       The way we are playing TVOS I reckon you might be 1 out of 7!
       Unfortunately I'm in the middle of moving house so I won't get
       the chance of my first viewing of Mr Kettle in many a year -
       although I seem to remember he was fine.

       My apologies. He's one of those I haven't seen yet. So it's just
       Yianni, Middleton and Quelch who have EFL teams.

       Mr Middleton had TRFC v Oxford City last season which made me
       think he might be in contention for the FL list. Not seen Mr
       Yianni, but when Rovers were in the NL Mr Quelch was very poor,
       though hopefully improved since then.

       Further delay at Accrington as another official is receiving
       treatment for an injury - second half yet to restart!

       They've restarted with only one linesman/assistant...

       It sounds like chaos! Danny Gratton becomes the 3rd referee to
       take charge of the match - not sure I’ve ever seen this before!
       Something similar happened at Millwall last season, but Tony
       Harrington was replaced before the match so didn’t actually
       start the game before Lee Swabey was himself replaced in the
       first half!

       Penalty, red card, yellow for timewasting
       The observors report will be a scream
       Cannot believe there was no neutral enough in the ground to get
       up to full compliment

       Apparently Alan Clayton also pulled a muscle. Possibly didn't
       warm up enough. Two officials came forward from the crowd, one
       related to a member of the Accrington staff and the other a
       friend of a Crewe player but neither were considered to be
       neutral enough. The teams were then told that the game had to be
       completed with only one assistant with a toss of a coin taking
       place to determine which line he would run.

       I wonder when Danny last referees a match of any importance. I
       don't know he level, but he will have been L3 and a specialised
       assistant, so could have been 3 years since.
       They will have had to have the other assistant for ball in /
       out.
       Would be interesting to see the full match simply to analyse the
       referee / assistant positioning.

       I recall that in 2016, the referee of a Scottish Junior Cup
       Quarter Final had to go off through injury, the senior assistant
       taking over in the middle. The protocol on that occasion meant
       that the other assistant had to be removed, the match being
       completed with two club linesmen to signal "out of play" only.
