Still no Sam Allison in the appointments … thought he was the
next big thing?

I think that ship has well and truly sailed, he’s found closer
to league one than the Premier League now. Probably 10 SG2
officials in front of him now.

On his day Sam Allison is a great referee; the trouble is his
days don't come round often enough. I have some sympathy with
him; at a much lower level the same could ( and indeed was )
said about me. The difference possibly is that I was never
really looking to climb very high up the refereeing ladder.

Unfortunately he was pushed too soon too quickly, he wasn't the
first and he won't be the last. I can say with absolute
confidence he won't be going back to Premier League games, that
ship has sailed, and I really felt for him when I watched the
game live where he got 4 out of 5 KMIs wrong. Not sure I've
ever seen a referee at that level look so short of confidence,
it really was difficult to watch.
Hopefully that was a wake up call to PGMO to not push referees
too quickly.

It is a real shame because two years ago I felt Sam Allison was
one of the better performers in SG2. I believe he was trusted
quite a bit with some of the games that influenced the promotion
race so he was viewed as a very capable referee. Even the games
he did have in the Premier League that season, he got really
positive reports (Bournemouth v Luton and Fulham v Newcastle
were two I think he was praised on here).
I think it’s just been a case of he’s never been able to
recapture that form and some injuries as well meant he was out
of the fold for a while. He’s just simply not got back to the
level of confidence he had in his officiating which is sad to
see because on his day he is a very good referee.

Best referee performance we saw at Dean Court that season was
Sam Allison in the game v Luton - he was excellent.
