Refereeing question

[Kenny]

Correct, though at Football league level the referee has to make time for a representative of both clubs to ask him any relevant queries he may have. At lower levels of the game there are issues with referees being verbally abused when leaving their dressing room.

I presume there is no limit to the amount of red cards one player get per game. Didn't Dean Windass (or someother lardy footballer) get 3 red cards in one game in Scotland?

I've seen these before and you can Google them to find the answers.

Give every referee an iPad rather than a notebook and we're sorted.

Provided he can get a signal - wouldn't fancy his chances at Molineux.

7. Some real odd ones in there.

Not that I am aware of. If a player continues to commit red card offences after being sent off, then the referee should report each one separately. The most I have known is five different offences reported. The five offences were as follows:

1 - The original sending off
2 - Telling the referee what he thought of him as the player left the pitch
3 - Striking an opponent as he left the pitch.
4 - Striking a club official on the sidelines
5 - Re-entering the pitch and threatening the referee.

Needless to say that the player received a long suspension.

Barton?

 

[FrankMunro-371]

No, it was in a Leicester district league match. Very Barton like in his behaviour though......

 

[VanWolfie]

I got 10/12, not bad for someone who's retired from reffing a few years now. Much better than Halsey!

 

[darlowolf64]

10/12 too. The questions had a few that were really obscure and unlikely to happen in a Premier League match. Would be interested to know which two I got wrong

 

[NorwayFB]

I only scored 6,very disappointed.

I know I got the tunnel incident before the game question wrong,I sent the team out with 10 men and they got what they deserved!!
Looking forward to seeing the correct answers.

 

[manhattan project]

5 out of 10 for moi. Some stupid questions, or were they stupid answers!!

 

[b3h]

3, shocking

 

[arklowolf]

Only 4 for me, ashamed to say.

 

[Jack Regan]

8 which has surprised me somewhat.

Well done!

I hope you asked him a shit load of good questions. Like, does he know Frank?
Fully expect a detailed debrief on here shortly.

Job's going well then?

 

[FrankMunro-371]

To answer the question. No I do not know Dermot Gallagher. I have been present when he has been a guest speaker, but not had the pleasure of talking with him.

Can i just check something here....You seem to have told a story that doesn't include you "smashing" anyone!!! Unless of course Dermot asked you to keep quiet.......

The only thing 'smashed' in this story was Dermot Gallagher himself! We had a pint with him and the officials and then a few people recognised him and actually came over looking to have photos with him, I thought forget that, he's not that interesting, so myself and my mate went over to chat to some guests who we'd served at dinner earlier. About an hour later, Gallagher gets up to go across to the toilet, and literally bounces off everyone in his path, like a pinball. He shouldered the lady that was with us, and so I had to apologise as she didn't know what was going on, he hit into her quite hard, he was pretty shitfaced. I got my phone out ready to take a picture of him when he staggered back out of the jacks, but I caught the eye of the FAI representatives who I recognised because they had escorted the match officials to dinner on Tuesday, and they were glaring at me, so I put the phone away. Obviously they recognised me and knew where I worked so I thought better of taking photos of drunk referees.

A few interesting things from talking with Dermot Gallagher: - He puts on a very poor Irish accent when he is here, he tried to tell me he's a Dub at heart and loves the GAA and all that, yet whenever I hear him on Sky Sports he has a full on English accent.
- The FAI have lost all confidence in Trappatoni but can't afford to let him go (we already knew that one)
- The Irish players dont pay any attention to Trap, Tardelli and his crew are the real bosses and run the whole show, from training to match tactics
- working for Sky Sports is how he mainly makes a living these days
