:( Second home game in a row and 4th overall for us this season
I think, it’s been consistent rain for a few hours a day for a
while now, our pitch is a mess. Hate Saturdays with no
football!

Crewe Alexandra FC (First Team) v Morecambe FC (First Team)
Football League 2
Referee: Hallam, Farai
Assistant Referee: Harty, Thomas
Assistant Referee: Gratton, Danny
Fourth Official: Mather, Simon
Another afternoon at the Alex and another triallist to see and
comment on. When the teams came out, I thought I might be seeing
Ruebyn Ricardo for the second time as Farai was a dead ringer
for RR - young, tall, dark and looking terribly imposing and
fit. In fact Farai was also very like Stephen Parkinson, another
triallist who we saw earlier in the year at Crewe, so maybe
being young, tall and fit is a pre-requisite for being on the
'Elite' team list. Anyway, to the game, I thought Farai was good
for the first 25 minutes or so, but then, like Stephen, he
started to lose the plot and miss some fairly obvious fouls. And
how a Crewe player got away without a card for hauling down a
Morecambe player as he set off towards goal, I do not know. The
pattern continued after the break and the game teetered on the
brink of becoming ugly.. Yellow cards were correct but fouls
continued to be missed and there didn't seem to be much rapport
with the players. Perhaps that will come with time and
experience. In 1-2-3 order, I would place Farai second. He was
certainly better than Parkinson but not as good as Ricardo.
Unlike some in the Main Stand, I don't blame Farai in any way
for the way Crewe threw the game away, it had to be seen to be
believed, and I wish him every success in the future.

Yeah, not much more to add really. However, I thought Crewe
should’ve had at least one penalty for some obvious shirt pulls
and more a less a wrestling move!

I thought he looked the part as previously stated, but how the
Morecambe no 38 was never cautioned after committing numerous
foul's was a surprise. On the whole i thought he was
inconsistent with his recognition of offences as the game went
on, and how he never awarded a penalty when the Crewe N5 was
held and then pulled down was astonishing.
I think he could have the makings of a good referee with more
experience, but yesterday was not the best of performances.

Backhouse is another referee who seems to be hampered by
injuries - a couple of seasons ago he was picking up great
appointments and featured in the Championship appointments
aswell and was destined for big things but he got injured was
out for a while and seems to be hampered with them in recent
times A shame as I thought he was excellent when he first
burst onto the scene

Fully agree, having seen the 'wrestling move' above. The
wrestling actually began in the first half when the Crewe player
went down rather too easily for my liking, but the move shown on
Twitter (above) in the 2nd half was definitely a penalty. Both
players were later cautioned for 'handbags' at a corner which
was probably deserved. I did laugh in the 2nd half when Charlie
Kirk - returning to the Alex after a less than successful spell
in L1 - took a corner on the left which was not even close to
being in the corner quadrant. If he had gone any further
forward, he would have been in the penalty area. However, Farai
- perhaps understandably - was more concerned with what was
going on in the goalmouth and did not spot this gamesmanship,
and fortunately for him, nothing came of it.
