Nice short trip for Anthony Backhouse from north Cumbria to South Wales!
-
James Adcock on yet another comeback after an absence of over a month. I think I'm right in saying that only Scott Duncan and Darren Handley have not refereed a League or Cup game this season so far, correct me if I'm wrong please.

Darren Handley does a lot of observing at 2A and 3 so maybe he is doing that now?
-
Rather strange to have SG2 Matthew Donohue on 4O duties to Darren Drysdale at Accrington Stanley v Gillingham, particularly as it hardly counts as a key game in L1.
-
I think that is quite local for Donohue, so if they are short of available referees, that may be why he is used. Good to see Adcock back, but I am a bit surprised it is on what is an important game at the bottom of the table - I would have thought a more middle of the table game would be more suited to a comeback from injury.
-
John Coleman and Steve Evans nearly always leads to a high profile referee and 4th official. Coleman's mellowed a lot but I think Evans can still wind him up.

The absolute bottom of the table match goes to Ben Toner.

I believe that due to COVID that Darren Handley hasnt had the chance to complete a fitness test since he failed one last year. He is an assessor on step 2,3&4 football also
-
No return for James Adcock after all - it must be so frustrating for him!

Sad as it is, surely a time must come soon when the F A and James Adcock have to call it a day on any hope of a return.
I am sure he will have other gifts he can offer and which the F A can willingly use

.....and the main topic of conversation was what was worse - the pitch or the referee. It appears a close call.
-
The Surrey card shark back in business at Plymouth after an apparent lean spell. 2nd yellow looked justified although the tackle was in midfield.
-
The second yellow was a very clear yellow IMO - one where he had little choice!
Similarly, in fact, to a second yellow card that James Linington shouldve issued at Derby - I cant actually believe he didnt!! Very poor decision from a usually steady official!
-
I can't tick the 'agree' box on this one, Charlieboy, but I will tick the 'like' box for your informed views on Charles.
-
Me too AT. I think there really is the potential for him to be a very good referee and yet something seems to hold him back because despite his many strengths he hasn't been given a SG2 berth yet. I have met him; he is affable and humorous, whether that extends onto the pitch I couldn't say. I feel that there is a lack of 'measure' to his performances, the jigsaw pieces are all there but as yet they don't seem to fit together to reveal the full picture.
-

That he is and he gives the best hugs ever! One of the downsides when AFCB got promoted to the PL - Missy bmb lost out on a lot of hugs! Priorities you know!! I've never actually seen him referee, he used to be fairly regular at Dean Court as an AR but AFCB were in the PL by the time he was promoted so I have never seen him referee just as an AR & he was always decent when he visited us.

Kettle has been extremely lean the last few weeks.... he must be ready for a card fest and a disaster game soon!

No the word I'd use to describe Kettle. A bit short on cards maybe, but "lean" ????
Homonyms should be avoided where one of the potential meanings is inappropriate ! ;)

I think the weather tomorrow may result in an increase in the backlog of fixtures. Rain is the problem falling on already saturated ground. :'(

He sent-off Jason Pearce at Charlton v Rochdale last Tuesday.
-
Please no more talk of Kettle being due some cards or a stinker of a game. He's doing Portsmouth v AFC Wimbledon tonight and we could do without any undue intervention from the official.

And that was his first red card in league football this season...!
-
Lincoln v Gillingham called off due to a waterlogged pitch. Ref Ross Joyce, 4O Chris Sarginson.
-
Robert Jones suffers another postponement as Blackburn vs Swansea tonight is off due to waterlogged pitch

Would you Adam and Eve it... Kettle managed a clean sheet.... ???

And from watching sky sports news a decent sprint right near the end for the final goal!

On the subject of 'card sharks' I think I know why Mr Purkiss is high on the list.
Mr Purkiss decided to manage the game at Peterborough last night by letting a number of mandatory cautions go early on.
This led to players of both sides taking the law into their own hands with some nasty tackles as there appeared no sanction.
In fact their where more cautions for dissent in the first half as players and management became very frustrated.
Game management is all well and good, but allowing players to kick lumps out of each other before deciding to caution isnt .
Second half he resorted to cautions but this was way too late and very inconsistent with what had happened before
How Charlton's Pratley wasn't cautioned until the 90th minute I'll never know and Posh's Hamilton was very lucky.
-
I was fortunate enough to be in the ground for this game. It was one of the most entertaining I have seen for ages despite little goalmouth action. Charlton's game plan was based around a high intensity press and they did it superbly. When they couldn't tackle fairly they did it illegally and when they didn't like the outcome they moaned. Boy did they moan. Who would have thought a Lee Bowyer team would play like that! They did it well but seemed to run out of steam on a very heavy pitch and a change of formation from Posh at that point exploited them to come from behind to win.
The problem for Sam Purkiss, in a very challenging game, was not the nasty tackles (although there were some from both sides) but the failure to address persistent fouling. Darren Pratley in particular must be a smooth talker but Jake Forster-Caskey was allowed too many before he made it into the notebook. The early penalty to Charlton was correct and given from an excellent position after a grapple by Ethan Hamilton. Hamilton went on to commit many fouls, including one clearly in retribution for a previous tackle, without sanction before being wisely withdrawn. Mr Purkiss also failed to sanction one clear yellow card offence by Charlton for breaking up a promising attack when, to my eye, he lost the offender (as did I!). Chuks Aneke was very fortunate to escape a red card for a flailing arm - no foul was detected by Mr Purkiss or his well-placed assistant Damith Bandara. Darren Ferguson received a yellow card for dissent when he came down from his place in the stand to berate the fourth official, Paul Evans. He was fortunate not to to get another when his response to the card was audible all round the ground. Time-wasting was insufficiently policed as was the not-so-surreptitious kicking away of the ball. Throw ins were generally taken from anywhere as long as it was on the correct side of the ground apart from one occasion where Mr Purkiss, at great length, pushed the player all the way back to his own corner flag (correctly) before ignoring him stealing ten yards before he released it.
A cracking evening. If there had been a crowd it would have been a real bear-pit and I would have been astonished if we had ended up with 22 players on the pitch. I rather suspect if the game had been refereed to the book it wouldn't have been half as entertaining. :-\

Full marks to Morecambe and Walsall for completing their L2 game on Tuesday despite weather conditions that were extreme to put it mildly. From what I could see on the Quest highlights, which was not much, Salisbury Sr was in charge and whether it was a penalty.....who knows? :-X
