Would you be happy with a Carlow man living and working in Wexford reffing a championship game between Kilkenny and Wexford?

The fundamental point that justice must be seen to be done and that, as far as possible, referees must not only be neutral but be seen to be neutral seems to be beyond the grasp of many here. You mention 'professional people who would come into contact with one another in day to day life but they go and do a professional job' Quite often 'professional people' - judges (another word for referee), for example, do withdraw fron cases where a PERCEIVED - key word here - conflict of interest may arise. Why did Dublin have the Kerry referee removed? Because they PERCEIVED a possible conflict of interest. Do you really think a Limerick referee living and working in Tralee would be acceptable to Dublin? Of course he would not and Dublin would be perfectly correct to have reservations about him. It is not personal in Gough's case - as my April post shows. It is simple: no one embedded in Dublin should be reffing a Dublin game, just as no one embedded in Kerry should be reffing a Kerry game. If you can't grasp that I give up."]You mentioned judges withdrawing well solicitors and barristers are in the legal game and they don't have a problem contesting cases against colleges or associates in the same profession . Isn't this a prime example of the law presiding over justice seeing to be done. If they weren't neutral they couldn't properly represent their clients and might be accused of not putting forward a proper defense or prosecution case. What's fundamentally important is that the best man for the job be appointed and Gough has proved that even if EF has his gripe."]So solicitors and barristers are neutral or are supposed to be neutral? It's no wonder the issue is beyond you. Aibrean (Kerry) - Posts: 263 - 19/08/2019 13:48:15 2227493 Link 3 |

you made my point, I wouldn't want a Mayo or Ros ref for a big Galway game like a semi or a final, I would want a ref from another province. You said Carlow and Wex hate KK, why would you want a ref from there then? suckvalleypaddy (Galway) - Posts: 1667 - 19/08/2019 15:31:22 2227542 Link 0 |

I was responding to a Galway poster claiming that a Carlow ref was not "neutral" in the minor final between Kilkenny and Galway, and that the ref should be from a "neutral province". I was saying this neutral province malarkey is a new thing that must have come in. I'm not getting into the David Gough clusterbomb, I'll let ye Kerry and Dublin lads fight it out. ballydalane (Kilkenny) - Posts: 1246 - 19/08/2019 15:46:13 2227556 Link 1 |

Bottom line here is this wouldn't happen in any other sport as the optics of it are appalling regardless of how good a ref is or not. westkerry (Kerry) - Posts: 1250 - 19/08/2019 17:05:15 2227589 Link 6 |

The point I'm trying to get across to you is that the solicitor and barrister carry out their duties professionally while perhaps knowing one another outside the profession. God above , will you ever go for a walk or something. You had your country board then come out and say they hadn't a problem so you must be one of these crackpots that we're looking for a mass protest. You look at all sports and are you really trying to suggest that no referees or umpires are living in cities involved in presiding over contests or games involving someone from a club or whatever that they may know outside the sport. catch22 (USA) - Posts: 2148 - 19/08/2019 17:30:55 2227611 Link 1 |

Ah years ago a Mayo ref sent off two Kerry men and one Galway man in an All Ireland final. His name was Dr Michael Loftus and he went on to become President. By the way Galway won.

Funny how these posters from Kerry don't seem to be accepting what their County board have come out and stated. catch22 (USA) - Posts: 2148 - 19/08/2019 17:42:58 2227623 Link 3 |

Ah sure look, the build up is low key in the capital and there isn't a peep from the camp. Meanwhile down in Kerrygold land the Twitter machine is lit up with ex players and ex managers lambasting the appointment of Meath officials for a Dublin game, the Kerry Supporters Club are calling for protests and a demonstration at Fitzgerald Stadium. To top it all the Kerry County Board has had to make a statement re the appointment of the Meath officials swiftly followed by the Kerry manager. Meanwhile in the capital there is an eerie silence and you could hear a pin drop as Jim and his troops quietly go about their way preparing for the game. Kerry Cormac may still be up for the game if you wish to give him a shout.

In American football they have a refereeing crew of 7 with one referee and 6 line judges. Why not use referees, who are togged out, as umpires for the championship instead of friends of the referee. When the ball is down on the opposite end of the field they can take up position on the 21 yard line and watch for off the ball stuff that the referee can't see and return to behind the goals when the ball comes back up to their end of the field. If there isn't enough referees they could use the top club referees during the regular championship and for the semi finals and final they could use inter county referees.
