       James Linington with no less than 4 appointments but all as
       Fourth Official. Is he returning from injury maybe?

       Championship returns for Jeremy Simpson and Josh Smith. That
       will be Smith's 18th Championship match of the season, just a
       third of those involving Ipswich.

       This is quite bizarre and I suspect something fishy is going on.
       This will mean JJ will have had FIFTEEN 4th O appointments since
       the start of the year and only 1 middle. I don’t think he can be
       injured as, if he is, he couldn’t take over if the match referee
       were injured.
       If someone at SG 2 is trying to make a disciplinary point then
       it seems a rather weird way of doing so. I can’t recall any of
       his games this season being so bad that he is being punished but
       maybe others can. As one of SG2’s most experienced and most
       reliable “safe hands” this doesn’t seem to stack up in my
       opinion.
       Does anyone know who is responsible for SG2 appointments?

       I didn't realise JJ has had that many 4O appointments, Hendo. I
       take your point re injury/taking over a game. I just couldn't
       think of any other explanation for his appointments. Quite
       bizzare, as you say.

       Unless Barrott is potentially at Turf Moor on Sunday for the TV
       game (he had the reverse), looks like Allison is getting a 2nd
       PL game as he isn't here or in L1/2. Unless he has the weekend
       off?

       A decent test for Sunny Singh Gill at Sunderland on the
       Wednesday night.
       Royalty for the M4 derby at Ashton Gate and a nice long trip for
       Stroud at Hull.
       I look forward to hearing from our esteemed Plymouth reporters
       on how Josh Smith does as he has been out of the appointments
       until recently.

       I spoke to someone who works where they train.  They saw
       Linington doing his coaching badges.  Could be moving over.
       The appointments I believe are made by Alan Wiley

       Surely this has to be a joke I get teams will get some refs two
       or three times a season but this is Josh smiths 7th Ipswich game
       this season. How come we have not had Langford Davies or even
       Simpson this season.
