       He's not an ex-professional by any chance? Howard Webb is quoted
       as saying that he wants more involvement of ex-professionals at
       the highest level, taking World Cup Final referee Markiniac as a
       recent and successful example.

       No, he's not.
       Markiniac is not an ex-professional either. He played amateur
       football to a not particularly high standard.

       Simon Mather has replaced Scott Oldham at Barrow v Rochdale and
       Paul Marsden has replaced Simon Mather as fourth official.

       I've seen the best and worst of Woolmer at Gresty Road over the
       years, let's hope it's the best this time and Crewe win!

       No problems with SG2 Andy Woolmer at Crewe Alex this afternoon.
       In fairness, he didn't have a lot to do to keep control. Yellow
       cards were correct and he had a useful turn of speed for one of
       the oldest and smallest refs on the list. I wonder whether he
       will be seen at Gresty Road again, but he can be pleased with
       his performance this afternoon.

       Northampton Town FC (First Team) v Leyton Orient FC (First Team)
       Football League 2
       Referee: Pollard, Chris
       Assistant Referee: Yates, Paul George, Michael
       Assistant Referee: Cooper, Nicholas
       Fourth Official: Boyeson, Carl Vallance, James
       A couple of strange incidents at Northampton. The first came
       when O's Beckles had a goal disallowed for offside after what
       was described as 'a long consultation between referee and AR'.
       From the camera shot, it looked like a heated exchange rather
       than consultation. Then in added time, Beckles was red carded
       for an elbow near the penalty area. At first, referee Chris
       Pollard gave yellow, but then, following consultation with the
       ARs who had both come on to the pitch, he upgraded it to red. I
       could understand why Pollard consulted the AR on the nearside,
       but what the other AR could have seen from his position on the
       halfway line which caused him to come on to the pitch, I simply
       do not know. Smacked of VAR without Stockley Park and very
       strange in my view.

       Looks like correct decisions to the disallowed goal from the
       free kick… Pete Walton comments on local Radio with explanation
       to conclude the outcome and on EFL website Chris Foy does the
       same… regardless the match official team delivered the correct
       out come and responded to the actions of the Orient players
       violent conduct as I understand it was a stamp after the initial
       foul and caution awarded - I agree that potentially the out come
       was discussed and correct action taken
