       Will Finnie - Argyle vs Oldham

       On Saturday, I watched my third "newbie" of the Season, and he
       probably rates as the 2nd best of the three.
       Will Finnie, overall was fine, but a few decisions were wide of
       the mark. One in particular, was the failure to send off an
       already booked player, one of those which would probably of been
       given by most referees. Some of his foul detection and
       consistency was lacking, but I feel that this is likely to come
       with experience. Definately has got a promising future ahead of
       him at this level, and look forward to hearing about his
       progress.
       Sam Purkiss was definately the best so far, with his very
       promising performance vs Salford, although he lost it a little
       late on but this was understandable with by the far the biggest
       crowd he'd refereed in front of at that point, bearing down his
       neck.
       Josh Smith's performance is well documented on this site, and I
       hope to hear positive reports of improvements over the next few
       weeks.

       I have seen all three, Purkiss, Finnie and Smith on their rise
       up through the ranks. All three have considerable potential and
       from what I have seen I think Finnie is the most likely to 'hit
       the heights' closely followed by Purkiss. That's probably the
       kiss of death to their careers !  I know Smith was very highly
       regarded by Match Observers.

       So it would appear from what was written on here. However, there
       would only be one Observer whose opinion will count as to future
       progress and in the past it is among that group of Observers
       where Smith was highly rated.
       A difficult start at a new level is never good but I remember
       that in his first match on the Football League, Peter Jones was
       slated by the press and he didn't go on to have too shabby a
       career.
       Let us hope that the 'newbies' soon find their feet and
       establish themselves at this new level.
