       My pre assumptions of Scott Simpson were well off the mark -
       albeit a fairly uneventful game, but no cards at all I think.
       Could have been one in the second half for breaking up a counter
       but I think you can justify no card, wasn’t a clear one. No
       complaints for Scott and team at all, did everything they needed
       to do and put in a very good showing.

       Darren Drysdale for Rovers v Milton Keynes yesterday.
       I don't warm to Mr Drysdale, as he seems to project an arrogant
       persona when refereeing. However, thought he got most things
       correct in this match. He seemed to let a lot go, there were two
       possible fouls on Rovers players before the award of a corner
       leading to the late Milton Keynes winner, but it was consistent
       with his approach throughout the game. One good piece of
       teamwork, in blowing up for a foul involving an elbow, where he
       consulted with his 4O before deciding a free-kick was sufficient
       sanction.
       There was an incident after the literal last minute winner,
       where someone from the Milton Keynes bench apparently
       threw/squirted water into the home Paddock, with an unsurprising
       reaction from the home fans and police involvement. Though have
       also seen a suggestion it was a response to something done by
       the fans behind the bench. Mr Drysdale didn't take any action at
       the time, perhaps unable to see the incident, but hopefully will
       feature in his match report.

       Sadly, it has been confirmed that Bolton fan Iain Purslow, 71,
       passed away after suffering a cardiac arrest in the 29th minute
       of the match between Bolton and Cheltenham.

       Unfortunately, there’s been allegations of racism directed
       towards one of the assistants. Carlisle, along with police, are
       investigating - hopefully a swift and severe punishment is
       enforced to anyone involved.

       This behaviour from a minority of absolute knuckleheads seems,
       regretfully, to be getting more common these days.
       I hope the perpetrators of this disgusting abuse are swiftly
       brought to justice and banned for life from every single ground.

       Hope he feels the full weight of the law and is banned from any
       football related activities for life.
       Poor AR has only just been promoted - welcome to the football
       league... Hope someone is giving him any support he may need.

       We’ve already had notice from Salford about the concerns over
       the game going ahead with over 3 and a half days to go. Could be
       a short fixture by Saturday lunchtime. I’m sure Kirsty Dowle
       wouldn’t mind avoiding refereeing 2 games in less than 48 hours!

       While the early warning is commendable, I feel you may be a
       little premature with the suggestion of a much shortened fixture
       list.
       The temperatures in most parts are forecast to be above freezing
       from around Thursday morning/lunchtime, so at least 48 hours
       before the Saturday 3pm kick offs, getting up to the almost
       tropical daytime temps of 4-6 degrees Thu/Fri/Sat, giving ample
       time for any frost to come of the ground.
       If that forecast is correct, I'd expect very few EFL games to be
       called off at the weekend, especially as a lot of clubs have
       frost covers which can protect down to around -3 anyway.

       Agreed, and 'egg on the face' comes to mind. On the other hand,
       there are warnings of gales for Sunday, and fans of a certain PL
       team on the South coast and those from Merseside may want to
       take note! You heard it here first.
