Breakspear with a virtual clean sweep of awards, only second to Whistleblower’s favourite Alan Young in one category.

Kettle’s name on the highest card count in one match is not surprising in the slightest.

Interested to see James Linington’s low card count as he seemed to have a pretty high card ratio in previous seasons
Good ref who perhaps now relies more on man management skills than he used to do. Rarely attracts controversy either. Continually surprised that not more on here mention him as a possibility for a PL trial, particularly when the names of Langford, Ward, England, Brooks and Robinson crop up.

Edited that part out - no need for it. 

That comes up all the time, isn't he a high ranking police officer in the Met and therefore wouldn't be interested?

Isn't that Dean Whitestone?

Never mind, rustyref, the time to worry is if The Sun has got to your head.
