Elliot Bell has made rapid upward progress over the last two
years.

Yes, he was refereeing at Step 5 & 6 in just over 18 months ago.

Aiternatively:
Another "One t" previously unheard of, drew JCFC to
Tuesday 16th August 2022
NPL Division 1 West
Mossley 1 v 0 Runcorn Linnets
Elliot Bell (Liverpool FA); Jacob Viera, Adam Sefton.
Arriving very early in Mossley, JCFC opted for an alternative
ascent through the park, in the hope that it would be easier; it
wasn't, but did offer a couple of short flat sections, one a
terrace with an interesting view back down to the railway line.
The pie chips and gravy had been well earned and were greatly
enjoyed.
The name Elliot Bell prompted thoughts of a possible long-lost
sister of Currer, Ellis and Acton, quickly dismissed as silly.
In appearance Mr Bell ticked all the boxes for the typical
modern referee. A little research suggests that he might be
about 24.
It was soon clear that this was to be quite a testing game, with
plenty of physical contact and a degree of macho posturing. Mr
Bell assessed the situation accurately, issuing a deserved
yellow card to a Mossley defender for an attack-stopping foul,
though he was surrounded by the Linnets' posse, claimimg that
the ball had eventually ended up with an attacker in a possibly
advantageous position. Runcorn soon levelled the yellow card
count and took the lead in that competition on 23 minutes, for
recklessly flattening a defender. this prompted a minor
contretemps, quickly calmed, only to restart, fortunately
mildly, when Mr Bell turned away to check on the injured player.
Mr Viera was able to contribute a useful flag for a little tug
on a shirt. On 40 minutes the Runcorn number 7 went for a ball
with a raised foot - carelessly rather than recklessly - and Mr
Bell was right to have just a quiet word. Linnets had a long
shot over the bar on 42 minutes as JCFC was pushed to recall a
shot on target.
Mossley made a good start to the second half - and did indeed
force the Runcorn keeper to make a save. They had the better of
things until three quarter time, but then Runcorn came back, but
neither side could find the target. The Runcorn boss seemed keen
to deliver a tutorial to Mr Bell, but in truth it was not
required. On 80 minutes the home left winger fired a cross hard
into the area, where it was immediately blocked by a defender.
Mr Bell, ideally placed, immediately blew for a penalty. The
posse reappeared, but their protests might have carried more
weight had they not shown too great a propensity to complain
about things earlier. JCFC was in no position to offer a
verdict, so is happy to accept the referee's decision - as was
the Mossley striker who converted the penalty to give Mossley
the win.
Mr Viera took his time noting details of substitutions and on a
couple of occasions Mr Bell whistled for play to resume when his
assistant was marginally short of his position, but there were
few other things to quibble about in a well-judged performance.
His cards were correct - and did the job. His use of the
whistle, sharp but short, was pleasing and he appeared to have a
decent degree of interaction with the players - particularly in
the second half, when his smile was used. His movement was
outstanding in all modes, not just in terms of rapidity, but
also in lateral coverage - no ploughing up and down the middle
here! JCFC was reminded in many ways of a young Darren England -
but then JCFC's judgement is notably fallible. Certainly the
nearest to a purr so far this season.

But then perhaps you wanted the views of someone who knows what
he or she is talking about.

I always value your opinions and observations.
Today may have been a bad day at the office, 2A at Mr Bell's age
may have been achieved a little too soon or I may be a
miserable, pernickety individual.
Altrincham won so I cannot be accused of sour grapes.
Mr Bell today however put in a performance which made Messrs
Marsden and Duckworth appear like Pierluigi Collina in his pomp.

Isn't Bell another super fit member of the ERDG ? Believe he is
a first year 2B.

If he is a first year 2B it was rather an interesting decision
to appoint him to Altrincham v AFC Fylde.
One team chasing the playoffs and the other rock bottom of the
table
