to say that those protein bars, training tops, energy drinks, suits and shirts, car, watch and so on are the very very very best ever.

Free clothing, food and transport although there’s a lot of resentment in Wexford town that Trinity Motors gave Chinner a lesser model of car this year than they did to a rubby player from Campile.

I know of a Waterford hurler of the naughties with several all stars, same thing, height of the boom not bothering his hole working, was in and out of jobs and had some very good opportunities for a fella with not much intelligence, head up his hole - finished his hurling now and last I heard he was a bin man - moral of the story for Chin is make hey and set yourself up in a career while your still relevant because in a few more years no one will give a fuck

There’s a reason GAA players are ten a penny in banks and as sales reps. Go repping while you are still playing and have the profile, build up the contacts, corner the GAA niche and ride the gravy train upon inter county retirement.

Friend of mine worked in a bank with an A-I winning captain. Fella was there purely for PR, didn’t do a tap. The A-I winner didn’t do much either…

[flattythehurdler]

It’s a bank ffs sake. In Ireland.
All you’d have to do is look vaguely interested from ten til twelve and then stand on the door turning folk away for half an hour because you’re shut for the day.

@carryharry

Johnny Ryan demoted to Christy Ring duties.

Cc @Elvis_Brandenberg_Kr !

Cathal McAllister dropped too. Johnny Murphy is a good communicator and generally decent ref overall, hope he gets a few games and does well.

As you say @carryharry it’s a fairly poor list overall. Cody will be pleased that Barry Kelly won’t be reffing games this summer.

Deo Grazie!

[Watchyourtoes]

Have RTE released the details of which games will be broadcast this year?

[Aristotle]

[Ashman]

Will Sky be showing provincial hurling ??
