Leigh Doughty has Woodward by his side even when he is in League

Nice to see Tierney and Madley getting up to speed.

Tierney with another game after an u21's game last Friday. Also
Madley with his first domestic game this season.....even though
he appeared as FO for Oliver in the CL playoffs a few weeks into
the domestic season.

AR1 Mark Cunliffe went off with a leg injury after 35 minutes at
Bolton and swapped places with 4th Official Jamie O'Connor.
Although, a fifth person (ref observer?) programmed and held up
the board for him.
Cunliffe came out for the second half sporting a bag of ice
strapped to his leg.

Cardiff City FC (First Team) v Bradford City FC (First Team)
Football League 1
Referee: Woods, Martin
Assistant Referee: Flynn, Daniel
Assistant Referee: Rothwell, Sean
Fourth Official: Copeland, Steven
Pretty sure today was my first live viewing of Martin Woods - a
slight resemblance to Tony Harrington! Thought it was a big game
for him to be appointed to but he justified the selection with a
very good performance.
I liked his style, not blowing for many soft fouls other than
the expected ones (fullback falling over near the corner flag),
and his signals were clear. 8 cautions in total but I didn't
disagree with any of them.
The penalty awarded to Bradford was as clear cut as they come,
and from then on we had the game in the bag. Predictably, we
became a little slow on restarts but just stayed the right side
of the line of a caution in my eyes. 8 minutes were added on so
Cardiff can’t have any complaints in that regard.
My only frustration was AR1 was miles off the pace with the
speed of our counter attacks. And he had a howler in the second
half not spotting a Cardiff offside which was obvious even from
behind the goal.
All in all, hope to see him again, might have to be in the
Championship next season at this rate!

Colchester United FC (First Team) v Bristol Rovers (First Team)
Football League 2
Referee: Byrne, Abigail
Assistant Referee: D'Urso, Daniel
Assistant Referee: Crowhurst, Leigh
Fourth Official: Hutton, David
My first live showing of Abi Byrne after a game on iFollow last
season. I thought she was okay today, a very middle of the road
performance. Generally speaking, I liked her style of letting
the game go and she was one of the better referees i’ve seen of
not fooling for any antics by either team. She was pretty
persistent in making throw in takers stay in position but this
slipped in the second half. The main thing she got wrong was
several incorrect dead balls - a corner awarded as a goal kick
and the same but vice versa. There was also a corner awarded
which seemed to go out clearly for a throw from the other end -
it came from a long ball so no officials were too well placed to
see it.
The only thing I think she got wrong was not giving a second
yellow to Harrison for an identical foul for his first yellow -
both were leaning into an opponent with an elbow to the upper
body, not with violence but with intent to impede the player. To
me, it was pretty clear cut and I suspect had it not been in the
92nd minute, she would’ve send him packing.
I’d be happy to see Abi on another U’s game, but a few things to
improve as well.

No longer. Although, obviously, he was previously living in
Billericay (educated at Westcliff High School) he has long since
departed to West Sussex.

It's quite a frequent event when contributors are critical of
Officials on games they have watched and I've been no different.
However, and despite the repeated bleatings of Mark Hughes,
Richie Watkins was excellent on the Altrincham v Carlisle United
fixture today.
Didn't allow the "big club" to dictate to him. Maybe even a bit
generous in only issuing one RC
If this is his normal performance level I'd be content to see
him at Altrincham again
