Elite sport can continue, and that includes the National League.  The potential issue I can see is that Premier League clubs risk picking up infections after playing lower league clubs in the FA Cup games where the Covid testing isn't at the same levels. 

There are certainly going to be postponements in the league games though.

But with all 72 clubs being tested this week, I would assume that it will mirror the rest of the country and see an increase in infections causing further disruption!

Kettle and Rochdale paired up once again.... although he seems to have good games when he officiates them!

If it's on...

His 15th Dale appointment and I can only think of one where he left me totally exasperated.

Rochdale v Crewe is now taking place on Saturday. Ross Joyce has been replaced by Andy Haines, for what must be approaching his 1000th Dale appointment!

Kettle going to opposite ends of the country, Carlisle and Charlton within four days. I do wonder whether, in a national lockdown, such widespread travel is wise. Presumably all match officials are tested very regularly for Covid ?

Totally agree. And why is it necessary for Ben Toner to travel all the way from Lancs to Lincoln to be on 4O duty? I know Lincoln v Peterborough is a key game, but surely they could have found someone more local then Ben to act as 4O. Or has he moved?

Nope, still in Darwen.

Chris Sarginson from Staffs to Ipswich is another one.

An important game for Mr Finnie at Lincoln.

And I thought he did ok in the main
No complaints for the Posh red card but was managed by Lincoln's Bridcott throughout the game, and allowed he numerous fouls after an initial caution.
Will need to be aware of that as he hopefully makes his way up the leagues

Penalty claim for handball by Lincoln wall...didn't think so in real time but replays and sky thought it was.

I believe Alan Clayton replaced Richard Bartlett as Fourth official prior to this match so I think it was him that replaced Scott Oldham as referee instead of Richard Bartlett as some websites have reported.
