Nothing worse than an umpire leaning up against the post not paying attention to anything other than if the ball goes over the bar or not.

It would have been a yellow card for nothing.ref at half time said to our lads I know it's frustrating what's goin on. If he said that then he had seen more than he letting on. We had same ref and umpires 2 weeks in a row.not saying ref lost us game but the consistency was not there.we targeted before we even started game the umpires said this as well watching ye from last week to. In my book give a lad a chance before that rubbish. Reco (Meath) - Posts: 419 - 10/08/2016 10:27:50 1899267 Link

We have a few that appear to have a bigger say than the ref .... What venue was the game at numberedjerseys (USA) - Posts: 348 - 10/08/2016 10:45:58 1899278 Link
At a game recently when ref spent mote time running in and out to umpires than following the play it annoyed players on both sides , the line and supporters. Yellow cards all over the place not one red shown . To be honest the ref looked embarrassed by the end Brownepat (Meath) - Posts: 532 - 10/08/2016 10:58:29 1899293 Link
