       Pleased for him. I personally thought the original sanction was
       too harsh although could understand the reasoning.
       I hope he will be allowed by everyone to just get on with it and
       maybe with some hard work he will be able to work his way back
       up the leagues again. I'm sure he will grasp the opportunity
       with both hands.
       Welcome back Bobby.

       I think this is the correct decision. Whilst I was never
       completely convinced by Madley as a PL referee, I do feel the
       situation could have been handled differently by the powers that
       be. However, now the decision has been made, I would rather they
       allowed him to return this season with mid-table fixtures to
       help him get used to the English game again.
       Incidentally, I don't think it will be too long before we see
       him back in the select group.

       Very happy for him, he is a nice guy who goes out of his way to
       help referees of all levels, so very much a welcome back.
       Presume this will mean the end of his social media presence
       though as I can't see the FA allowing that to continue.

       Think putting him back on the NL is harsh, should have at least
       put him back onto SG2 as he will still have been one of the
       better refs on SG2

       I am so pleased for him the correct decision and a warning to
       all others that choose to use social media’s foolishly as I
       commented in the original posting a few months ago, television
       sports commentator recorded on camera spitting at a young
       fan........still keeps his job!
       All the best for the coming fixtures and seasons Bobby prior to
       even blowing a whistle a wiser man I believe that will put this
       behind him I am sure

       Sorry one and all, I’m going against the feelings here.
       Irrespective of the fact I did not think he was a top ref before
       he was sacked. He did wrong and was punished. IMO he should not
       have been allowed back in this Country as a FL ref. No doubt he
       will be fast tracked back to the PL. If he was sacked from most
       other professions. Would he have been allowed back. Absolutely
       NOT. Therefore he should not have been allowed back here. A very
       poof decision .

       He made a comment on social media, he went abroad, however, you
       think that he should not have been allowed back into the
       country. I suppose that you are in complete agreement that those
       who have committed far worse crimes and who were scheduled to be
       deported, although they are not British, should be allowed to
       stay in this country as stated by our legal system.
       Madley was foolish, however, his treatment was very much in line
       with the treatment dished out to those who are not politically
       correct and was way over the top. Yes, he has definitely
       offended some people, however, he has apologised and has not
       committed any crime as far as the legal system is concerned, so
       why should he not be allowed to return to his own country and
       follow his profession?

       He could certainly have been reinstated to take games in Leagues
       1 & 2.  Madley was never entirely convincing at top level.
       However, when you see the shocking standard in 1 & 2 this season
       he would certainly be in the top handful.

       I think you're confusing him with Ronnie Biggs!

       So as the dust finally settles on this episode, a demotion is
       the final outcome (an appeal would potentially have got to this
       outcome quicker). I do not think this ultimate outcome can be
       argued with, a sanction had to be imposed, however the original
       sanction was way too extreme.
