Andrew Humphries is referee why did he not take over as ref then, was mark Chakley not 4th official

I don't usually comment much but considering i too saw James Durkin's Championshp debut i'll comment my thoughts. I thought Geoff looked off during his warmup but he didn't seem to pull up but wish him all the best! For starters i think James for an unexperienced referee (For the league Only 2 League 1 games with more League 2) I thought we did well considering. I agree with the above comment about the red card however a player knows they cannot raise thier elbow to an opponents face, but yes i see both sides of the argument.
Intresting to know that Kevin Friend thier for support and Dale Randlall stood up as 4th official after an announcment on a tannoy asking for a qualified official. Maybe Geoff wasn't 100% before the match but why not just drop out? Who knows but i don't think James did himself no harm with a respectable peformance in a game which was tight and may of got out of control.
