I saw David Rock at Crewe v Cambridge last season in L2, one of
his earliest games on the FL. A slightly older looking chap than
some newbies, I was not impressed. The Crewe red card was
contentious after 20 mins, but the penalty award which
ultimately gave Cambridge a 2-3 win was one of the worst I've
ever seen, Ng clearly playing the ball and not touching the
opponent. I imagine David has improved since then.

He had a good game at Lincoln last night was an easy game though

Having seen a fair bit of both teams over the last couple of
years, they are not two that I'd have picked for an "easy game".
Perhaps he made it easy.
I'd seen David Rock many times in his non-league career and he
was, for me, an outstanding official if the two teams wanted to
play football. If he had a problem it was with "difficult"
teams.

Very dubious red card from Bobby Madley at Accrington. Tackle
from behind in the box but player initially claiming it wasn't a
penalty because he got the ball makes it very difficult to say
he wasn't attempting to win it. Red card left Accrington with 10
men for 75 minutes, 1-0 lead becoming a 2-1 defeat.

Watched him do Tranmere v Stevenage a few weeks ago. Looks to
have put on a few pounds, started a bit whistle happy then eased
off. The main area of contention was in the AR’s domain, 2
occasions balls bouncing off the bar adjudged not to have
crossed the line. No mistakes from Mr Madley but in this game he
didn’t stand out as anything out of the ordinary.

Never was. A mediocre ref who climbed higher up the ladder than
his abilities merited in my humble opinion but I am sure others
will disagree

Sam Allison might as well move to Lancashire!
Fleetwood last Saturday, Wigan on Tuesday and Morecambe
tomorrow.

I assume was seen as a genuine attempt to play ball (so yellow
card) as opposed to good tackle?

It's nice to see a referee with a "proper" job and not some
comfy County FA Referees' Development role.
He's a very decent referee too.

What's his line of work?
Mr Allison was highly thought of in his NL days, but then seemed
to lose his way a bit. Not seen him in action since his
promotion to the FL list.
