       Robert Madley returning after injury I believe. Anthony
       Backhouse with what seems to be the standout game in L1, Derby v
       Ipswich, and Lewis Smith with another L1 game in his first few
       months on the list. It would not surprise me if both are
       considered for promotion before long, along with Rebecca Welch,
       to fill the vacancies created by the almost inevitable promotion
       of Darren Bond and Tim Robinson. Benjamin Speedie at L Orient
       and Simon Mather at Northampton seem to have the standout games
       in L2, along with Adam Herczeg at Stockport on Friday night.

       Will be my first time seeing Sunny Singh Gill in the middle.
       Will be interesting seeing how his refereeing style compares to
       his Dad.

       I've seen him twice this season and he was much better than his
       dad, although I never really rated him, to be honest.

       I have to say I have watched a lot of referees in my time but I
       did see Mr Singh Gill this season and was rather struck by his
       lack of movement. Whether it is an attempt to appear in control
       or not I’m not sure but a lazier looking referee at that level I
       have not seen.
       Hopefully his coach has pointed this out and you see a marked
       improvement.
       It was such an ‘I don’t care’ body language it was quite
       startling.
       I did see his father referee a number of times also but I don’t
       remember anything negative about him which is always a good sign
       isn’t it. Perhaps he could offer some tips on looking interested
       at least

       First impressions of Mr Sunny Singh Gill were mixed. He gave a
       first YC to Harrogate's O'Connor for a push, where he might have
       managed with just giving a free-kick. The same player then takes
       out a Rovers player with a reckless challenge from behind,
       should be a YC but in context could just about understand the
       final warning. When the same player commits a further foul
       deserving a caution and again nothing more than a word, then you
       start to wonder. It didn't stop him issuing YCs for other fouls
       which were less deserving than the second of O'Connor's. On the
       plus side, his positioning seemed good and while he wasn't as
       mobile as some, usually seemed to be in the right place to give
       the call and on a couple of occasions intervene quickly to
       prevent things kicking off.

       Boyeson busy with handing out cards this afternoon once again…
       That’s twenty yellows in two games for him… a busy lad!

       Oh dear Antony Backhouse, hope that wasn’t a chance of promotion
       today at Pride Park, very disappointing performance for such a
       high stake game. Back to the conference league for you! (And
       Derby were also very bad, so not a sore loser)

       I went to Doncaster v Crewe. Ross Joyce didn't have much to do
       really, quite a dead game with nothing at stake. Was a bit
       confused how Donny got away with no yellow cards, but at least
       Ross was consistent with both teams. Got nothing wrong( well
       Simon Clayton did giving a throwing the wrong way but nothing
       major.) Well done Mr Joyce and his team.

       From the other side of the fence, I didn't think Mr Backhouse
       was as bad as many referees we have seen this season.
       However, his performance raises an age old moan of mine, why
       punish two minor time wasting occasions with YCs but allow a
       rugby tackle & a late tackle, that subsequently sees the injured
       player taken off, go unpunished??
