A Match to remember Chris Barker - Saturday 28 May 2022

[Maroon Blue]

How was Ryan Leonard's refereeing?

Ok, but seemed to wave play on when visitors were flagged offside, 10 seconds later they scored to win 4-3 with virtually last kick of the game.

How was Ryan Leonard's refereeing?

He is a natural at it, and he wore next season away shirt to stand out from the blue and yellow team shirts.

How was Ryan Leonard's refereeing?

He was what I described as a “centre circle ref” barely broke a sweat ?

Good to see so many SZers and take the Mickey out of Brian Dear as well

Don't get him started on his West Ham stories, you could be there all day. His favourite seems to be his record for the quickest five goals in an English professional game. He also used to get players like Bobby Moore and Jimmy Greaves in trouble, not that they needed much tempting to go drinking. He's actually a great bloke and a very entertaining character.

How was Ryan Leonard's refereeing?

He was fine, everything was in good humour - he had two red cards for Bilel but he was on his best behaviour!

I’m pleased to learn he is still going. ShrimperZone F.C. had a lot to thank him for. How was Sturrock on the zoom. Looked well but it was a bit grainy

Met some absolutely incredible people on Saturday. Yeah there were a few hiccups along the way but all in all it went really well I think. It's the first time I've ever been involved in anything like that and it's a very humbling experience.

Could go on all day about it but just a thanks to those that attended or contributed in some way. Richie and his family were very thankful and I think were taken aback by how many people cared and wanted to show respect

Some fantastic and completely missed fishing there. Well done.
