       Hopefully nothing too serious for James Bell given he has just
       come back from a lengthy lay off.

       Afraid on this showing, it may be time for Mr Boyeson to think
       about hanging up his whistle. Nearly all of the cards came in
       the second half, things coming to a head after a Colchester
       forward was booked for a dive in a penalty shout. That no
       penalty call was from the AR and after a conversation with his
       colleague, he then decided to issue a YC. A few minutes later he
       did award a penalty to the home side, booking two Rovers players
       in the process and from there on it seemed like a card for every
       foul. One, for Rovers forward Harvey Saunders, who fell in the
       box after a clear shirt tug, with Mr Boyeson well behind the
       action and the AR on the opposite side of the pitch looked plain
       wrong.

       I thought the card for diving was quite correct but wasn't so
       sure about the penalty incident shortly after which seemed to
       just involve two players going for the ball and getting into a
       tangle.

       It is most unusual (unprecedented ?) for a referee to be awarded
       a Football League match of such import after just 12 matches in
       his first season at National League level. Can only make one
       wonder whether those 12 matches have been so exceptional or
       whether his position as National Referee Manager for the FA has
       influenced that appointment. We can watch and judge for
       ourselves with his televised match tomorrow.
       Although there are plenty of barely adequate referees in the
       National League, there are also some pretty decent ones who have
       done well for a number of seasons and not got near a
       table-topping Football League match.

       I worked with Ed last season and no disrespect but thought he
       was bang average, and as quite egoistical too. He was RDO of
       Cheshire fa then.
       No surprise his cushy fa job has got him far
