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.
[/quote]
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.
[/quote]
As already stated, it's Fireman Sam. The first black FL referee
since Uriah Rennie.
Older than most "new" referees, he actually had a decent playing
career at semi-pro level.
I'm not sure how or when you think he "lost his way". It took
four years to get through Conference/National League level which
is not unusual for those who do not fit the profile for young,
fast-tracked, often County FA crony, candidates.

I saw him in action a couple of times when Tranmere in the NL,
though missed the 0-0 at Torquay when we finished with 9 men. He
was well thought of then, so thought he might have been promoted
sooner. As you say others have progressed through the rankings
quicker.

First referee to 100 Yellow cards this season: Charles
Breakspear. Who would have thought?!

He hasn’t been as fluent in thrusting out his red card in recent
times, perhaps he is mellowing?

Good to hear that there was a tribute before the Bolton v
Cambridge game last night on the 75th anniversary of the Burnden
Park tragedy when 33 fans were crushed to death during the
Bolton v Stoke FA cup tie. Often known as the 'forgotten
tragedy', it is good that it was remembered 75 years on. RIP.

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.
[/quote]
He had a good game at Lincoln last night was an easy game though
[/quote]
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.
[/quote] I saw David Rock referee last night at Portsmouth v
Sunderland Both appeals Not Penaltys. Strange thing is
Portsmouth Manager,Kenny Jackett blamed the Decisions on the
Referee, and not his teams Terrible performance. He knows he
will be going soon so The alternative is to blame the Officials
as Usual.Man Up and play the game. Strange thing is they don't
moan when the decision is given to them!

As a Posh fan, thought John Busby was good last night. Spot on
with the red card (both yellow card offences), it was good to
see a referee actually issue a caution when deserved early in
the game. The penalty was certainly correct as well. Based on
the performance and appointment i can imagine he is having a
good season.
