Yes, I think you're right. James sets off with a 4O at Port Vale on Saturday. I wish him well!

Tim Robinson gets the Birmingham derby which seems to indicate that he may be moving up sometime, particularly after what appears to have been a good performance at the Leeds v WBA game last weekend. Crucial games at the bottom of the Championship for Simon Hooper at Bolton and Andy Davies at Reading.

When Leicester won the Premiership, in the run up wasn't Kevin Friend taken off a Spurs game, (one of their nearest rivals) to prevent any possible problems. Would Andy Madley's appointment to a Norwich game fall into the same category? Although I'm not sure I would want him replaced by the 4th official!

Woolmer gets Ipswich again??

I'm past caring just which of that large group of men who are incredibly lucky to be earning a good living out of mediocrity (at best) preside over the last rites of Ipswich's 60+ years in the top half of the Football League.

Apparently Mr Woolmer had to run the line for the final 15 mins of this evenings game - not sure if it was Cann or Hussin who had to go off
