       Funny. I was predicting who we were going to get over the next
       few games, and I said Carl Brook for our game v Tranmere. Good
       luck to him and his team and I’ll be there!

       I shall be at The Valley on Saturday so will be able to get a
       first sighting of Ed Duckworth about whom some esteemed
       contributors on RTR are not neutral in their opinions. I shall
       go with with an open ( some might aver vacant ) mind.

       He has been consistently excellent whenever I have seen him
       which is about four times now.  I hope that's not the kiss of
       death to a very good performance.

       The last time I saw Mr Brook at Prenton Park was the season
       opener v Walsall after fans were allowed back post-covid. A
       rather inconsistent showing in terms of foul detection and
       cautions, capped by a very harsh red card for Chris Merrie,
       although an appeal was rejected. High spot was Mike Dean coming
       out of the crowd to do FO duties for 15 minutes after one of the
       ARs got injured.
       Mr Brook mostly attracts praise on here, so hoping that the
       Walsall game was an off day and he has a good game.

       Colchester United FC (First Team) v Forest Green Rovers (First

       Football League 2

       Assistant Referee: Brown, Stephen

       A decent display from Neil and team in an eventful and
       entertaining game in Essex this afternoon. An early penalty
       awarded correctly, one of those where a defender attempts to
       clear and doesn’t see the attacker coming in and trying to head
       the ball. There did seem to be some sort of kick or stamp off
       the ball while FGR were on the counter by an away player late in
       the first half, hard to see for sure where I was and none of the
       team were likely to spot it if there was an offence with the
       play moving quickly in the other direction.
       I did feel some of FGR’s antics (i.e. spending most of the time
       horizontally on the floor) were a bit much at times and did
       sucker in the officials to more free kicks than were needed.
       Thankfully we came back which made for a far more watchable game
       all round, regardless of the team supported. It ended in
       somewhat comical fashion with Neil getting a ball to the face in
       injury time, thankfully a couple of mins spent checking for a
       concussion was enough and Neil saw out the last 4 or 5 minutes
       without any trouble or controversy.

       12 yellows and a red from Simpson this afternoon, 8 of which
       were in Burton’s direction.
       Not sure what happened there! 🤔

       Is it possible please to quote the match and official(s) for
       each post on performance, as TTFL has done above? Posts can be
       really informative, but it is a bit of a faff having to decide
       where 'Neil' was refereeing in 'Essex' as an example.  'Neil
       Hair, Colchester v Forest Green' would do fine, thank you.

       Assistant Referee: Clayton, Alan
       Assistant Referee: Gratton, Danny
       Fourth Official: Mulraine, Kevin
       A very inconsistent performance yesterday. He seem to give the
       slightest bit of contact every time, where other referees will
       play on. One decision I found baffling was booking our #8 for
       handball. So, Crewe have a shot and it hits a Tranmere player on
       his arm and no penalty was given. Tranmere clear it, and it
       bounces in front of our #8 and hits his hand. He evidently
       didn’t mean to do it yet still gets booked for it? Other than
       that, a very lacklustre game and no one deserved to win!

       I'd agree with the inconsistency assessment, but thought Mr
       Brook let quite a lot go and it was 27 minutes before he gave a
       free-kick award Rovers way. Then towards the end of the game he
       was giving absolutely everything to Tranmere, a few of those
       decisions I'd file under generous.
       The penalty shout was at the opposite end and impossible to tell
       from my vantage point, opposite end of the ground at the side.
       Thought the YC for the Crewe 8 was harsh, ball seemed to hit on
       his body initially then bounced onto his arm. Also having
       stopped the play when Connor Wood was caught by an elbow in the
       face, strangely restarted with a drop-ball to Rovers although
       Crewe in possession when he blew up.
       To illustrate the current different expectation levels of the
       two sides, a lot of the fans on our forums thought it was a good
       game...
