       Mr Drysdale is not a Rovers favourite, mainly due to failing to
       disallow a clear handball goal by Grimsby a few years ago. I was
       also disappointed that he took no action, after the Milton
       Keynes opening scorer goaded the home crowd without obvious
       cause last season. Otherwise he was fine in that game.

       I’m sure the admins will update but the club website now has
       Matt Corlett to take charge rather than Darren Drysdale, so a
       switch up for Monday night too

       Matt Corlett is now down for both matches!

       I will be going tomorrow to watch Ruebyn Ricardo in action. Not
       sure if Acme is going. His second visit to Mornflake stadium,
       with his first being on 29th April 2023, Crewe v Swindon. His
       debut in the EFL.

       Probably not, only just back from holiday. I was impressed with
       Ruebyn last time and I wish him well for tomorrow.

       In a game which was really easy to manage, Ruebyn somehow
       managed to get the home fans really annoyed. Most of the game he
       was fine, but I didn’t like how we wasn’t giving any shirt
       pulling at all - especially on our striker. One decision that
       was an absolute shocker was: our winger running down the wing,
       Harrogate’s defender basically slices him from behind - no free
       kick, but then gives handball against our attacker. At this
       point, the home fans were livid. Our manager got booked for
       dissent, I’d imagine, after not giving that free kick. It was
       right in front of me, and the defender had no intention of
       getting the ball at all, and was just wanting to take our
       attacker out. Besides that, he didn’t get much else wrong as
       such. Final couple of minutes finished under heavy rain and
       thunder! Safe to say Ruebyn and team were quick to get off the
       pitch following the storm! Crewe cooking up a storm (literally!)

       Oh and another thing to add. Ruebyn didn’t let Harrogate’s
       manager return the ball to our player? To set the scene. Crewe
       1-0 Harrogate at the time. Ball goes out for a Crewe throw and
       the ball lands right near Simon Weaver (Harrogate manager). He
       goes to pick it up and give it to the Crewe player, but Ruebyn
       whistles and tells him to not do that? What!!? It wasn’t like
       Simon was going to waste time was it?

       Colchester United FC (First Team) v Tranmere Rovers FC (First
       Team)
       Football League 2
       Referee: Corlett, Matt
       Assistant Referee: Aylott, Andrew
       Assistant Referee: Cresswell, Alan
       Fourth Official: Bennett, Andy
       A pretty routine day for team ref, in a fairly physical game but
       without any major incidents or flashpoints. A bit inconsistent
       from Matt Corlett though, punishing some fouls and not awarding
       similar ones and similarly being strict about throw in positions
       at times and others not worrying. Nothing awful and nothing to
       moan about strongly, but simply put, quite a forgettable
       performance!

       I've not seen any of the action, which from a Tranmere
       perspective is probably a mercy, but our commentary team weren't
       impressed with his eagerness to dish out cautions; 3 to Rovers
       in the first twenty minutes or so.

       Other than being quite physical, a pretty poor showing from your
       lot i’m afraid. Jennings was for backchat when a home player
       went down with a head injury - it was up the other end so didn’t
       have a great view of it but he did get up quickly. Bradshaw was
       for jostling with Tovide, definite yellow if he gives the foul
       but other refs may have let it go. I can’t remember Khan’s one,
       although he kicked the ball away in the second half and a
       stricter ref may have sent him off for that.

       Mr Hallam Peterborough  v Bristol Rovers
       First appointment for Mr Hallam at this level and he didn't look
       out of place in my opinion.
       Very fit and up with play with good communication,  although he
       has a strange upright running style, didn't stop him from moving
       around the pitch just looked different.
       Let a lot go but in the main was consistent in his application.
       As expected some areas for improvement, especially around
       advantage,  which he probably recognised himself,  as in the
       first half tried yo play advantage which didn't materialise but
       didn't bring play back, but in the second same thing led to play
       coming back for free kick which everyone expected.
       Last 15 minutes got a bit frantic due to Rovers come back and
       his inexperience showed a bit as things he let go previously
       suddenly became fouls to the frustration of the players and
       management of both teams.
       Most impressed with the fact he played 16 mins of additional
       time...this was correct but so often officials would have played
       half that as nobody expected it.
       Overall , more difficult games ahead for him, but certainly a
       very good start.

       I winced (at home) as the thunder and lightning moved in just
       before 5pm but then noted that the game had ended with a Crewe
       win. I had visions of the players being taken off in added time.
       Hope you didn't get too wet on the way home.
