General Discussion / Re: Farai Hallam - Manchester City v Wolves
« on: Sat 24 Jan 2026 22:06 »
Darren England was quite dismissive of a VAR intervention last season at Fulham for a penalty in relation to handball. I can’t comment on the handball itself today as that is beyond confusing these days but England and Sam Barrott were both on VAR duty for this match. Is it possible that they can both be incorrect on this incident?

Two safe pairs of hands in Charles Breakspear and Ben Atkinson for Colchester this week.

A little strange to see David Webb get back to back trips below the Championship. Top games for Howard, Duckworth, J Oldham, Corlett and Parkinson.

And a Double Dosage of Dutton for David at Doncaster!

I believe that it is almost two years since David Webb has been seen below Championship level. He has had a few fourth official appointments so it isn't as though he has been out of action.

Swindon have been charged by the EFL and FA.

In addition to the teamsheet issues, they also played Oliver Clarke who was serving a seven match suspension. Presumably they thought the EFL Trophy wasn't a match included in that suspension.

Apparently it’s the surrounding areas of the pitch says Hull twitter. The pitch itself is fine
Yeah, saw that. Be interesting to see what they define as the surrounding areas, as its player rather than fan safety they’re concerned with

From this, the area just outside the field of play.

Both clubs have been charged by the FA although no sign of individual charges issued to the players/staff as seen in the Bristol City v Millwalll incident last month.

James Bell immediately sprinted to the incident so he was obviously aware that it was something that could spark a reaction from the opposition. I guess we’ll never know if it was Mr Bell or one of the other officials that convinced him that it was only a yellow.

I can't see Michael Salisbury ever refereeing Preston North End over the last 10 seasons, as that's where he is from i think, sounds like he could potentially be a PNE fan?

Tom Bramall has never officiated either Sheffield Utd or Sheffield Wednesday so maybe safe to say he supports one of these
Michael is from Penwortham, which is a Prenton postcode. So he won’t be down to officiate Preston. No idea who he supports though.

The postcode rule was binned 6/7 years ago.

The one place I thought I was safe from the 6/7 meme, it rears it's ugly head! ;)

Make the most of it, it won't be long before bmb updates the postcode rule to 7/8 years to copy and paste each time someone queries Anthony Taylor's appointment to a Manchester club !

Michael Barlow for Crewe. It will be his second visit to Crewe, after coming in September for the vertu trophy against Chesterfield - a 7-1 win for us. More of the same please!!

And it will be a completely different atmosphere as well. From around 1000 in the vertu trophy to potentially over 8000 on Friday night. Crewe have reduced their ticket prices and are hoping to fill the stadium.

Michael Barlow and Matthew Moss will have the “honour” of officiating the first match of the new Bristol Rovers management team, Steve Evans and Paul Raynor.

Awful scenes at the end of Bristol City v Milwall. Scrap started between a City fan and milwall coach then about 30 people involved. The sky commentator said “Bristol City are unhappy at the calls made by the referee” the same referee who Crewe have on Wednesday… Ed Duckworth. Can’t wait!

Disgraceful scenes indeed… the FA will be busy handing out their 10p fines to all concerned… 🙄

The reverse of today's Championship fixtures is the 29th December. That doesn't give the FA long to carry out their investigations and hand out the 10p fines prior to that.

Wow! I expected Kirk to get a PL game this season but perhaps not this early! Also, Kitchen to Old Trafford is a huge appointment this early in a career! Hope the ball runs kindly for them both!

I predicted by Christmas on a SG2 appointments thread a month or so back although backtracked a bit following the non penalty award at Hillsborough. I hope that all goes well for him as I certainly believe that he is a promising official.

I like Abi Byrne, a referee I rate, but we only had her in Colchester a month ago - was quietly hoping for a new face.

Will be keenly keeping an eye on the Essex derby for Matthew Russell

I wondered why Abi Byrne was the the fourth official for the Ipswich Women's team WSL2 match at Colchester the following day. Not that a return trip the following day would be too far to travel for her.

Another very good appointment for Tom Kirk, it would appear he his doing well.

Based on the appointments Mr Kirk would appear to be having a very good season. A PL appointment this season would almost seem certain but by Christmas is my prediction.

He will have to an awful lot better than this though

I returned to this post last night after that unbelieveable non penalty award. My attempt at a bold prediction no longer stands.
