[QUOTE="An Tarbh, post: 155960"] well I do take offence to your last comment, but that's just a personal thing, although I do see the point you're making, the quality of Gaelic football is appalling in this country, the skills levels have decreased markedly especially when compared with the great Kerry and Dublin teams of the late 1970s and 1980s, that has had a spillover effect on the International Rules side with the team kicking a ridiculous amount of wides in the last few series, for those who know the game they'll know it's something to kick a wide in this game. So I don't know if this whole referee and discipline issue is being used as a smokescreen for something more serious that the GAA just want to avoid the embarrassment of. As for your point about bringing in foreign refs, that could work but then the GAA would most likely have to pay them which I doubt they'd be willing to do and I couldn't see too many coming to Ireland without that incentive.
