       In to what is a massive game at the top of L2, it goes to an
       inexperienced referee in Stephen Parkinson. I actually give up
       now. Crewe have been given 3 inexperienced, national league,
       last season, refs in 3 games. That isn’t right. Are we the
       Fulham of league two? It certainly looks that way considering we
       had 4 last season.

       You're League 2 Crewe Alexandra, not Galatasaray (although some
       of your younger fans might be more suited to the Turkish club
       going off my last visit to Gresty Road).

       Crewe have had 3 newbies to the efl in the past 3 games. How is
       that fair? James Durkin, John Mulligan and now Stephen
       Parkinson. I’m a young fan myself here. I don’t know what the
       away end is like, obviously, but I have heard a few complaints
       about it. Crewe are looking to extend and improve it, as there
       is land behind it that can be bought.

       Accy Stanley have had 4 new refs in League Games so far this
       season plus one last Saturday in the FA Cup and 2 in the EFL
       Trophy. Get over it, you're not being singled out for this

       I have to say I was not impressed with Stephen Parkinson's
       performance at Crewe Alex last season, far and away the worst of
       the 'newbies' we had during the season. But please don't give up
       on us Ryan, keep taking the vitamin tablets and say to yourself,
       it couldn't get any worse at the Alex than last Saturday. I'm
       glad I wasn't there.

       That’s not my point. Actually, 4 this season if you technically
       include James Oldham in our EFL trophy game. What I’m trying to
       say is that we’ve had 3 in a row, and 2 haven’t been impressive.
       In what is a big game at the top of L2, does this newbie ref
       need it now? It will either be a game where he will smash, or
       loses the plot completely.

       I saw Stephen Parkinson as a natural fan. The game was Newport v
       Port Vale and he lost control and everything became a bit
       random. He sent two Newport players off.
       Maybe a Pick ‘n’ Mix referee - never know what you’ll get.
       🤷‍♂️

       I can understand your frustration but I think to understand this
       you need to look at the league as a whole. Over the last couple
       of League 2 seasons, the table has been so so close with teams
       in 15th and 16th closer to the playoffs than relegation. By this
       logic, it would seem that many league two games are ‘massive’.
       Secondly, if you’re a National League referee, the next step up
       is League one and two. Therefore, the only way you can get
       promoted is either through merit on national league performance
       or solid EFL performances. Given the current state of league
       two, maybe it’s better for a ‘newbie’ to go in league one
       despite there are some significantly bigger teams in there.
       Elliot Bell seems to have had a lot of league one games but not
       many league two. If I remember correctly, there seemed to be
       positive feedback about Mr Bell’s performance on BBC at
       Northampton so maybe he’s adapted better in league one.
       This is all just my thoughts but I don’t believe it’s right to
       question why just your team are getting EFL ‘newbies’. Did you
       not have SG2 Anthony Backhouse a few weeks ago vs Gillingham?
       I’m sure more experienced referees will come your way soon
