A much bigger gig than the Sunday Game.
He’s a great referee on the club scene tbf.
He’ll do underage or adult games, hurling or football.
Has common sense and takes no shit.
I thought he was refusing to ref certain club games?
Is his young fella on the U20 panel?
He is
GK
Was in goal for Minors last year
North games as a card he awarded was made go away
Heard he’s done at club level too.
Just the box office challenge match circuit left so.
Is he involved in coaching a few teams?
That was resolved.
Overall though he’s made a lot of enemies by his behaviour on the sideline at games involving his sons so he wouldnt be anywhere near as popular as he was 5 or 6 years ago.
I never understood his dislike of Waterford. He was very hard on them in 2017 and that throw in he gave straight to Niall Burke or maybe it was Jason Flynn at a very crucial moment was simply incredible.
He’s a very lively presence on the sideline alright.
He’s a loose cannon alright
He only did Doon v Mount Sion 2 weeks ago.
That time he was dragged all the way to Portlaoise for Cuala v Na Piarsaigh last September was iconic.
Even doing local Junior B Challenges, he brings that “big game feel” to proceedings.
He did a Drom vs Golden Junior B challenge I attended around 5 years ago on a squally Friday evening.
Bills, bills need paying
The Box Office Challenge Match circuit is a very lucrative one for officials. They get paid on the day there and can name their fee, while for mickey mouse competitions, they get a flat rate and only get paid at Christmas.
The Big House will have to make a few phone calls to get this sorted.
