Description

With no soccer action this week, one of Carlow's top referees Nathan Bannon sits down with Harry to discuss all things refereeing. From his own achievements to date including an LFA Junior Cup final and a FAI Women's Amateur Shield final, to his own ambitions of refereeing in the League of Ireland, what it's like working with linesmen, the loneliness of the job, the abuse he and other referees have endured, being assaulted, the most misunderstood rules, his motivation for refereeing and what keeps him going every week, no topic is out of bounds in an honest and open interview about the highs and lows of refereeing.
