Our last, and only previous, visit to Damson Park was a miserable 2-0 defeat, cards aplenty. Not the players’ finest hour and even less so for our Chairman. Hopefully this one will be better on both counts.

After the naivity of last Saturday’s referee, we have an official with a whole lot more experience and nearly 50 National League games to his name. This Saturday's match will be refereed by Chief Petty Officer Scott Jackson from Bridgwater, Somerset who has served in the Navy for the last 18 years, the last half of which has been in a shore-based job at Plymouth. His role in the Navy is currently that of a Social Worker and he is doing a Masters degree in Ethics at Exeter University.

He is in his fourth season as a National League level referee, with a total of 48 matches refereed producing 150 yellows and 6 reds – pretty average stats. This season’s match was the Wrexham v Eastleigh game with 4 yellows.

This will be his second Southend match having taken charge of our narrow defeat at Torquay last season. Yellows for Ralph, Ogogo and Atkinson (and one of theirs) and I don’t think there were too many complaints.

His only previous match at Solihull was right at the end of last season for their 3-0 home win over Bromley.

Assisting will be Stuart Richardson from Nottingham and Stuart Kane from Saltash, the latter is Cornwall FA’s Referee Workforce Officer, whatever that means.

Fourth Official is Harry Tarrant from Towcester.

I was looking to do a masters degree in Exeter at Ethics University, but I failed the interview. They didn't like my lisp.
 
Nice one Mick :Clap:

Off to see this one, so will feed back over the weekend.
Hopefully a "firm, experienced official" is what we need at this moment in time!

I did mine in Thuthecs.
 
IMO I thought the referee had a pretty good game, managed the players well and drinks breaks built in was necessary on a very hot day.
I'd like to see their goal on tv, it appeared that the striker came from an offside position to receive the ball prior to their goal - but the lino on the left hand side (from our end), swore blind it was good, and based on this, the referee allowed it to stand.
Cue lots of abuse for said lino !
 
I thought it, their goal, offside too.
Generally an easy game for ref as SM are a football passing side unlike BW.
However there were an odd decision or two.
The arm to Clifford's face that bled his nose was ignored? The dive by Dallas that the other lino flagged and reported but ref missed. The sweep tacking down of Powell was a retaliatory foul but no yellow. Near end of game Wreh got past last man Howe and got taken down from behind but no card?
Ref looked like a homer to me. AND certainly, understand his thinking, gave us very very little after the pitch incursion and bottle throwing stupidity, .
 
Just unless It goes by unnoticed, I posted on the general football forum concerning the goings on at Stamford Bridge this afternoon. I'd be interested to hear the views of specialists on here about the sanctions available to referees and if there are ways of avoiding future disgraceful scènes.

If the Premiership referees and their hapless VARs got more decisions right that might help, but I doubt it.

Obviously had the two yellows been reds, the incident at the end would not have happened. Fines, equivalent to small change to these multi-millionaires are not the answer.
Fourth Officials could be more proactive dealing with misbehaving coaching staff. Lengthy stadium bans might help.

Not so sure, think he looks onside from this (blurry) still;
