Roscommon; ref probably gave his a bad price for ewes or something

[dodgy_keeper]

If you’ve a linesman there he could at least shout at him to get off the pitch.

Then again, that fella was probably never going to be stopped there from acting the maggot.

Did that club from Galway who chased the ref after the Connacht club championship match last year or the year before face any sanctions? I think that game was in Hyde Park, the ref was Jerome Henry of Mayo AFAIK.

The game was a draw when he didn’t call for a late mark for a free in. The other crowd went up the field and grabbed the winner. Poor ref was jostled, man handled and verbally abused as he was chased by players and mentors at full time. Appalling conduct. I think four or five players got 12 month bans etc.

Club should have been banned from adult level for a year.

Mountbellew were absolutely screwed against Padraig Pearses in a similar way to how Louth were screwed against Meath.

If a referee forgot the mark was in existence - a rule that isn’t hard to understand, yet it’s far from unknown for referees to forget the existence of the mark - it goes to show how totally ridiculous and unworkable Joe Brolly’s proposed rule changes are.

Imagine lads running the line at under 16 level adjudicating on whether the star forward of their own club is being double marked.

A good example in that video too of the insufferable sorts on the sideline with the “do they want to put a saddle on him ref” comments. There is fierce competition in some clubs between loudmouths to see who can make the smartest comment on the sideline.

I’m fierce fond of when a corner back does the first tackle in the opening 5 minutes to shout out “he’s at it all fucking day ref”. I’m fierce funny like that.

His name is Walsh and the club are St. Aidan’s, apparently.

Psycho Walsh?

Psycho was kicking spinners for Ballylinan last night in the Laois SFC Relegation Final. Psycho kept Ballylinan up last year with a last minute goal. Ballylinan were level with Killeshin with 10 minutes to go last night when Killeshin got a goal. The resultant kick out was intercepted, Killeshin were clane through, when a corner back arrived out of nowhere, tangled with the forward, and both went to ground. Penalty given. Corner back in awful pain. Turned out a broken leg. 40 mins waiting for an ambulance. By the time it arrived and corner back was loaded up, there was an hour gone. Ballylinan went into the dressing rooms after half an hour, and didnt return. Sent out the management to say they wouldnt be coming back due to the trauma and the delay.

Match abandoned.

Often find that trouble tends to occur most often at matches involving youngsters and lower adult level, when the ref is there on his own and doesn’t have linesmen or umpires to give him a hand.

I’d say it’s nothing to do with the ref being on his own, he is an isolated figure in all games. The issue is at adult level there may be a small amount of competition for the management role, but at underage it’s a matter of who will take the job. That’s why you end up with lads who call themselves Psycho being on the line - it’s for clubs to put an end to that.

Aye, its a cop out to say the referee needs umpires or linesmen to protect him. Grown ups need to act accordingly. Also clubs should vet who they have on the line in such games. It wont always weed out the dangerous lads, but generally a fella called psycho should be a red flag.

One they accepted gratefully. Second time in two matches they lost a lad to an ambulance. Last time it was intercounty footballer Alan Farrell who snapped his achilles two weeks ago.

[peddlerscross]

Were there any proper suspensions handed out to Mountbellew that time?

I thought Barry McHugh and few more were getting banned but I’m not sure anything came of it.

[tazdedub]

@Declan_Moffat

Agree. None of those lads knew their manager was going to do that. As @Julio_Geordio says it looked pre meditated. Big fine for the club

Fucker should be banned from all sports. Had to have been planned, he did it 30 seconds into the game.

The Difference in respect for refs in gaa and underage rugby is crazy.

Start at under 8s. Anybody looks funny at a ref send them off.

They’ll learn quickly.

Even in soccer from my experience lately. Having coached/managed hurling/camogie teams for 24 years or so, I had been no angel when it came to refs. This year my young lad joined the local soccer club and the manager of the u18s asked me to join him as a coach. You dare not open your mouth or you risk the forfeiting the game and thats a nice howdo to go home with. Monday evening we had 2 lads sent off, first was 2 yellows, the 2nd a straight red. I couldn’t peep. The kid was sent to the dressing rooms. When the ref saw him amongst the subs 10 mins later he stopped the game, informed us he was leaving the pitch unless the lad went to the dressing room.

[BruidheanChaorthainn]

Great to hear. It’s the only way.

[maurice_brown]

You’re right I agree. We still won 2 nil. 9 v 10 for a finish. Yaaaay
