Premier League ref Bobby Madley will take charge of Saturday's crunch game. It'll be  the first EFL game he's reffed this season having reffed around 20 Premier Leauge games so far.

Must be the fish and chip supper afterwards that brings him to Grimsby.

Has he been sent down to the basement as punishment for some sort of a ridiculous balls-up in a Prem game?

I do worry that the 'big name' referees tend to be a bit too egotistical.

I just hope he understands that he’s reffing a 4th Division relegation 6 pointer and not leary pampered multi national brands. Tackles may fly in, nerves could be frayed and Home fans may (should) be hostile.

I watched Michael Oliver ref the trophy final between North Ferriby and Wrexham on the TV a couple of years ago and he was excellent, kept the cards in his pocket as he understood the standard and level of both sides.

Give me Bobby Madley over some of the dross we've had officiating this season any day. Once of the best refs in the PL in my opinion.

Hopefully it isn’t because of a feck up he’s made.
Maybe the FA realise that this game could be massive for the future of either club. And for once have got something right!!


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

I know we've had some crap refs in League 2 but I feel there are far fewer threads on here complaining about the officials since we got out of the National League.

I remember when we got Prem referee Mark Halsey to ref our 6-1 win over Barnsley in early 2004 - he gave us two pens and sent off a player each.

We then got him for the Newcastle match in which he famously didn't see Whittle elbow Shearer (or he did see it and chose not to do anything about it).

You normally notice the difference in quality. Teams that scheme (naming no Cheltenhams) usually get hit the hardest and we're not like them in that respect so I think we might feel the benefit.

His last game was Man U's routine 2-0 win v Swansea last Saturday. Don't think there was anything out of the ordinary there (like giving the away team a pen!)
