There have been several campaigns in the past which raised awareness about the abuse that match officials have had to endure from time to time, but when something as disgusting as this happens, then more extreme measures are needed.
The Roscommon county board are expected to make an announcement on the matter today.
In a statement they previously released regarding the incident it stated that they were "Aware of an incident involving a referee at an underage match in Ballyforan.
“We would like to wish the referee involved in this incident a speedy recovery," the statement said.
It confirmed that the Competitions Control Committee would be launching a full investigation into the incident and that it condemns any behaviour which puts match officials at risk.
