I'm not terribly surprised to see SG2 Anthony Backhouse on the
Crewe v table-topping Gills game in L2. I saw Anthony in his
early days on the list and was impressed, although he has been
injury and a bit prang-prone since then. I wish him and his team
well on Saturday. And before you ask, I'm not sure whether I
shall be there to see him or whether injury to my arm from a
combined Covid / flu jab will keep me away. Fingers crossed on
this one. Noting another SG2, Sunny Singh Gill on a NL outing,
along with another NL outing for Darren Drysdale.

Mention on SG2 of 'missing' referees reminds me, does anyone
know what has happened to Chris Pollard? He's on the list for
2024/5 but has not refereed a game since 13th January when he
refereed Forest Green v Harrogate. I saw him at Gresty Road a
while back and was not wildly impressed, but I hope he's not
suffered a serious injury, which has laid him low for a long
time, as has happened with other referees in the past.

Nice looking games for Lee Swabey and Sam Purkiss in there, Tom
Kirk seems to have had a lot of TV appointments and Adam Herczeg
gets perhaps the first “six pointer” of the league two season.
Some big hitters for this level in non league is a bit of a
surprise as already noted.
Tom Parsons for us, i’ve only seen him once and he was pretty
good, although I seem to recall a few negative posts about him
in the past.

Thank you aaa. So nothing for Chris since AFC Wimbledon v
Ramsgate in the FA Cup on 4th December 2023, with nothing in the
League since Stevenage v Fleetwood the week before. He is still
on the list so presumably didn't resign for any reason, and his
absence and replacement on the Forest Green game suggests it was
injury related. I wish him well.

In what looked like a quiet afternoon for Tom, he made a bit of
a dog’s dinner of the last 20 minutes or so. A really tame match
for the majority, the bookings in the first half I’d need to see
again but looked about right. The only big decision he had to
make unfortunately he really got wrong. Mellish hauling down
Taylor after being booked in the 1st minute, a routine yellow
card and instead Tom pulled over the Carlisle captain and gave
Mellish just a warning. It was just the most simple decision for
a second yellow card, i’m really disappointed in Tom’s decision
there.
The only other decision he got wrong was a crunching but fair
tackle by McDonell penalised with a foul and a yellow card. My
only other frustration was the two times Carlisle players sat on
the floor and needed treatment, coincidentally as their manager
wanted to give instructions, but that’s not fair to pin on Tom
personally. A frustrating day where both my U’s and team ref
could have done a bit better.
Edit - the other quite hilarious decision in injury time where a
Carlisle player booted the ball into Gordon’s face, Gordon went
down holding his face and Tom gave a U’s corner!

Crewe Alexandra FC (First Team) v Gillingham FC (First Team)
Football League 2
Referee: Backhouse, Anthony
Assistant Referee: James, Alex
Assistant Referee: Gilroy, Hugh
Fourth Official: Williams, Ryan
I don’t really know what to make of this performance from
Anthony. There were parts of it where he deserves praise, like
advantages, however there’s other parts where the mind boggles.
A lot of soft free kicks went towards Gillingham, at least it
felt that way. Consistency in bookings was an issue because
Crewe received all 3 bookings from the game, however how
Gillingham didn’t get one for several fouls by the same player
was somewhat questionable. Anthony and team weren’t as bad as
Crewe fans made out at the game. A solid 6/10 for me.

Sorry I couldn't be with you. It sounded as though I missed a
fine Crewe performance.
