In his 10 years on the circuit I don’t think he’s reffed us before 🤔 Sheffield Wednesday FC (First Team) v Stoke City FC (First Team) Football League Championship Referee: Martin, Stephen Assistant Referee: Dwyer, Mark Assistant Referee: Fitch-Jackson, Carl Fourth Official: Madley, Robert

The 4th official Bobby Madley be a suitable call though

Probably a 4th generation Vale fan knowing our luck..... Gold & Black I gather, guessing he's a South Staffs lad as the Dingles do scoop a lot of the ways and strays up from south of the county town. They prefer the Express & Star to the Sentinel as well 🤣

Never really said anything bad about Stoke, I think he may of been a 4th official in the past? Very surprised he’s been appointed this game and can see it may be changed before Saturday?

Anthony Taylor refs the Manc teams and he’s from Altrincham and allegedly supports them too. Mike Dean with the Scouse teams too. If he isn’t a Stoke or Vale fan then don’t see the issue?

Non ref question
Anyone help please
My daughter is flying to join me at this game, she has to leave immediately after the game to fly back. She will have a small rucksack, haven’t been here before, will she be allowed to take it into the ground?
Thanks

Thanks You're normally allowed to take bags in after a search, you should probably ring SWFC to check first though.

As the person above says, give Sheffield Wednesday a call. Some clubs do and some don’t so best to ask them directly.

Steve Martin reffed the Peterborough v Vale match last night
Can't help but think he's going to proper stiff us over on Saturday! Not that it matters if the refs poor these days any way, we do a good enough job of that ourselves!

Not that it matters if the refs poor these days any way, we do a good enough job of that ourselves! A comment from the refs forum🤔 Reply Posted by MKRef on 10 Apr, 2024 23:39 I know I've read on here before about the postcode rule being abolished years ago. But with the Madley/Allison switch, aren't there some concerns/risks about appointing Stephen Martin to a Stoke game? It's a crucial game at the bottom of the Championship and I always thought his regional FA was Staffordshire. So, couldn't that potentially open a can of worms? I believe this will be his first Stoke league game of as well. I presume something has changed as he's been appointed to a couple of Port Vale games rather recently too. I look forward to being enlightened by those with more wisdom and knowledge on these things.

Steve has always come across as a decent bloke whenever I have met him. We shall see.

You just know that if it has been commented on a ref’s forum, then he’s going to give us fuck all

Thought he was really shit today. Massively swayed by the home crowd.
How he doesn't give the foul on Campbell when their keeper wipes him out I'll never know.
Great actor though.

He needs to stick to cracking jokes and playing the banjo because he's no "referee."

No game changing calls but he reacted to the crowd
The body check no card then a far lesser challenge a few mins later out it comes. The keeper taking Campbell out also
That ball that put Junho free he blew when he saw when Junho picked the ball up after letting a collision go originally
Gave them every 50/50

Literally every time a Wednesday player went to ground he gave a foul. Gave some really soft yellows too. The non foul by the keeper was a ridiculous decision.

The body check also Was clearly deliberate ,stopped an attack 10 yards from their box and only 1 defender covering As clear a yellow as you'll see How the keeper challenge isn't a foul compared to the non existent ones he constantly gave

How was a free kick not given for their keeping completely taking out Campbell off the ball?
I just don’t understand how it isn’t a foul. He completely wiped him out.
