       Hartlepool United FC (First Team) v Eastleigh FC (First Team)
       National League - Premier
       Referee: O'Connor, Jamie
       Assistant Referee: Parker, Martin
       Assistant Referee: Rushworth, Stephen
       Fourth Official: Jones, David
       As usual, was for the most part impressed by Jamie O’Connor.
       Gave us a red card quite early in the first half and I agree it
       was the right decision. Maybe made some poorer decisions later
       on in the game and was very lenient with yellows, specifically
       for time wasting. Maybe missed some clear fouls but definitely
       wouldn’t have issues with him having another pools game.
       Solihull away for us next week, be interesting to see who we
       get.

       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?!
       [/quote]
       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!
       [/quote]
       I believe Zac Kennard-Kettle will be the referee. Or possibly
       Paul Marsden.
       [/quote]
       Can’t be Kettle jr, he just had port vale yesterday!
       [/quote]
       Shame.

       As I pointed out when this was mentioned when we had him at
       Boston on the opening day of the season, Trevor seemed to
       reserve his antics away from us and young Zac had a fairly
       decent game in Lincolnshire.

       In a word, No. Our keeper was pratting around all game and Steve
       rightly yellow carded him. Port Vale next Monday, I think we
       shall see SG2 or perhaps an experienced EFL ref (but hopefully
       not Seb or Sunny). Would have been tailor made for Keith Stroud
       but not anymore.
       Edit - sorry, I was responding to Ryan's post about the Crewe
       goalie being yellow carded for time wasting, but forgot to
       include the post.

       Going back to dubious penalties, the one given by James Oldham
       in the Newport game seemed as poor a call as the penalty awarded
       in the Crewe match.

       We did enjoy reporting on Kettle Snr in the past…. Plenty of
       maverick decisions and random abominations to which he was prone
       to, which many esteemed correspondents on here have witnessed in
       spades over the last ten to fifteen years.
       I’ve not seen Kettle Jnr yet so can’t pass comment on his
       progression, but I do hope that he succeeds in his refereeing
       career and makes a positive contribution to matches he
       officiates.
       As for James Durkin, if he is half as good as his father was,
       then we will have an outstanding official.
