Good to hear

That will be the north of Ireland

Fantastic game of cup hockey and great atmosphere from both sets of supporters. Arena was around 2/3 full but it didn’t detract from the occasion at all

It was Hedden

No

It’s my best side Rob

Sorry Nigel. I thought I’d put your name down

I’ll give you a précis later

Thanks for the kind words Glynne much appreciated. My colleagues Clare, Corky, Janine and Nic have been doing it a lot longer than me mind

Technically it would be difficult to blow up during play even if we were allowed. I have to keep monitoring play in case of further incidents so more often than not don’t have the opportunity to check a replay until a stoppage.

All of the off ice match officials are volunteers mate. I do get the occasional bottle of water though but don’t tell anyone

all I can do is find the clip the referees need to see. They have to make the decision based on what the video shows or if it’s not conclusive, stick with the on ice decision

Simple rule of thumb. Don’t say anything you wouldn’t happily tell someone to his face

What’s insulting about it?
