    Ref Watch Ref v Tranmere.

    Interesting to see a Tranmere fans views on the ref... Referee Watch Dean Whitestone (Northamptonshire) - Decent enough game from the man in the middle and his assistants. The penalty for Rovers was the correct decision although the free-kick from which Rovers conceded the late winner was a...

  2. Ref Watch ..... Scunthorpe away

    Our referee on Tuesday should be Kevin Wright from Cambridgeshire. His last Southend appointment was last year's Good Friday game when he was a "no show" through injury. In fact he missed virtually all of last season through injury but seems to be up and running okay this season. This will be...

  3. Ref Watch ..... Stockport County

    After the excesses of Keith Hill last weekend, this Saturday brings an altogether different type of official to the Hall. Man in charge is the (usually) very decent referee Mick Russell from St Albans. He is a very steady official and this will be his 5th Southend match and his third at Roots...

    Goal line Technology??

    In the light of the the Watford v Reading game at the weekend are you for or against goal line Technology?? Surely anything that will lead to fair decisions, help the decision-makers, and stop doubts and controversy has to be a good thing? It works in other sports. Ok, that's not what football...

  5. Latest on Keegan

    Kevin Keegan was last night seen storming out of Tesco's after only being in there for 20 minutes. He left following lengthy talks with the store manager. He has been quoted as saying "I am of the opinion that when you go to shopping you should be allowed to get on with it without constant...

  6. Ref Watch Walsall away

    After the disappointment of Jurnail Singh's performance (albeit not helped by the players), we can look forward to a quick return of one of the referees of the future - the fast-tracked Anthony Taylor from Wythenshawe, Greater Manchester. He is an up and coming referee who is in the newly...

  7. Ref Watch Peterborough

    Referee Dean Whitestone from Northampton starts his third season as a Football League referee with his third visit to Roots Hall. His most recent visit was the 1-0 defeat against Carlisle in which his performance was probably better than the 8 cautions might imply. His other visit was in the...

  8. Ref Watch .... Playoffs

    They have stuck with their policy of giving the first legs to experienced Football League referees and the crucial second legs to the SG referees. For our home game, we have a return visit from Paul Taylor. Possibly his last ever match at this level (unless he gets an extra year after normal...

  9. Ref Watch ... Northampton

    I promised you largely non-intervention refereeing from Grant Hegley on Tuesday and that's pretty much what we got. He didn't get everything right but he let the players get on with it with the minimum of input from him which worked well. Can't promise you the same for Saturday though with...

  10. Ref Watch .... Crewe

    After Danny McD actually came up trumps with a decent performance, we are back to a first year referee (albeit slightly older than most first year referees these days). Man in charge at Gresty Road is Andy Haines from Tyne and Wear. It will be his 22nd League match and the first 21 appear to...

  11. Ref Watch .... Good Friday .. Good Ref ?

    Our referee for the Good Friday lunchtime international match is Kevin Wright. Once again we have a referee who missed the first three quarters of the season through injury and this will be his 5th match of what is his 5th season as a League referee. It will also be his 5th Southend League...

  13. Ref Watch - Forest

    After a very decent performance by Rob Lewis on Saturday, Tuesday night sees Paul Melin refereeing us for the third time this season, the first at home. Nothing to say about Paul Melin, that wasn't said a few weeks back when he officiated in our 4-1 win at Bournemouth. His 4th season as a...

  14. Ref Watch ..... x 2

    After the predicted antics from Danny McDreadful at Orient, what do the next two matches bring in the way of officials? I'm doing these two together as they are in many ways very similar. Both are in their first season as a League referee, both have refereed Southend once before. Both are quite...

  15. Ref Watch - Orient

    Man in charge on Saturday is Army Captain Danny McDermid. Only in his second season and yet to referee either Shrimpers or Orient, he has crammed more controversy into his year and a half than most referees manage in a career. His highlight was being charged by the FA with foul and abusive...

  16. Ref Watch ... Leeds

    Leeds Utd are being blessed with a Select Group referee for nearly all their matches for some reason. This one is no exception with Tuesday's referee being Keith Stroud from Gillingham in Dorset (not sure why they list him as Hampshire). In his fourth season as a League referee he has risen...

  17. Ref watch .. Bournemouth

    After the fun and games with Mr Penton's first red card of the season and the performances of the assistants we move on to a referee who has already shown NINE red cards this season. Paul Melin referees a Bournemouth v Southend match for the second year running. Last year's was the League Cup...

    Today's Officials

    Some of you how know me will know I've reffed at Senior League Level, so when I am off my seat yelling at the officials, there is a problem. And I think this needs a thread of it's own. Sitting in the Lower South, you don't see everything. Offsides are impossible to call and incidents at the...

  19. Any red tomorrow ?

    Our referee tomorrow is Mr Fred Graham from Essex ... a Southend supporter we hope? Mr Graham is now in his fifth season as a referee and has shown yellow twenty-five times in sixteen games, and red just once this season ... Southend have yet to enjoy his company this term. His assistants are...

    My hopes for the Col U game

    I hope Maher smiles sweetly at Duguid at kick off time and shakes his hand. I hope the entire Southend team play the game as cleanly as possible and don't get drawn into trying to mash Duguid into the advertising hoardings. I hope the ref and assistants are aware of Duguids reputation. I hope...
