Home to St.Comgalls this Saturday. They will be looking for revenge for the defeat 4 weeks ago from us but hopefully we'll battle again and get the 3 points. If so it'll be the perfect way to start my 21st ;D

They had 2 men sent off for "slabbering", they took offence to this and walked off the pitch and back down to changing rooms. Surely they in for a big fine I'd say....

Sounds like they really threw the toys out the pram!
What was the score when they walked off? Was there long left to go in the match?

The Ref was a total joke. As far as I know our officials are taking this to the IFA with regards to the referee.
He never booked our players for slabbering. He booked them for being confrontational.
Infact he booked 7 and sent off 2.
One was our captain who asked him why he gave our left back a yellow card. As team captain surely you have the right to question the referee or ask him to explain a decision he makes.
To put things into perspective, our left back went to take a throw in, because of the conditions the ball slipped out of his hand and never went into play so he had to retake it, he shouted f**k sake because of the f**k up he made. The ref booked our left back for swearing at him. He also booked another player in our team for shouting over at our manager why are we playing this game the pitch is unplayable someone will get injured or hurt.
Unreasonable is not the word. The decisions were far beyond blantent cheating.
It was nil nil at the time. We should have had 2 pens and were really on top of the game. The decision to walk off was due to the conditions of the pitch. Conor seemed keen to play the match due to having this referee and with having certain higher league players playing for them. Against anyother team this match would never have gone ahead.
There is several other things that happened and will be reported to the league, but we will not go into that at the minute. But one of our club officials reckons Conor might not be getting any points either!

Mower your right about that pitch mate and I dont know who the ref was but going by your report I can have a fair stab at it. We are all accountable to the leagues etc but refs are a law upon themselves. I know refs are hard to get and we have been very very fortunate that we have had only 2 games without a ref this season but really some of the decisions they give are horrific and someone is gona get hurt big time if they cant take control of games.
As a manager I cant even ask the ref what he booked a player for instead I was told read the report.

The game should never have been played in the first place, thats true.
And the ref wasn't good at all, he was awful, but he didn't deserve some of the stuff that was being said to him. I believe, and if i'm wrong i'll apologise, he has put in his report about the sectarian abuse he was on the receiving end of. Your captain also threatened to hit him several times and had to be pulled back by 2 or 3 of your players.
Both teams had to play on the pitch, and having had the referee on a number of occasions this season we've learned not to open our mouths to him because as he tells both teams at the start of the game if you do you'll be booked.

Sounds like the ref we had in a game against Woodside a couple of weeks ago. Doesn't allow you to speak at all. Probably only about 30, dark hair and a real chip on his shoulder. Seemed quite pally with the Woodside lads at half time. Thankfully we scraped a 2-1 victory despite some crazy decisions.

Have a fair idea who the ref is now, was in charge of us (glencloy) v woodside in the cup at start of season, seemed quite pally with them. Sent 3 of our boys off, 1st boy asked why a foul had been given against him, straight red. next time our captain spoke to the ref about a foul, another straight red. 3rd was an x-rated leg breaker of a challenge from one of the woodside boys, our player reacted raised his hands & probably deservedly was sent off, but not a word said to woodside player & even more strange was the decision to award Woodside a free-kick from the tackle. We again had this guy away to connor in the next round of cup. Although he was again poor the decisions were even for & against each team. |

I think the Ref who did our (Woodside) game against Blackstone was the same one who did us at Connor. He gave us nothing out there and I dont remember him giving us much against Blackstone either. We had a man sent off after 5 minutes on Saturday for calling an opposing player a W*****. You just have to get on with it. A bad ref is better than none at all surely. I really dont think any of them are biased, just not very good, but I must agree that if St Comgalls walked off in protest at the state of the pitch, anyone who has been there this season will sympathise with that.

St Comgalls did not walk off at protest of the pitch, it's no coincidence that the walk off came immediately after the 2nd sending off. The game shouldn't have been played, I'm not disputing that but they're purely making excuses now.

Thats the one. But don't remember him "giving you nothing" that day. Was a good honest game of football with no controversial decisions. The only thing I remember about that game was him blowing up just as I had beat 3 defenders (the only time i've done that all season) and slotted the ball home...he waited till the ball went into the net until he blew!!  As for the match the Saturday, don't aske me, I was still in a daze from the many pints I had on Friday night to celebrate my 21st ;D but yes, agree the pitch was a state but theres no way St.Comgalls walked off in protest against the pitch, it was obviously against the referee!! To be honest I hope the match is replayed to give us the chance to do the double over you's properly  |

This sounds like the ref who also sent our player off against Lisnafillan for asking what a decision was for. Pretty sure he's from Ballee or is going with a girl from there but he does have a real chip on his shouler.

Don't think he's pally with teams, conspiracies are sneaking in now. Seems he's just a genuinely bad referee and teams need to respond like Connor did on Saturday and walk away/shut up to avoid any of this nonsense  |

By walking off the pitch and forcing the abandonment of the game surely the "several other things that happened", whatever they may be, do not matter, as the game is now void?! Maybe i'm wrong and would appreciate if someone could shed any light! |

We have all been on the wrong end of terrible reffereeing decisions but by taknig the laws ( of the game) into their own hands and walking of the pitch St Comgalls should be punished with a fine and Connor awarded the points. Although I do understand what the Connor lads are saying in that they would rather play the game right and win the points that way!

I agree Jeff, and i'm glad someone can see where we're coming from.
But as you say, we'd be more than happy to play against them again...We beat them up in Larne, so we have no reason to believe that we'd not be able to get a similar result against them in Kells!
