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. The most recent was our comfortable win at Barnet earlier this season (7 yellows and one of theirs sent off). Before that Wycombe at home last year when he wasn't too bad. Prior to that it was last season when we lost 0-2 to Crewe. He wasn't great; nor were we.
His first visit to Roots Hall however is somewhat more memorable as it was the Boston match when he sent off Darryl and heralded the appearance of Tes the Cat (...... his name is Tes the Cat, he plays for Montserrat).
His cards this season are the wrong side of average with 93 yellows and 6 reds from 27 games. He is probably still smarting from having a sending off at Brighton overturned a couple of weeks ago. Hasn't had a cardless League match for a year and a half.
Assisting will be Carl Fitch, a ginger haired school teacher from Ipswich and Ian Rathbone from the strangely named Semilong in Northamptonshire. Fourth official is Dave Bushell from London.
