Liam Marshall, Telford v Guiseley
« on: Sun 29 Nov 2020 13:50 »
This from OTS News today:

"Southport FC’s James Tedford was forced to step in and save a National League North match on Saturday after an injury to the referee.

The popular Secretary and Head of Operations  was asked to act as linesman at Telford V Guiseley this afternoon after an injury to referee Liam Marshall.

On Twitter AFC Telford said: “Liam Marshall sadly can’t continue; his position as referee will be taken by Mark Ryder and running the line is James Tedford, club secretary of @southport_fc who is here visiting today. He’s in his Sandgrounders tracksuit too!”

Guiseley AFC tweeted: “We have a new assistant referee on the side The Lions are attacking too! It looks as if @southport_fc‘s James Tedford is now running the line for the second half.”

Referee Liam Marshall was “tackled” just before half time after standing close to a throw in.

Home side AFC Telford went on to win the game 2-0".


Tedford was apparently on a scouting mission ahead of a game v Telford and was the only person capable of taking over on the line, there being no spectators at the game. Did Liam Marshall issue a yellow card to his 'tackler' before he departed I wonder?  And a red card was issued by Mark Ryder after he took over, so plenty going on at Telford yesterday afternoon.

Mr Tedford (as some will know him through refereeing at the Norway Cup) was a registered referee with the Scottish FA for a good long while before moving down to take up his position with Southport.

Was he the Tedford who was involved in a referee supplies business in Glasgow, in partnership with another referee, who has pr ogressed to better things? Or was he even as a very long shot the Scottish Ref who used to post on the old site?

Yes to the first question, not sure about the second.
