Where do they get these refs from?
That was borderline disgraceful reffing. The free at the end was a joke. |

I'm still not the better of last years decision but the standard of refereeing is so below standard if you were to put it on par with the game it would be 2 levels below junior standard.

One of the very few times Dublin got the rub of the green ref wise. Ref gave some very very soft frees.

By:
joke of a decision. Big Leinster game ends on a bad note again like last year

AD......Looked like most of your players didn't get over last year yet.

but the referee was shocking. he must have had a good bet himself. |
|
By:

He didnt have a great game and the free at the end was very soft, however Orourke is going on and on about the first yellow that led to the red card, it wasnt for that foul per se but for persistant fouling.
What do they want? persistant fouling and the game gets ruined by cynical play or do you punish them and try and open up the game. Refs are human and can have bad games as well, comments like i hope he gets killed are distasteful in the extreme!! |

No big surprise. Refs have been favouring the 14 men for as long as I've watched football. One inter-county referee actually admitted he did a few years back.
Along with that Gaelic football is practically impossible to referee. In every championship match there are over 100 fouls (according to the definitions in the rulebook)but the refs are expected to "apply common sense" and to "let the game flow". Which in effect means "make it up as you go along". It's a complete joke. |

Spot on Ballaman.
Get all the pullers/draggers/maulers/mullockers on yellows in the first 15 mins is what I say. Then we might get to see some football. O Gara knew he was on a yellow when he committed that stupid(and deliberate) foul. He deserved his red 100%. I cannot fathom what O Rourke is on about. |

By:
worse than last years injustice ..the ref simply wasnt up to it..where do they get the refs from?have they a hat of names and just pull one out?...thats how it looks to me..
|

By:
Good job i'm not playing anymore ..would find it very hard to control myself ..training your nuts off all year and a " full of Himself " referee screw you just like that and you cant do anything about it....its only a matter of time before someone snaps and a refs jaw snaps shortly after....
|

By:
The Leinster Council & G.A.A cant be too happy with the ref....Would have been a full house for the replay.

30 Euro a head X 70,000 = Eur 2,100,000 ....a lot of dosh just to Make a name for yourself!

By:
Haven't seen the match but O'Gara absolutely walks into yellow cards
off the ball stuff, afters, backchat, clumsy fouls I don't think he could go through a match without picking up a yellow, so he's a huge candidate to get 2, unless he's subbed early |
|
By:
Cwc i have to agree with you .....Dublin management made a huge mistake, should have withdrawn O'Gara after his yellow......just seems the Dubs have a huge desire to throw away games....had a good bet in Spoils 13/8 on but haunted to collect....doh i lost a few years ova them,,,,,,,oh thanks ref....owe yah a point....

i was on the draw on the flipside but thats punting for you..the draw must have traded short on here...

By:
don't think I've seen that before from the GAA, ref avoiding a draw with a guaranteed full house, recession me arse

on the ref- obviously inexperienced, he should play a season of junior football before reffing again
|

By:
not gonna read the thread at this late hour but imho i struggled to see 5 lily indiscretions for dub frees , it was shocking

Kildare folk must snap out of this "referee done us wrong" mentality. To hold Dublin to 1-12 was excellent, but against 14 men they were four points down going into extra time and a great but freak goal threw them an undeserved lifeline.
Should beat Laois though and plenty to look forward to. Dublin must forget about O'Gara, put Connolly back at 14 and leave Fennell at midfield all the time. Defence looks sorted though Paul Brogan could be better than James McCarthy. It suits fine that everyone seems to think they were lucky, and while Wexford will certainly put it up to them, they should survive that too. |
