Pick of the games for me go to Carl Brook and Tom Kirk at the
bottom of league one and then to a playoff clash for Alan Young
in league two. Robert Massey-Ellis gets the big midweek game in
the national league at the top of the table.
Jeremy Simpson joining me on the long trip to Cumbria on
Saturday - I know he gets some stick on here but not an official
i’ve seen often at all. Then Scott Jackson, someone I don’t rate
very highly, on the rescheduled match at Meadow Lane. Hopefully
my U’s continue their hot streak and I have little to report
back on!

Read my report about Scott Jackson on 5th January. He’s the
first time I’ve seen him live and I thought he was good.
As for us, another ref we’ve never had. This time Jamie
O’Connor! Anyone have any clue about him?

"Robert Massey-Ellis gets the big midweek game in the national

Given the number of referees who started the season as National
League referees but have had FL games I am somewhat surprised at
this appointment. Pleased but surprised
Hope the ball runs kindly. Its a big game

We had Jamie O’Connor against Accrington last month - absolutely
fine, he just felt a little bit inexperienced at this level to
deal with some of the tricks, but for a newbie, promising. Very
tall is my only other note!

It’s been a while since the card shark from Surrey was in the
mix.
Let’s hope he returns to his excellent form he regularly shows
in the middle.

Anyone seen Stephen Parkinson in the middle this season? Of the
four NL officials we had towards the end of last season, he was
the weakest, but perhaps has come on since. Don't think I'll be
in Birkenhead to see him in action at the weekend.
I'm afraid that every time I've seen Jeremy Simpson in action,
my impression has not been favourable. Perhaps I've just been
unlucky...

Jamie O’Connor I liked when he did our game at Cheltenham, think
that was his first game on the EFL. He missed an early penalty
for us, deeming it just outside the area but it was a tricky one
so I prefer to base him off the rest of his performance.
I was a fan of Simpson until he gave a handball penalty to
Swindon at Valley Parade in 2022, the most frustrated I’ve ever
been by a decision. It was a guess and it was wrong, an SG2
should have known better
Andrew Humphries for us. Anyone seen him before?

Known Jamie O'Connor for a long time. Sound referee who is
extremely good at his job. Won't go far wrong with him - solid
pair of hands
