You realise that so much as one snow flake falls on The Valley tonight and he'll call it off!

    I ran a few lines for our reserves back in the day. Once at The Valley and twice at Welling. I would never have been able to do the first team though (had I gone that far).

    And for the interested, you are asked to declare you allegiance when you join the football league.

    I haven't got that far but would love to. I lined the U19s in their 7-0 defeat of Cambridge last month. I would love to officiate at The Valley in a competitive game. What a dream that would be.

    Shatwell loves a highly charged atmosphere to demonstrate his random attention seeking behaviour.

    Serious question: has any ref/lino ever been stood down from officiating at a pro-game, because of an affiliation with, or a known partisan support for, one or other of the teams?

    I know more about cricket umpiring than football refereeing, and the only cricketing example I can think of is that former Kent captain Mark Benson voluntarily asked the ECB not to be appointed for any KCCC games. But it was his personal request , not a ban from the cricketing authorities.

    Mike Riley gave Manchester United 79 penalties at Old Trafford over the years. ( well it was something like that anyway ;) )

    At least he didn't let us down.

    How that keeper didn't get booked I'll never know.

    Mike Dean was replaced by Alan Wiley for the 2006 FA Cup Final Liverpool v West Ham because Dean was from The Wirral.

    If D'urso got the card out, the keeper would have eaten it anyway. like he obviously had everything else he'd been shown before.

    I thought jackson?? Should have been booked when he nearly cut a bury player in half in front of the away dugout and I don't think they even got a free kick!

    he did lunge in but I think he missed him altogether.

    Thought he had a good game - wasn't over the top with his cards and let the game flow.

    Couldn't be arsed with their time wasting tactics and just stuck 5 mins on at the end of the game.

    I'd tell them I support Palarse, that way you might get an addicks game and you're guaranteed not to be sent to that shit hole of a place.................

    Thought he reffed well - we can't blame him for an average performance!

    I swore blind that their defender tipped a shot from Sols behind, but nobody else seems to have so maybe I owe the Durse an apology.

    Still thought he was poor, I hate to see a ref getting the piss taken out of him by a timewasting keeper. Get the card out early and get it out again if he keeps dicking around.

    Out of interest - who was that ref that twisted his ankle or broke his leg or something and had to be stretchered off? (Bournemouth game was it?) - and was he alright?

    When he fell over his pencil in his sock snapped and he thought he'd broken a bone. He was 100% fine.

    Looked like handball from where I was (north-upper).

    I honestly couldn't tell. If it was handball Bury definitely dodged a bullet there.

    Thought he headed it, should have had a corner minimum anyway

    I thought Morrison passed back to Hamer in the first half and Hamer caught it, but no one protested about a pass back - did I see it wrongly?

    We all thought it was handball . Shot was going wide so no idea why he would handle it

    Completely agree. Several might've been cautioned - not least Hamer for his push on the time-wasting sub - but he was consistent and let the game flow as much as possible, unlike the berk who did the Sheff. Utd. game.
