David Coldrick- it's time to mic-up referees

18 Mar 2025

Description

A hugely strong podcast and a fabulous lens into the world of the referee. David Coldrick has been the 'man in the middle' during four All-Ireland finals. He'd like another. Broadly speaking, Coldrick is a supporter of the new rules and the work carried out by the FRC. Although, the Meath whistler, fair and balanced, says it was a mistake not to include a referee on the initial panel. Former referee Maurice Deegan is now part of the FRC. There’s more. Coldrick looks back on the time he failed a fitness test, explains why that happened and the public scrutiny surrounding him at that time. He also mentions how referees will use their common sense to apply rules, and gives telling examples of how that's done- as recently as this year. David also believes it would be a good idea for referees to be mic'd up. He suggests as many as 3/4 of the approx 40 inter-county referees would be ready or close to ready, if that happened. Refereeing the 3v3, the best rule introduced and the one he’s not so sure about. A brilliant listen from one of the most respected and talented referees the GAA has at its disposal.
