  1. Harry Crawford

    Harry has gone on Luton's preseason tour to Portugal on trial with a view to moving there. Luton seem to be making a big push for promotion this year and have signed a number of players, including Scott Rendell and Jon Shaw up front so if he does move there he'll have a lot of competition for a...
  2. Ref Watch ...... Wimbledon

    Today's referee is Roots Hall debutant, Steve Rushton from Stoke (no, I don't know why they send a referee all the way from Stoke on a bank holiday Monday to referee a match between two southern League 2 sides!). In his third season, he has refereed Southend just once before in the high scoring...
  3. Ref Watch ..... Gillingham on TV

    Tonight's match against Gillingham sees 5th year referee, Roger East from Salisbury, in charge. He achieved some success as an Assistant Referee being appointed to the 2004 Cup Final and a couple of playoff finals. Wasn't uniformly popular especially in his Conference days but seems to have...
  4. Ref Watch ...... Barnet

    Tonight'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. He is in his 8th year as a League referee and has refereed Southend on many occasions. The most recent...

    RIP Bert Jansch

    and David Bedford as well. :thumbdown:
  6. Ref Watch .... Orient League Cup

    Tonight's match official is due to be Fred Graham from Orsett. Fred got onto the League list in 2004/5 but was summarily removed after just one season, rather harshly in my opinion. However he stuck at it and fully deserved his reinstatement and has now been back for four full seasons. Has...

  9. Ref Watch ........ Oxford

    Man in charge on Tuesday night is Keith Hill from Hertfordshire. He was the FA's Regional Referees Manager for the East of England. Does that mean he is a top official? I'm afraid not. He has been refereeing since he was fourteen. Promoted to the National List of Assistant referees in 1994 and...
  10. Ref Watch ...... Macclesfield again

    Tomorrow night we have the experienced and normally very decent Mick Russell from St Albans. If I were writing this 18 months ago, I'd be extolling his virtues, but of late things haven't gone quite so well. A steady official, this will be his 10th Southend match and his 6th at Roots Hall...
  11. Ref Watch ..... Lincoln

    For tomorrow's match against a Lincoln side, which will be managed by the son of the late ex-Shrimper Keith Lindsey, the man in the middle is second year Football League referee, Darren Sheldrake from Kingston in Surrey. His refereeing career has progressed quickly making the National List just...
  12. Ref Watch ..... Torquay

    Saturday's referee is Dean Whitestone from Northampton, in his fifth season as a Football League referee, making his seventh visit to Roots Hall. He was here twice last season. Firstly, the Friday night 0-0 draw with Millwall, when he did pretty well in the face of some uncompromising football...
  13. Ref Watch ..... Easter special

    As Southend look to rise from the dead over Easter (well Ron said relegation would be "fatal"), the men in charge are as follows: Saturday Against Yeovil we have Russell Booth from Nottingham making his first visit to the Hall, although he has done 4 away matches. His last match was the...
  14. Ref Watch .... Tranmere

    Man in charge of our vital match on Saturday is Steve Cook from Godalming in Surrey. Although this is his third season, at 24 he remains one of the youngest officials on the list. He has officiated at Roots Hall three times before, most recently the curtain raiser against Huddersfield when he...
  15. Ref Watch ... Franchise Friday

    The man in charge is Darren Deadman who comes from Chatteris, Cambridgeshire, and is a civil servant in Peterborough. In his fifth season as a League referee he is just one feisty match away from 500 yellow cards. He is on 494 - will he go for it tomorrow night ? His red card count is above...
  16. Ref Watch CUP Gillingham (A)

    Saturday's referee, Rob Shoebridge from Ripley, Derbyshire, makes his first visit to Priestfield Stadium in his 4th season as a Football League referee. His career seemed to be developing nicely until last August when he was responsible for one of the worst decisions in the history of...
  17. Ref Watch ..... Gillingham part one

    Been away for a few days. Any news ? Refwatch seems perhaps a little trite at this time but here goes anyway: Tomorrow evening brings Gavin Ward from Oxted to Roots Hall for his fifth visit. This is his third season as a League referee. His first three games went pretty much okay. They were...
  18. Denis Howe

    This is a request for information about an old ex Shrimper, Denis Howe, a defender who played in the mid 50s. I know that after leaving Southend he played for Aldershot (58/9) and Bedford (59 to 61?) but does anyone know what other clubs he played for if any?

    Ex-Shrimpers League Goalscorers Table: # Week 31

    It still aint over yet !! Mark Salter scored another goal in a 2-1 defeat to Bitton ! Will this cause Hooper to choke in the final 7 games allowing the Shrimpers to pip Scunthorpe to the playoff place? Also another goal for on-loan Jason Lee for Corby Town in a 5-0 win at cash-strapped...
  20. Magnum PI

    Barrington Belgrave

    I have been trying to track this man down recently, who slipped off my scouting radar quite early in the season. Have finally found him plying his wares for Blunham in the Bedford Football League Premier Division. He scored on his debut, but sadly even Magnum doesnt stoop this low down the...
