Selston FC v Heanor Tn FC
Uhlsport United Counties League
Premier ( North)

Referee James Tewson L4
Assisted by Steve Davis and Brett Hovey
Att: 180 approx


Let's start with a " Did you know ? ". Gypsy king Dan Boswell is buried in St Helen's Churchyard in Selston. He lived from 1737 until 1827, dying aged 76, which mathematically takes some getting your head around, but hey!

The ground, under local Parish control, was opened in 1934 by Harold Larwood and Sam Staples. The famous Umpire and cricketer Arthur Jepson played here too; he of the " you can see the moon, how far do you want to see" after a player wondered if the light was good enough! An Umpire in the 1975 World Cup, one of just nine Nottinghamshire men to1000+ First Class wickets..oh, and 100 odd Football League apoearances for Stoke City and Port Vale as Goalkeeper. Some guy Arthur!

Selston play in Inter Milan colours, which is where any similarity stops. Thus is is very difficult to pick up where the referee is at any given moment. A 21st Century F. A. might think about banning this kit, or leagues give the referees alternative coloured options?

Three first half Selston cautions were fair enough, but Mr Tewson's (James hereafter) caution technique seems a little long winded, to me anyway. I get the " take the heat out, ensure the injured player gets treatment etc" but fetching a full back forty yards to return to be cautioned! ..there may be an argument for not letting him get forty yards away in the first place?

This lack of what one might say dealing with incidents in good time surfaced again late on. James stopped play, with the ball in play, for Selston to attend to an injury in front of the dugouts. It was lengthy, but fair enough. Before play can restart another Selston player hits the floor. Let's not call it a dive, let's just say it surprised many of those watching, and i went to fetch my spare trunks from the car!

James allows the Trainer time to deal with this, and then finally FINALLY decides who should receive the drop ball, and away we go. I didn't time the two incidents, but wouldn't have got change out of seven or eight minutes! My view would be that had James shown a little more urgency in getting the ball dropped in the first place, the second incident may not have had time to brew. Just a thoughts James?

James got around well, did not appear to make many errors, and nor did he unduly get involved ( which always finds favour with me), and ably supported by both Assistants. The odd good advantage, in a game with little opportunity..

This was a dire match, shots were few, arguments were plenty. Without any free flow it would be hard to shine. A performance to be put into a category below a referee's best, but not to be disappointed about either perhaps?

Heanor edged this scrappy game 2-1, and not one of the goals had the strength to actually hit the back of the net! I don't know what the definition of a scrambled goal is, but if i had a video to post...
