       I am! Was that the late 1-0? I wasn’t there that night
       (typically!)
       My impression is that there’s more “Northern” based referees
       than Southern referees, so we see the same names more than most
       clubs. Carl Brook and Sam Purkiss especially are usually good
       for at least 2 U’s games a season. Carl is usually one of the
       safest pair of hands around in my experience.

       It was, that was a long journey home haha. I think you’re right
       but I imagine that applies to most clubs. We seem to get Ross
       Joyce (M’boro) at Valley Parade every 8-10 games. Fine by me as
       he’s imo the best on national list but does seem a bit
       imbalanced. I understand the reasons though

       The system or Mr Joyce as imbalanced? Or both?? 😀

       I've seen Carl brook a few times. Almost a throwback to a
       different era of officiating and a very good thing too. I'm sure
       he's not technically anywhere near the best but he has a feel
       for the game which makes for really good officiating.

       Crewe Alexandra FC (First Team) v Notts County F.C. (First Team)
       Football League 2
       Referee: Copeland, Steven
       Assistant Referee: McILravey, Ryan  Gough, Callum
       Assistant Referee: Wilding, Darren
       Fourth Official: Ford, Declan
       Oh dear, oh dear, Mr Copeland. For sixty minutes, you were the
       best I've seen at Gresty Road in a long time, with your gorgeous
       yellow shirt shining as a beacon of light in the gathering
       gloom. And then you spoiled it by awarding a penalty to Crewe
       which was, at best, dubious and, at worst, frankly ludicrous.
       What you saw in the challenge in the penalty area, I don't know,
       but it certainly didn't look like a penalty to me or, I have to
       say, the die-hard home fans alongside me in the Main Stand. What
       the County fans thought of the award is probably not printable.
       In fairness, you picked yourself up and there were few if any
       complaints about the red card to the Crewe sub, who had only
       just come on to the field, for a nasty lunge. And the yellow
       cards were spot on as well. A great pity but I hope we may see
       more of you on the EFL as, one incident apart, you were very
       good.
       Steven Copeland - good to see a more mature looking 'newbie' at
       CA and he reminded me of Jon Moss, Scott Duncan and Carl Brook
       in appearance and style. His authoritative style of refereeing
       blended in well and helped to make it an entertaining afternoon
       for fans of both sides. I am sure we shall see more of him.
       The A500 derby at Port Vale next Monday, 1st v 2nd, should be a
       corker. Wonder who we'll get for this one? Another 'newbie'
       perhaps?!

       Notts won’t like that after last season’s debacle in the same
       fixture! Well done to Crewe, flying high again this year.
       Colchester United FC (First Team) v Bradford City FC (First
       Team)
       Football League 2
       Referee: Brook, Carl
       Assistant Referee: Block, Jonathon
       Assistant Referee: Bradley, Alex
       Fourth Official: Da Costa, Anthony
       Unfortunately, “old reliable Carl” let me down a bit today. I’ve
       tried to distance my blue and white tinted glasses from my
       thoughts on his performance, but even then, I think he was off
       the mark today.
       Bradford’s first hurry up from Carl was certainly in the first 5
       minutes, possibly twice in that time and their desire to have a
       game with the ball in play didn’t get any better, which always
       puts pressure on a referee from a home crowd. Several yellows
       were issued in the second half but once those players were on
       yellows, Carl wasn’t interested in issuing a second, so the
       players were quite confident to test their luck. This (combined
       with 4 or 5 Bradford “injuries” - one of which Carl simply
       shrugged to the crowd as if to say “I know what’s happening but
       I can’t do anything!)  led to 10 minutes added time, so well
       done to Carl for at least adding the time on, although I would
       rather have seen that time in the 90 minutes.
       As for the rest of his performance, a strong penalty shout for
       Colchester in the first half - replays are inconclusive for me,
       gut feel is that it should have been but I can’t say for
       definite. Quite a lot of pushing and shoving at set pieces,
       which I think Carl dealt with well and issued bookings where
       needed for Cook and Taylor. AR1 gave an incorrect goal kick when
       the ball had stayed in and was live in the penalty area, so a
       mark down for him in that moment.
       In fairness to the team, Bradford forced them to referee a game
       in a way they probably didn’t want, but it led to frustrating
       viewing from a spectators view. A point earned by Colchester
       very late on, with a feeling of a bit of well earned karma
       following Bradford’s gamesmanship!

       I agree with you Acme. He had a solid game overall besides the
       penalty. With the yellow cards, and particularly the one on our
       keeper, he never gave him any warning at all. Could this booking
       then be considered slightly harsh?
       Do you think that we will have SG2 next Monday? Or some
       experienced refs like Ben Toner, Scott Oldham etc. Will be good
       to see who it is and best of luck to them! I will be at home
       watching this game!

       Haven't seen or read a report of the match so don't know if all
       were justified or not. It equals though the greatest number of
       yellow cards I have ever seen issued in one match, which took
       place several years ago now at the old Boleyn Ground. I forget
       who West Ham's opponents were on that day but not the name of
       the referee who was Martin Bodenham.
