Yeah, a football match will become irrelevant if things develop the way it's looking! ?A fixture which should be a walk over will no doubt me made hard. Away record since the break has been abysmal. Keep saying right we need to start now. Starting to feel like them last year. Be calling for null and void shortly due to the Ukraine Russia situation
I was never a ref but regularly was an umpire when my daughter was playing camogie- female version of hurling.
In the 00s no one was getting a win at Celtic Park. Juventus, Ac Milan, United Bayern Etc sent packing. Was a place teams dreaded going
Seen it from a coaches and parents point of view with my boys teams over the years, eventually started to see it from the refs view after watching them getting dogs abuse from all and sundry every week, so mostly!! (even when they were bad) I would give them some slack as it is impossible to get every call correct obv. Nearest I got to it was reffing some of our younger age games(at 5 and 7 aside) when coaches took a half each, even that was a nightmare!!I was never a ref but regularly was an umpire when my daughter was playing camogie- female version of hurling.
Incredible speed at which it is played made it really difficult to be certain about making decisions. No matter what you decide you will have half the crowd complaining
No VAR either
One game when she was about 17, I had to run on to separate one of our coaches from hitting the ref. The ref threatened to abandon the match and give the opposition a walkover.
Yeah as the kids got older things would get a bit more physical on the pitch, but also off it, with parents shouting and bawling at each other!! Remember a cup game (think it was in Coatbridge) boys were about 15 yrs old, game was wild and ref had lost control of it, parents from both sides screaming at each other and both at the Ref!! Anyway the boys were being coaxed by some parents to let's say"get stuck right intae them! " so tackles flying in everywhere and off the ball things kicking off, game was 1-1 with a couple of mins to go, we get a free kick and in the ensuing melee in the penalty box we somehow manage to scrammle the ball over the line, ref gives goal and then almost immediately blows for full time!!
In my experience with camogie, the most vicious were the mothers. Absolutely vicious to the girls playing for the opposition and officials.... including me as an Umpire.
It gives me no pleasure to agree mate.In the 00s no one was getting a win at Celtic Park. Juventus, Ac Milan, United Bayern Etc sent packing. Was a place teams dreaded going
Nowadays could go down your local and get 11 pissheads and they'd probably take the 3 points from there
95th winner for Derry City. That the result you where hoping for?
Do you want to ruin a positive relationship so early?
See my other posts.
I've never seen eleven men run so fast for the tunnel at half-time.In the 00s no one was getting a win at Celtic Park. Juventus, Ac Milan, United Bayern Etc sent packing. Was a place teams dreaded going

ah sorry mate was being lazy should of checked.Do you want to ruin a positive relationship so early?
We were terrible first half, much better second half and wtf Perez was doing with that pass I will never know. Always going to be a difficult venue but we handed it to them. They did SFA the whole 2nd half.
Hoping for 3 in a row, but we need to get into gear quickly. Tonight was not good enough
This is not a school or a place of work now, so i don't think it's appropriate for ypu to dictate when people should post. I will say what i have to say, whenever i wish.
