Slap-happy? Galvin-proof wallet eases Ref's fears
Tipperary whistler Paddy Russell makes a welcome return to inter-county action this weekend. In his first refereeing assignment since the controversial incident involving ‘You Know Who’ back in Killarney. It seems like only yesterday.

Paddy will take charge of Armagh’s quarter final tussle with Wexford hoping that there will be none of the oul nonsense of players slappin’ away his referee’s wallet or notebook in a fit of pique.

Talking Balls has been working behind the scenes with a well known international wallet and notebook maker of some renown and we have commissioned an innovative new Squareball wallet, exclusively available to referees the length and breadth of the country. If only we’d thought of this earlier. . .

A robust and adjustable lanyard allows yer match official to attach the wallet-cum-notebook to his shorts, underpants or indeed his wrist if that is his preference. The benefit to the referee is obvious – in general play he knows that his bits and pieces are always attached and – should he become embroiled in any untoward controversy on the pitch, he can do his business safe in the knowledge that the device cannot be knocked to the ground.

Exploratory talks may be soon be under way to make a TV ad a la Vodafone promoting the wallet featuring maybe the likes of Paddy Russell and Paul Galvin. Sure twould be a bit of harmless oul fun!
