Ref watch

[MobileBlade]

Ok but what’s his name

Oh yeah! Joshua Smith.

 

[YorkBlade]

Oh yeah! Joshua Smith.

His Dad was a referee too and yes it is his first time ever refereeing one of our matches.

 

[1889]

Interesting ref for the Preston game. Only 29 years old - one of the youngest on the list. First season as a Level 2 official having being promoted onto the League only in 2019. I think it is the first time he has ever refereed us.

Good fixture for the lad, no doubt the pinnacle of his career so far, the mighty Sheffield United!

I bet his parents will be there, lets hope he isn’t overawed by the occasion

[ChipButtyBlade]

Except our keeper is called Adam.

 

[MobileBlade]

Did our game at Hull.

 

[Trigger Blade]

Except our keeper is called Adam.

We did have an Andrew Davies a while back, bomb scare centre back from memory, on loan. Always looked to be one tackle away from a red card.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Except our keeper is called Adam.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Did our game at Hull.

Yes we won 3-1.

 

[Balham Blade]

Not sure if Bhupinder Gill has run the line at any of our games before but he and his brother were the first Asian brothers to officiate in the same game:

Asian brothers appointed for EFL game

Sunny and Bhupinder Gill become the first South Asian brothers to be appointed on the same match officiating team for a Championship game.

Me everytime Keith Stroud's name pops up on here:

Sheffield United FC (First Team) v West Bromwich Albion FC (First Team)
Football League Championship
Referee: Doughty, Leigh
Assistant Referee: Greenhalgh, Nick
Assistant Referee: Wilson, James
Fourth Official: Welch, Rebecca

Give a warm welcome to Rebecca Welch who is the first female 4th official to be involved in a EFL game of ours.

 

[MobileBlade]

Leigh Doughty did our game at Nottingham Forest this season.

Rebecca Welch - don't watch a lot of WSL games but did happen to catch Spurs v West Ham a few weeks ago that she refereed. She does like a card for the inoxious challenge.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Huddersfield away say hi to James Linnington there are two omens with him Middlesboro away and Fulham away,which way will it go.

I like him. He's not Keith Stroud.

 

[1973Blade]

I thought he was awful today, missed a number of fouls for us, giving them fouls for the slightest touch.

 

[Bladesman]

I thought he was awful today, missed a number of fouls for us, giving them fouls for the slightest touch.

Surprised he didn't give them a pen.

Barely wanted to book any of their lads though.

 

[Greenwich Blade]

Surely the one who kicked out at Billy deserved a yellow at the very least? He went from being a basketball ref in the first half to a rugby ref in the second. Bit of an odd performance.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Sheffield United FC (First Team) v Hull City (First Team)
Referee: Langford, Oliver
Assistant Referee: Hodskinson, Paul
Assistant Referee: Meredith, Steven
Fourth Official: Bond, Darren

For the Hull City home game we have Oliver Langford he did the game at Blackburn.

What colour card will he bring out.

 

[Champagneblade]

Can't we just have James Linnington every week?

First name on the team sheet!

 

[MobileBlade]

Wait till you see who we have for the Blackburn game......
