I had the most pleasent afternoon on Saturday sat near Brendan, as he was the Ref Observer for Argyle vs Accrington. I had a long chat beforehand about refeering and his disappointment when he had to retire. He spoke highly of Plymouth and said he always enjoyed refeering at Home Park, despite admitting the crowd are quite hostile when they get going. He explained to myself and others the role of an Observer and showed us how they assess the officials. He was professional throughout and was very good at interacting with the banter, when people groaned about the officials. He admitted afterwards Mr Johnson did well, which was the consensus around me also. He admitted he was looking forward to returning later this season, he hoped.
Top Bloke - Wonderful to have a chat with, and was a pleasure to watch him carry out his duties in a professional but interacting manner. Well done Mr Malone.
Shame the same cannot be said about Argyle's 2nd Half.
