Sam Purkiss Sunderland v Bolton
« on: Sat 25 Sep 2021 23:47 »
OK yes I am posting as a Sunderland fan whose team won a proper old fashioned football match today but to comment on the referee can be made by using one word only

  WOW !!!!

 It is the first time I have seen this referee and I must say he had a storming game.

 He let the game flow and didn't blow up every five seconds and I honestly cannot remember him getting any decision wrong.

 Just before the end and with Bolton chasing the game there was a foul committed by a Sunderland player inside the Bolton half a flare up erupted and what he did was just let it peter out and book one offending player without hoying the reds around.

Well done Sam Allison I hope you go far based on repeat performances like that of today.

I have seen Sam Purkiss on a couple of occasion. Very understated style and accurate with decision making is my remembrance of him. Something makes me think the Law his his profession but I can't say for sure. Does anyone know ?

Originally from Gainsborough, he is a graduate of Cambridge University and has qualified as a solicitor who advises on commercial and regulatory matters relating to sport, sponsorship, the exploitation of intellectual property and publishing. So probably not in football for the money!

Sent off 5 home players in an Isthmian League match a while back. Saw him a fair bit at non-league level. Not surprised he is progressing.

Thank you for the further information m'learned friend. Well Purkiss certainly has the right alma mater ( Whistleblower says with every vestige of bias ! ) and his legal specialisms are certainly at the sharp ( and often quite lucrative ) end of the market. Intellectual property in particular is a very keen field these days. Good to see a referee with a profession other than Refereeing Development or Management, both of which seem to be very prevalent these days.

I saw him in his early days on the list in L2 at Gresty Road. Not overly-impressed on that occasion, and pleased to see that he is obviously progressing.

An excellent performance and by far the best official we have had this season. He let the play flow and his game management was exceptional and he certainly seemed to establish a good rapport with the players from the off. There was a bit of a skirmish near the end but he handled it brilliantly and calmly. Good luck to him for the rest of the season.

If Black and White is so brilliant why do most of us have colour tellies

If my memory isn't slipping as i approach the national speed limit, I think Sam's game with the five dismissals was at Wingate and Finchley? I'm sure there'll be google searches for the thrill seekers. 😄

It was indeed.

I worked with Sam from when he first moved to London and it was always evident he was going to progress.  Very good referee but also a really nice and laid laid back guy.

No google search needed, I remember it well. It was against the sadly departed Thurrock and Stuart Thurgood got the only goal, perhaps unsurprisingly, from the penalty spot. Unusually in such circumstances there was not the slightest word of criticism of the referee. The red cards were for a good mix of offences and there was a suspicion that the last couple (language and kicking the ball away for second yellow) were self-inflicted to get the game over with.
