Breakspear at Rotherham v Oxford also a big game as is Backhouse at Fleetwood v Wimbledon.

Anyone think Madley will become SG2 next season?

I hope not from a selfish point of view. One of the very small numbers of referees to impress at Portman Road this season. Will Finnie did not add to that number last night.

Season ticket holder friends of mine at SoL say Madley is the best ref we’ve had there this season too - and that was first game of the season!!!

Yes, he was excellent at Scunthorpe v Rochdale in February, although I imagine he'll be disappointed at the clear foul on Portsmouth's keeper that he missed at Morecambe on Monday.

Bobby Madleys Oldham vs Salford was abandoned
Anyone have any information?

From the BBC:

Former Burnley, Peterborough and Salford City player George Boyd has told BBC Radio Manchester that the pitch invasion at Boundary Park has got "embarrassing".

"They have made their point. They could have stayed in the centre circle for five minutes, but this has got embarrassing.

"There are kids, teenagers fighting amongst themselves, fighting outside and sliding on the grass. It's poor."

Just got home from the game as I went with two of my old mates from college.

Very unsavoury but understandable scenes at the end, and Bobby Madley (who had an excellent game) made absolutely the right decision to take the players off and abandon the game.

I sympathise in every sense with my mates and what has happened to their club and the sorry state it is in. The club is fighting for its own survival after 116 years in the EFL. Following Bury, Macclesfield, Derby, and many others who have had despicable owners who have no care for the club or the fans. Nothing will change until Mr Abdallah is removed.

When are the administrators and regulators going to get a grip of these rogue owners who have no idea how to run a football club??!

They have a right to protest, but they don't have a right to go onto the pitch whilst the game is in progress as that is a criminal activity.  Causing a game to be abandoned is going to be viewed very dimly, and it also has ramifications at the other end of the table.
