    footy last night

    Last night went with some Southend fans to Braintree v Luton , partly to see how the Hatters' 4 ex shrimpers are getting on. It was a great match, with loads of passion + very tough tackling on a bobbly pitch. We witnessed a master class of leading the front line from Paul Benson who won every...
  2. Ref Watch ...... Mansfield H

    Tonight's referee is the shaven-headed 41 year old, Darren Drysdale from Lincolnshire. A sergeant in the RAF, on the human resources side, he began refereeing in 1988, officiating in the Northern Alliance and Northern Premier League, became an assistant referee for the Football League in 1996...

    Southend Council Vs Northampton Council

    So whilst SUFC and Southend Council are negotiating over how much money the football club are going to give the council, Northampton Council are giving NTFC a £12m loan. BBC

  5. Ref Watch ........ JPT Orient (H)

    The referee for tonight's big match will be Andy Woolmer from Northampton. He is a very short referee with even shorter hair and, as shorter officials sometimes do, he has the capacity to be slightly officious. He is in his 9th year as a League referee and has refereed Southend on very many...
  6. Ref Watch ..... Cup replay Brentford

    As we look to improve on a poor recent record at Griffin Park (no win for over 22 years) the man in charge of tomorrow's replay, weather permitting, is the shaven-headed 41 year old, Darren Drysdale from Lincolnshire. A sergeant in the RAF, on the human resources side, he began refereeing in...
  7. Ref Watch ...... Bristol Rovers away

    It is 10 years ago, almost to the day, when we got our last League win at Bristol Rovers with Tes the Cat notching the only goal of the game. Man in charge today is the shaven-headed 41 year old, Darren Drysdale from Lincolnshire. A sergeant in the RAF, he began refereeing in 1988, officiating...
  8. Ref Watch ...... Cheltenham away

    For the fourth time in four weeks, we have been allocated a new, first year referee. This time it is Scott Duncan who makes the long trek from Newcastle to Cheltenham to referee this fixture! His promotion did not come as a surprise and he has done five games so far in this, his first season...
  9. Ref Watch ..... Crewe play off 2nd leg

    Hopefully the penultimate Ref Watch of the season ! Man in charge is the shaven-headed 41 year old, Darren Drysdale from Lincolnshire. A sergeant in the RAF, he began refereeing in 1988, officiating in the Northern Alliance and Northern Premier League, became an assistant referee for the...
  10. Ref Watch ....... Burton

    Tomorrow we have the experienced and normally very decent Mick Russell from St Albans. He is making his first appearance of the season after recovering from a long injury. A steady official, this will be his 11th Southend match and his 5th away from Roots Hall. His first two away matches...
  11. Ref Watch ............... Crewe

    Tomorrow's referee will be Andy Woolmer from Northampton. He is a very short referee with even shorter hair and, as shorter officials sometimes do, he has the capacity to be slightly officious or worse. He is in his 8th year as a League referee and has refereed Southend on very many occasions...

  13. Ref Watch Top officials at Crawley .... or are they ?

    The officials as appointed and still publicised are Lee Probert, with Darren Cann and Peter Kirkup on the lines and Peter Walton as 4th official. Lee Probert is a very decent official but we won't be seeing him as he's doing a Europa Cup game in Cyprus on Thursday. Instead I expect that the...

    Tommy was apparently one of 4 candidates considered for the Braintree job, which went to Alan Devonshire, according to this article: http://www.thisistotalessex.co.uk/sport/Wily-Devonshire-knows-hard-job-ahead-Iron/article-3595065-detail/article.html
