Looking at the EFL referee appointments on the official website,
Ruebyn Ricardo is doing the Crewe game.
[/quote]
Oliver Mackey now taken over the Gloucester City v Chorley
fixture and Ruebyn as expected still on the Crewe fixture.
Ruebyn was one of the few 2Bs announced to be in the EDRP
(another post showed his name included), goes to show those
involved are clearly impressed with him given some fantastic
appointments for him this season
[/quote]
A cynic might suggest that the appointments are coming in order
to justify the EDRP rather than demonstrating how well it is
working. I have insufficient evidence to comment either way.

It looks as if Mr Haines will never return to Spotland ;)
[/quote]
Maybe He intends to do another season but in the national
league.
[/quote]
I wonder whether Andy will call it a day after the game at
Burton on Wednesday. I heard it said that he wanted to do one
more season but that was at the end of last season. His first
game was Chester 0 Chesterfield 0 in August 2007, so no question
of returning to the ground where it all started. His first visit
to Spotland was Rochdale v Macclesfield in Sept 2007. It will be
interesting to see whether he features as a referee in the final
day appointments.

Andy Woolmer swapping over with Ollie Yates. I can only guess
that is to keep a Northampton official away from a Stockport
match at this important stage.

Crewe V Swindon, the EFL debut match for Ruebyn Ricardo. I had
high hopes for him today, after hearing his success in non -
league. Today, he seemed to have some sort of control over the
game but, imo, made a few wrong decisions. I decided to note
down the incidents I thought he got wrong. First 45 mins,
excellent. Now in the 52nd min, Crewe had a penalty shout, but
Ruebyn denied the shouts. From where I was seated, it looked at
pen as the Crewe attacker was sandwiched between two Swindon
defenders, with one pulling him down, preventing him from
jumping and heading the ball. The crowd definitely got on the
referees back after this. Then in the 82nd minute, the ball got
whipped in from a Crewe winger, a Swindon defender got a touch
on it, and Crewe left it to go out for a throw in but Ruebyn
gave it to Swindon although it was clear that it got a
deflection. He warned the Swindon keeper on time wasting once or
twice, but surprisingly never booked him after the Swindon no 1
repeatedly time wasted. The 2nd assistant gave 2 wrong offside
calls, one where the Crewe attacker was in his own half!!! On a
positive, Ruebyn was on his toes, keeping up with play and was
quick to judge fouls. 7/10 for Mr. Ricardo for me. A good debut,
but no doubt could've been better. (Also really helped that he
had an experienced 4th official with Robert Lewis, as when the
officials were warming up, he was speaking to Ruebyn, and
clearly explaining different situations. Well done Robert)

I'm not sure what his role was, but Lee Mason was parked in
front of me at Spotland today. He was dressed for business and
had an iPad with him.

Perhaps his presence inspired a Rochdale win at home for a
change!

Simon Mather reducing Barrow to 9 players this afternoon at
Hartlepool. Plus a sackful of yellows too.

I was at the match today and also had high hopes for Ruebyn.
However, I was more than satisfied with his performance and
thought that he oozed calmness, fitness, control, and yes,
class. Quite the best I've seen at Crewe for many a long while.
As regards the incidents, I didn't think the 52nd minute
incident was a penalty, yes, RR was wrong to award Swindon a
throw and he was let down by a couple of duff flags from the AR
on the nearside which, to his credit, he went along with. If
this was a trial game, I believe Ruebyn passed with flying
colours and I look forward to seeing him again at the Alex as a
full EFL referee in the very near future. PS as a matter of
interest, I wonder what the age gap is between Ruebyn and 4O Rob
Lewis. It must be considerable. Gives a new meaning perhaps to
'grandad and grandson'!

Robert Lewis turned 53 on 22nd April, and RR is 25. So, yes,
quite the age gap! Like I said, from where I was seated, it
looked a pen. But definitely the best at GR this season,
although Neil Hair comes close.
