i would have to say from a personal experience that paul "bug" mulligan is the best refree in ulster football never mind tyrone football, he lets the game flow well and has full control over the players from the start of the game to the end.
its strange that he hasn't been refree on the big stage yet but i think we will soon see him refing all ireland finals. i have been talking to the man recently and he says he loves what he does and has great enthuaism for the game..

Peter Nugent I would have to agree with you. Paul 'Bug' Mulligan would have to be the best Referee in Ulster. He is always up with play and can control a game very well. He also had the full respect of the players and his fitness is second to none.
I reckon he could get a Senior Final in the next 3 years if he keeps progressing the way he has done over this past 2 years.
The Bug also is a very likeable character and it would be great to see him get the top job in Tyrone football.

the man is a gentleman on and off the field, and i think he will get his opportunity soon on the big stage.

For me it's got to be O'Hagan from Brackaville

I cant believe that no one has mentioned Martin Sludden
Martin will be reffing allireland finals in a couple of years time

Omagh joe are you joking about Sludden . maybe if you are from the west he might be OK

Sorry Omagh Joe can't agree with you on Sludden. Whilst his decision making is generally sound he always has to announce himself to the game and sending lads off for very little when a wee talking to would do the trick, especially when a large crowd is gathered. He has already ref'd in Croke Park with controversy ensuing over certain decisions made on the day. Looking back over the years, Wee Pat O'Neill from Cookstown was one of the best about I'd say, and could keep up with the bloody play and not dictate things from the middle of the field.

I think martin sludden is decent referee but our referees at the top would be sean quinn cahal o hagan steven mc namee or martin mohan. I heard sean quinn had county final this year only clonoe got to it{as he is friendly with a prominent clonoe man}

Why has no one mentioned our county ref - Mickey Hughes?!?!

Sludden is a good ref. Can keep control of the game and individual players.

Ah come on fellas when all is said and done Sludden is a great ref and one of lifes true gentlemen to boot.
Its a great pity that we dont have a few more refs like him
I am highly disapointed that he isnt more appreciated but sure you know what they said about a prophet never being recognised in his own land. I know down by Monaghan they think he's a great ref

Would have to say that Martin Sludden is way ahead of the rest. Seems to be a copy of Kevin Skelton who was a superb ref who got on with players.

I am of the opinion that a lot of east tyrone clubs are favouring east tyrone ref's and west tyrone clubs supporting Sludden!!!

Is there a divide in the county?????

black_pen (Tyrone) - Posts: 44 - 12/11/2008 16:07:59    139759

Sludden is straight down the middle. No favours for anyone; gives it as he sees it. may not be right all the time but hey, who is?

I am from the east and think steve mc namee a good ref and there is nothing wrong with sludden as a ref either
