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
Team)
Football League 2
Referee: Hair, Neil
Assistant Referee: Kelly, Paul
Assistant Referee: Brown, Stephen
Fourth Official: Da Costa, Anthony
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.

Tranmere Rovers FC (First Team) v Crewe Alexandra FC (First
Team)
Football League 2
Referee: Brook, Carl
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...
