       Darren England: Northampton v Derby

       Lots of rejoicing on this site that Mr England has been given a
       recent PL debut and seems destined for higher things but.......
       I think tonight we have seen the most shocking (non) decision of
       the season when Goode hauled back Marriott with an arm round his
       neck while clean on goal and England gave.......nothing, not
       even a free kick when a foul and red card were clearly the order
       of the day.
       I am sure I will have stirred up the Darren England fan club who
       will be out in force will excuses like he was unsighted, the
       assistant had a better view etc. Sorry, it doesn’t wash for me -
       if this ref is being pushed for regular PL games and possibly
       FIFA status then awful decisions like this need eradicating
       quickly

       Darren England - Northampton Town v Derby County

       Unbelievable decision to not even award a free kick and
       subsequently send off the Cobblers defender Charlie Goode
       tonight, if Mr England wasn't in a good position his AR was.  He
       shouldn't have even had to revert to VAR, if it was available,
       to award and sanction that one.

       He also failed to award the most blatant penalty last week
       during the Saints v Wolves game where VAR bailed him out and he
       certainly wasn't unsighted then

       A shocking decision IMO don’t get how he doesn’t even see that
       as a foul has a big game at Leeds on Tuesday night so hopefully
       is much better than the past two weeks

       A shocking decision indeed although he did seem to be some way
       behind play.  The assistant should have had a clear view though
       so why no help from him?

       I thought for a moment I was watching highlights from Franklins
       Garden and not Sixfields. Poor from a usually better referee

       The Saints were also live on BT Sports at the same time just a
       mile down the road (BOGOF deal apparently), Charlie Goode
       probably forgot which channel he was on...  ;D

       I do have some sympathy.  At the start of the move he has had to
       check back to avoid getting mixed up in play and then the ball
       is quickly played forward, so his distance from the incident can
       certainly be forgiven.  Also doesn't help that the pull back is
       on the far side to the assistant so pretty much impossible for
       him to give.
       It's obviously a clearly wrong decision, but I always try to
       look at why it might have happened and there are extenuating
       circumstances here.
