       Coming back after injury. Withdrew from appointment on 2nd
       weekend as presumably not quite match fit but refereed the
       Wimbledon v Ipswich match last week. I assume he came through
       that ok and suspect this is another game to consolidate match
       fitness during the international break.

       No, but given the Southern nature of the National League,
       trekking up to Oldham seems a tad unnecessary (Take it from me,
       driving 6 miles there is also unnecessary!).
       I get that he could be in the area for other reasons, before
       anyone says it, but my point was that it's a stand out
       appointment.

       Obviously very happy with the appointment but, unless he has
       other reasons for wanting to be in the area, surely it's madness
       for him to travel 500 miles - possibly 10 hours in a car to
       enhance his fitness. And yes it's the first real stand out
       appointment since the new National List pooling.

       He certainly seemed to. Whether he was glad there was no extra
       time and straight to penalties, I don't know.

       Eventful day of EFL action, even with a shorter fixture list. 2
       red cards a piece for newbies Zac Kennard-Kettle and Stephen
       Parkinson.
       Referee: Purkiss, Sam
       Assistant Referee: Butler, Stuart
       Assistant Referee: Head, Ryan
       Fourth Official: Farrell, Conor
       For Sam Purkiss and team in Colchester, a really difficult game
       to manage I thought. First thing to note was a change at half
       time  with Conor Farrell and Stuart Butler swapping roles.
       Stuart didn’t seem to pull up, so hopefully just precautionary.
       Lots of penalty appeals in the “seen them given” camp. The one
       that was awarded looks incorrect with a tricky camera angle but
       no Colchester players moaned so my assumption is that it was
       correct. But 3 in the second half for Colchester, a shirt pull
       on Taylor and Flanagan and a foul on Hopper which seemed more
       like no penalty than penalty but there was a shove on Edwards
       which did look like a penalty to me. The second yellow was a
       little bit soft but the correct decision still for me. In
       general though, just very inconsistent from Sam, who was rushing
       players right from the start of the game yet never produced a
       card and didn’t add particularly large amounts of injury time.
       It felt like he was trying to be seen to put his mark on it
       without doing anything. Likewise with fouls, a lot that he blew
       up for that wasn’t needed in my view. I sympathise as it was a
       really difficult game to manage but he hasn’t impressed to say
       the least.
