Sam Allison - Coventry vs Wrexham

Very confused how that was a foul against Wrexham with Rushworth
quite literally running into the Wrexham player head first, but
the Wrexham player was adjudged to have fouled Rushworth?
Unless someone else sees something I haven’t, not the best
decision.

Point proven with the 2 shirt pulls … no booking for Wrexham but
then it is for Coventry

I am honestly shocked by Mr Alison’s performance. So
inconsistent it has been unreal. Clear fouls missed by him and
clear cautions missed too.
He is miles away from the Premier League.

Poor performance from Sam this afternoon. Heavily inconsistent.
Given today’s results, I would be expecting SG1 at Wrexham vs
Boro next week and possibly Hull too (all dependent on
availability of officials). Derby vs Sheffield Utd will need a
good strong official on it too as Derby could still reach the
playoffs as well.
And should Southampton beat Ipswich on Tuesday night, all the
games affecting automatic promotion will need strong officials
on them too.
Be interesting to see the appointments when they come out
(assuming that will be Wednesday after the Southampton vs
Ipswich game)

The appointments will likely be tomorrow, Tuesday latest.
Wednesday is unlikely (unless it’s happened before) as it seems
quite short notice as officials need to sort travel plans,
hospitality, accommodation, etc.
My guess is they will use strong officials on decisive games
regardless of our result as it is all so tight at the top that
anything can happen.
Wrexham vs Middlesbrough will almost certainly get SG1
attendance. Ipswich, Derby, Hull & Millwall will likely get top
SG2 officials, as with the ongoing injuries in SG1 I can’t see 5
SG1 teams in the Championship.
With all relegations confirmed in the Championship, it allows
Blackburn vs Leicester and Sheff Wed vs West Brom to be
officiated by NL officials such as Finnie, Speedie, Reeves,
Parsons etc, as well as some other mid-table clashes.

I just wanted Sam Allison to succeed but he hasn't progressed
has he?
Farai Hallam gets a good wright up in the Sunday Times and he is
a fast track referee who impresses. Apparently the Man City
manager apologised to him after his comments regarding Hallam's
decision to ignore his VAR.

I might be wrong, but I thought that when the final games of the
season come around, the appointing officers like to make certain
that all the permutations on the final day are clear so they
know what official is needed on each game.
I think at the end of the Premier League last season, the final
day appointments weren’t released until the Wednesday morning
since Man City vs Bournemouth and Crystal Palace vs Wolves were
on the Tuesday night.
My thinking for the championship ones this season is as follows
- if Ipswich win on Tuesday against Southampton, then our
promotion is virtually set in stone (but not mathematically
confirmed) so our game against QPR may not need as strong as an
official where any result should see us promoted. However, if we
don’t win on Tuesday then we need a win to secure promotion
which obviously heightens the pressure on the QPR game.
I’m happy to be corrected of course but I feel like normally the
appointments aren’t released until every team is on 45 games.

Very poor and very inconsistent.
