Sorry, fouled up my previous post. I was asking whether Mr
Martin might have had help from the 4O looking at camera footage
from the touchline? If not, a brave and good call from Steve and
his assistant on the nearside not to give the goal.
Looking further on, Peterborough's third and crucial goal looks
offside, does it not?

Carlisle United (First Team) v Wigan Athletic FC (First Team)
FA Cup
Referee: Woods, Martin
Assistant Referee: Clayton, Simon
Assistant Referee: Aspinall, Natalie
Fourth Official: Bell, Mark
I winced when I heard the Radio Cumbria guy commenting for BBC
TV on the early sending off of a Carlisle player for a poor
challenge. It went something like "oh, he's produced a red
card.... he's ruined this FA cup tie.. how is he not supposed to
lead with his studs". Some home bias detected in his comments I
believe. It would have been funny if it had not been so serious.

Swindon Town FC (First Team) v Colchester United FC (First Team)
FA Cup
Referee: Jackson, Scott
Assistant Referee: Carmichael, Marcus
Assistant Referee: Hickman, Andrew
Fourth Official: Kane, Stuart
A mixed bag for Scott Jackson on Saturday at The County Ground.
For the positives, no major errors, kept time well and most
yellows were correct. A well done to AR2 for disallowing a
Swindon goal at the end of the first half, as a shot pinballed
off the goalkeeper, off a Swindon forward and in. It took me a
replay to work out exactly what happened, despite being in line
with it. However, in all 3 games i’ve seen from him, his free
kicks and yellow cards seem to be quite erratic and hard to
predict. He doesn’t seem to communicate much with players,
issuing cards with little explanation.
An average performance from a referee who’s probably found his
level at National List stage.

Two appointments stand out from the rest - Farai Hallam
(ex-professional player with Stevenage) with the first live TV
Cup tie of the weekend. He clearly is going places as he has had
two Championship appointments this term, though the one on
Saturday was washed out. One to watch.
The former MLS American referee Alex Chilowicz has a decent live
gig as well, and assisting him will be fellow Essex official
David Harrison, whom I know well from local cricket. David has
had a few Championship assistant referee appointments, again
along with the other two gents mentioned, are on the radar of
the powers that be.
I still believe Chilowicz will get a trial Premier League game
in the middle towards the end of the season, a game hopefully
between two sides with little on the match. He has had a few VAR
appointments in the Premier League this season so far.
Be interesting to see how these guys perform at the weekend.

Farai Hallam coming on very nicely as you say. Another TV game
for Ben Speedie, he seems to get a lot of those, but I don’t
think he’s had a Champ game yet?
I wouldn’t at all be surprised if you’re right about Chilowicz,
but my theory is that he might not - having seen him two or
three times now, his style of refereeing I don’t think will be
liked enough by the PGMOL to progress that far and I wonder if
they are moving him towards VAR for that exact reason. When you
look at the most recent SG1 referees and trialists - Sam
Barrott, Lewis Smith, Josh Smith, Matt Donohue, they are all
very calm referees, whereas Alex Chilowicz is more in the Bobby
Madley and Mike Dean style of being very animated and can
unintentionally put a bigger spotlight on himself.

Some well made points there….Ben Speedie hasn’t had a
Championship game as far as I’m aware, but gets lots of live FA
Cup matches. Having seen him live once, I wasn’t convinced he
would be quite ready enough for higher level matches. Seems a
little fussy on occasions, but nothing terrible.
As far as Alex Chilowicz is concerned, you have seen him more
often than me and your comment that he can be a bit showy is a
fair one, and a comparison with Mike Dean and Bobby Madley is
also fair. It didn’t stop Dean making a successful career as a
referee, Bobby Madley made a faux pas some years ago which cut
short his Premier League career, but has settled back in nicely
in the Championship.
The other guys you mentioned have been successful as they’re
understated referees, but I think there is room for both, you
need personality to control matches apart from applying the
laws. From what I saw on the TV last time, Chilowicz had a
decent game and tried to let it flow. I still think he needs
time to further adjust to the physicality of the English game.
With the emphasis on pushing more referees up the scale these
days, I still maintain that the American will get his chance,
probably at the back end of the season.

Not sure Thomas Cooke needs to line 2 games in 3 days given the
smaller number of appointments this weekend - and both are good
games at that.
Live on Friday and there will be no love lost in the Staffs
Derby Sunday afternoon
