Quite surprised Madley gets the Stoke v Plymouth game after being taken off the Birmingham City game recently due to him being a fan of Huddersfield. Royalty expected for Middlesbrough v Leeds and Leicester v Southampton. I wonder if Stroud will have his Orange shirt ready and wonder down to the Cottage for board duties on Sunday? #Post#: 78324-------------------------------------------------- Re: Sat 20th – Wed 24th APR 2024 By: TheThingFromLewes Date: April 15, 2024, 1:25 pm --------------------------------------------------------- [quote author=Claretman link=topic=5910.msg78313#msg78313 date=1713195608] Some good games for Bobby Madley in those appointments and a big game for John Busby at the bottom.

[/quote] Doubt it.. Stroud was on the boards at Anfield yesterday. Macho man is due another appearance however! #Post#: 78348-------------------------------------------------- Re: Sat 20th – Wed 24th APR 2024 By: Acme Thunderer Date: April 16, 2024, 3:44 am --------------------------------------------------------- Dean Whitestone is getting plenty of middles in L1/2, but has not refereed a Championship game since Cardiff v Preston on 10th February. This seems strange to me as he has always struck me as one of the better SG2 referees. Any reason I wonder? #Post#: 78383-------------------------------------------------- Re: Sat 20th – Wed 24th APR 2024 By: Hendo Date: April 16, 2024, 3:29 pm --------------------------------------------------------- [quote author=Acme Thunderer link=topic=5910.msg78348#msg78348 date=1713257099] Dean Whitestone is getting plenty of middles in L1/2, but has not refereed a Championship game since Cardiff v Preston on 10th February.

[/quote] I am sure I read somewhere that he picked up an injury towards end of 2023 and missed a few weeks. His gradual return via the lower leagues seems to have gone a bit erratically - maybe still not fully fit - hence his non return to SG2 so far #Post#: 78427-------------------------------------------------- Re: Sat 20th – Wed 24th APR 2024 By: Acme Thunderer Date: April 17, 2024, 10:19 am --------------------------------------------------------- Steve Evans back at Rotherham to annoy Keith Stroud and James Linington. A key game for Birmingham but already too late for Rotherham, but I suspect that won't stop Steve having his say. *****************************************************
