Tranmere Rovers FC v Doncaster Rovers FC
Football League 2
Referee: Tallis, Scott
Assistant Referee: Amphlett, Marvyn
Assistant Referee: Jarvis, Danny
Fourth Official: Khan, Abbas
I had been a little wary when this appointment was announced and
it turned out to be another Scott having a poor Good Friday. His
foul detection was erratic and he seemed to have some very fixed
ideas about what does constitute a foul, in particular a
defending player holding their ground as an attacking player
runs into them, an interpretation which I am uneasy with. The
opening Doncaster goal came from a free-kick, where there
appeared minimal contact. The ball was whipped into the far post
and converted, some home fans thought there had been a push on
Lee O'Connor as the ball was crossed, but having re-viewed the
footage, it's very hard to tell. In the second half, an award
was given to Tranmere in roughly the same position for a similar
challenge, which again looked like minimal contact, but
unfortunately for the hosts no goal resulted. The second came
from a penalty, where the ball appeared to be going out of play
when Mr Tallis deemed Luke McGee the Tranmere keeper took the
Doncaster player down. It was the opposite end of the pitch to
me and the footage isn't clear, not enough to suggest a wrong
call was made.
However the main talking point was a Red Card to Tranmere Rovers
manager Andy Crosby, which appeared bizarre. The ball was kicked
out of play for a Doncaster throw-in and Crosby flicked out his
hand making contact with the ball and the referee came over and
brandished the red. It wasn't a situation where the manager had
kept hold of the ball or kicked it away to delay the re-start.
While it's unclear why the hand was flicked, , the hosts were
trailing, with or without the contact the ball was going to end
up in the stand, so why it required such an extreme sanction is
puzzling. Even more so when Mr Tallis had failed to show a YC to
a Doncaster player moments before who had kicked the ball away
after the decision went against him.

The red card for Crosby is extremely harsh, if not totally
wrong. I very much doubt there would even have been a
conversation had he not sent McCann off a few minutes prior. The
penalty looks clear to me though

Was McCann sent off in this game? I didn't notice at the time
and couldn't find any reference on the Donny website.

I've tried to link for anyone interested about 0:30 in.
Our assistant manager had no issue with the penalty award in the
post-match interview.
Another thing I missed, during the seventh minute applause for
ex-Rovers winger and Rochdale legend Joe Thompson, which was
impeccably observed by the away fans, there was a spell where
the ball was out of play and Mr Tallis joined in the applause. I
don't know if there was a pre-match discussion about slwing the
game down during that minute, which seemed to happen, but a nice
touch of humanity from Scott Tallis there.

Neil Hair and his assistants did the same at Altrincham

Doncaster Rovers FC (First Team) v Colchester United FC (First
Team)
Football League 2
Referee: Young, Alan
Assistant Referee: Brown, Conor
Assistant Referee: Woodward, Daniel
Fourth Official: Newhouse, Paul
Pretty smooth sailing for Alan Young, an average display in an
average and fairly one sided game.
Not lots of moments to mention, he got the yellows correct,
including a first yellow for dissent for Edwards and a second
yellow, which Alan took about 15 seconds to realise but got
there in the end.
I thought foul awarding was a bit inconsistent, with his
assistants perhaps giving softer fouls and Alan letting more go,
but nothing game altering or major. I thought we were poorly
disciplined and could have seen Lisbie get booked for dissent
too, as well as the home manager who seemed to animatedly be in
4O’s ear quite often.
My U’s clinging on to keep their season alive, must win next
week at another hot playoff contender in Salford.

Barrow AFC v Tranmere Rovers FC
Football League 2
Referee: Kirk, Thomas
Assistant Referee: Graham, Jacob
Assistant Referee: Cooke, Thomas
Fourth Official: Jackson, Aaron
I hadn't seen Mr Kirk in action since his first season on the
FL, but he seemed have have picked up some decent appointments
this season, so interested to see how he'd developed. In that
first year, he let a few things go, which led to a loss of
control. In this game, he adopted a different strategy and
seemed to be very whistle-happy, penalising some very minor
contact. It seemed like he came down harder on my team, the
stats support this with a foul count of 18 as opposed to 12 for
the hosts, but it really didn't feel like a 30 foul match. There
were only one or two bad fouls in the game. The key incident in
the game was a potential penalty when Omari Patrick ran into the
Barrow box and seemed to be taken out by two defenders. I had a
different view of the incident stood behind the goal and felt Mr
Kirk's call of no penalty was correct, it looked like Patrick
had run into a dead end and gone to ground too easily. His
fitness and positioning was good, stopped play quickly for
injuries, but came across as a little prickly when talking with
the players.
If this is a typical game for Mr Kirk, it may help his
progression if he could a way of letting the game breathe more,
while not reverting to over-relaxed style of his early days on
the list.
