Wow that’s some royalty at Ipswich. Huge game for Gillett there.
That’s quite an appointment for Nield as well in a London
derby..

Reffing Sunday in prem then reffing Tuesday in championship for
Tom Kirk. He could’ve been given a Weds game instead surely?

Jarred Gillett at Portman Road for the first time ever I
believe. Happy to see royalty in a massive game in the
championship. Pleased with Bobby Madley too - proven to be a
safe set of hands over the years.
Debut for Tom Parsons?

As expected, we have royalty at Portman Road. I was expecting
someone less royal than Gillett but the bigger the better for us
in this type of game! I was expecting one of Robinson, Pawson,
Tierney or Bramall but I am more than satisfied that we are in
safe hands with Gillett.
Nice for us to get Madley for the first time since our first
home game vs Southampton.

Yes, his first Ipswich match. There was a previous attempt but
the River Don flooded in Rotherham that day.

Is Jeremy Simpson still refereeing (presuming injured at the
moment if so) or has he transitioned into an internal role?
No OF appointment this season but was listed as a coach or
observer in some sort of competition this season. I remember
seeing it on Social Media from FA Refereeing but can’t remember
what competition.
No Linington either this week.
