more often than not, your referee on a given weekend will be less than adequate, especially in the lower divisions.
It’s something that we accept as part and parcel of the club game and we just learn how to play on these refs inadequacies, but Kevin McStay says that even at intercounty level the standard if refereeing is far below standard.
If you’ve lined out for your club on more than a few occasions chances are you have a list of referees that you don’t want to see pulling into your club car park on a Sunday. The worrying thing for our association according to McStay however is, that even at the highest level there are only a select few officials who have a good grasp of how to adjudicate a game.
