Kettle II for the Crewe contingent on these forum boards…
The Surrey card shark with another game, and a fairly local trip
to Crawley for him.

That is a great game for ZKK, other standouts for Tom Kirk,
Martin Coy and Ollie Yates.
I’ll be at Whaddon Road with Simon Mather, usually reliable, and
I think a new referee for me in Aaron Bannister in the midweek
game. Mather seems to have refereed us in the North West, North
East, the Midlands and now the South West, but never back home
in Essex!

Many a Rochdale and Altrincham supporter were just glad to see
the back of him last Saturday apparently.
I wasn't there but reports weren't overly flattering

As posted elsewhere, I thought he was very good. I haven't read
any dissenting voices from either side online and there were
certainly no moments of controversy at the game that had fans in
uproar, so I'm a bit puzzled why you say that.

Glad to see “usually reliable “ as last night he missed one of
the most obvious incidents of either SFP or VC I have seen in a
long time. It did not affect the result but there will be a
player involved in three matches for which he should be
suspended . My feeling was that he refereed in a disinterested
manner.

So which was it, SFP or VC? If it was the former, presumably it
will have been caught on camera in which case the player will be
banned anyway. If it was the latter then presumably it was off
the ball, in which case it is often hard to blame the referee
for missing it.

I must confess that I have been out of officiating for a long
time and wasn’t aware that at Div 1 level retrospective action
could be taken…whether it will or not is another matter. It was
a bad tackle from behind when the ball was beyond reach for the
tackler so I was not aware that a distinction should be made. In
other words he missed a sending off offence and that is what we
should be worried about.
It is not on the short highlights but is on YouTube extended
along with the commentators comments, some few minutes before
the final whistle.
