I think his last Town game was the Chesterfield match where we got a late penalty to win the relegation battle in 2017-2018. Good ref

Quoted from Lincoln Mariner 56


Banned for dodgy post taking mick out the disabled I believe but he’s probably had his punishment and is certainly better than most refs we get in L2


Having read his version of events, assuming they are accurate, he got hard done by. It was something along the lines of, he’d been the subject of some friendly píss taking about being overweight and coming last in his son’s school’s sports day parents race.

The sports day the following year he happened to be sat in his car when someone who had a severe walking impediment limped past. He took a short video and sent a private WhatsApp message to a personal contact (another parent, I assume) with a caption along the line of “I think I’ve got a chance this year”.

He subsequently had a falling out with this contact, who shopped him to the FA, who forced him to stand down.

What happened next is a fantastic example of the scary power of the internet. On news breaking of his resignation, someone on social media referred to him as a “dog botherer” - a disparaging reference to his affiliation with Huddersfield Town, the terriers.

Next thing you know, the internet goes into meltdown with breaking ‘news’ that Bobby Madely’s been sacked after a video emerged of him supposedly shàgging a dog. A lot of people were taken in by it, such was the velocity with which the non-story spread and his reputation was in absolute tatters.

Yeah, I get it, it’s not nice to take the micky out if disabled people but I’m not sure he deserved to have his life destroyed in the way it was. Pleased he’s been given a second chance, though he’s gonna be in for some stick...

Dog bothered! Imagine being from Hull then. 1/4 million people labelled as goat fiddlers thanks to one perv. 😆


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

1:20 in. Took some big balls to give that decision so late on in those circumstances. Imagine what might've been if he hadn't?

Was the right call though.

As someone with disability in the family, I found his punishment as way over the top. There’s many in privileged positions get away with far worse.

Great penalty. Rose seemed to knock on in every week at that stage.
