  3. Ref Watch ........ Morecambe H

    Not much to say this week as we have a Roots Hall debutant in his first season. The man in charge of our attempt at a first ever victory over Morecambe is Charles Breakspear from Walton-on-Thames. Although he has not refereed us at all, he has been to Roots Hall as an Assistant or 4th Official...

    I have long given Ron the benefit..

    while many appear to have good reason to dislike and distrust him. Until this week I had no reason to agree with much of the slagging of Ron. I tend to think that every single chairman (bar Frank Walton) was disliked. HOWEVER...any chairman that can go out of his way to ****-up the biggest day...

  6. Ref Watch .... Magic of the Cup Refwatch

    Man in charge of our 1,500th game at Roots Hall is Iain Williamson from Berkshire who is in his 9th season as a League referee. Played non-league for Walton & Hersham until injury forced him into refereeing. We have seen quite a lot of him, this being his fourteenth Southend match in charge...
  7. Ref Watch ......... Exeter home

    Just when we can do without any suspensions, they send Iain Williamson from Berkshire who is in his 9th season as a League referee. Played non-league for Walton & Hersham until injury forced him into refereeing. We have seen quite a lot of him, this being his thirteenth Southend match in...
  8. Ref Watch ...... Rotherham

    Weather and pitch permitting, the man in charge tomorrow evening is Iain Williamson from Berkshire who is in his 8th season as a League referee. Played non-league for Walton & Hersham until injury forced him into refereeing. He did absolutely no games at all the season before last which would...

    Calling All Exiles

    Some of you will already know about the Yahoo Group dedicated to Southend United fans who are in Exile. There are literally Shrimpers all over the World. John Walton organises player sponsorship every year and does an incredible job quite often paying the shortfall. So for the 2012/13 season i...

    Memory Lane Aldershot game off Old News

    Not to make light of the fiasco of yesterday, history tends to repeat itself, the game at Aldershot is certainly proof of this as the following from the 1949-50 season proves: Div.3 (South) Saturday 19th November 1949 Aldershot v Southend United Abandoned. This match is best forgotten, it was...

    Parent Text App: How to text your children...

    I'm intrigued by this for a variety of reasons... I don't have children, but spend all day every day communicating with young people. Texting is a powerful force and so often communication takes place between parents and their children in this way. Indeed, even at 27 often I will text my own...
  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...

    SUFC Exiles

    Good morning everyone, I just wanted to let you know of a group that was set up many moons ago to keep the Southend United Exiles in contact with one another and also the opportunity to do our little bit for the club by sponsoring a player each year. I thought as there are always more and more...
  15. Ref Watch ...... Wycombe (short ref alert)

    On Saturday, weather permitting, we have 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. Okay, not slightly but very officious; picky and pedantic spring to mind too. He is in...
  16. Ref Watch ..... Burton away

    Can't see it happening myself (buying those very cheap advance rail tickets doesn't seem quite so smart now!) but if it does, the man in charge is Iain Williamson from Berkshire who is in his 7th season as a League referee. Played non-league for Walton & Hersham until injury forced him into...

    BARNET in the Cup a Day to remember!

    Barnet tomorrow night but my Dad, Grandad and Uncle drove to Barnet in 1946 and here's the full story of that match, same again tomorrow? Southend United were drawn away in the second round of the F.A.Cup and are due to visit Barnet the holders of the F.A. Amateur Cup. Their ground capacity is...
  18. Ref Watch ...... JPT Barnet away

    On Tuesday evening we have ex-Select Group referee, Keith Stroud from Gillingham in Dorset (not sure why they list him as Hampshire). In his seventh season as a League referee he has risen through the ranks and was employed as a PGMO official for 2 years, although he was given no Premiership...

    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - Dave Smith (2nd ballot)

    Up for election to the SZ Southend United Hall of Fame is manager Dave Smith. Smith came incredibly close last time, missing out by just 0.26%. Will he fare better at his second attempt? Here's what I wrote last time: ---------------------------------------------------- This poll is really a...
  20. Ref Watch ... Stockport

    The referee on Saturday will have been to Roots Hall more often than most of our players. The man in charge is Iain Williamson from Berkshire who is in his 7th season as a League referee. Played non-league for Walton & Hersham until injury forced him into refereeing. He did absolutely no games...
