What?

Fuck off with this shit.

carryharry, what’s up, the cat got your tongue?

Yes. But my fingers are fine. Thanks for asking.

@Gemma

Frank & Beans or Grand Canyon?

Marty Duffy is refereeing the Munster Final! :eek:

Offaly are adopting a different tactic for their game against Tyrone, they’ve called up four of the hurlers, including Shane Dooley. Granted Dooley is a quality footballer, but its an odd approach you’d have to say. Ryan, Mahon and Currams are the others answering the call.

Ollie Baker will be happy the lads are kept busy for the summer.

Is the summer over this weekend? Getting shorter and shorter.

Suppose its better than fucking of to the States like some other players from another county. :slight_smile:

Are you for fucking real? It’s akin to urinating on the grave of James Connolly, pissing all over a National treasure.

This would seriously make one consider even watching, and certainly lumping alot of money in Kerry. Not because they are Kerry so much, as they are the home team.

He is a dreadful ref, with a dreadful personality on the field.

Both of the Duffys are horrible creatures. What you need down there is a Kinsella or a Deegan.

Fuck off with Deegan, he is as bad.

Refereeing is without doubt, the biggest problem in Gaelic Football.

there is a lot of shit referees out there but in fairness to them it is hard to referee a sport that has no defined tackle…

To be fair, you did rate McEneaney very highly so its hard to take that serious.

Joe McQuillan can’t ref every game, lads.

There is a defined tackle but people choose to ignore it. If referees were to call every foul in Gaelic Football there’d be outrage. The 4 step rule is another one that is rarely enforced.

I think if they refereed by the book for a while the game would be a whole lot better.

+100

That the erroneous notion that there is no tackle in Gaelic football has gained such currency shows up the poor media analysis of the game.

Ya, rated him the best of a bad lot at one stage.

Deegan was a disgrace last year. Just co you may know him does not mean you can’t be analytically critical of him.

The problem with refereeing is one, no money in it, two they have an insular “us against the world” attitude between themselves. Even the way they coach refereeing encourages controversy and a lack of common sense.

The fact that alot of them at local level don’t even know the rules makes it a complete joke. They are a total embarrassment.

Let’s make a list of good Gaelic football referees, past and present.

Tommy Sugrue
Pat McEnaney
Joe McQuillan
