EFL League 1, 2 & National League Prem / Re: Fri 13th – Wed 18th MAR 2026

I’m aware of what they said, and obviously the camera is placed as such that I’ve no idea whether Mr Guest is in line, but all we can judge him on is accuracy of his onside/offside judgement and it looks to be very correct to me. Photo attached. This is as close to the moment of the pass (or attempted shot) as I can get it and the arrowed blue player looks to be being played onside by the circled red player…

As to shorty shorts, Clive Thomas's looked quite long compared to his fellow Welshman Tom Reynolds.

Perhaps it's a Welsh thing. My memory of the referee with the shortest of shorts is of H D Davies of Wenvoe, (a place only known from old TV signals.

Returning from my Sunday morning Miner's Benedict I caught the second one of this morning's repeats. Three thoughts occurred to me, one from each match featured.
1) I would not have recognised the much younger Allan Gunn.
2) The smart referee of the second match was referred to as Mr Dowling. Was this actually Colin Downey?
R) Having always believed that referees' attire used to be much smarter, I have to admit the Derek Civil, with open plunging V-neck and low-cut white vest looked an absolute mess.

I remember the name Derek Civil, ( Birmingham from memory, I haven't got Upton to hand ) but don't remember the person. As to the scruffiest referee, I always thought R A Banks, Allan with two Ls I think, from Manchester came top of that rather undesirable cohort.

One reason he missed the offside was that he was not up with play, and that was stated by a Walsall supporter who was on the side the assistant was running the line, and said it should have been disallowed as there player was clearly offside.

Have any of those people that are expert ARs from the stands at the Crewe game actually watched the first goal back? Because it looks onside to me. Maybe there's a reason Mr Guest is operating on the professional game and the stand dwellers aren't?
