Doncaster Rovers v Leyton Orient
Referee: DARREN DRYSDALE
Assistants: Barry Gordon and Alf Greenwood
Fourth Official Keith Lawson
Judging by the weather forecast he'll probably have the job of calling the game off due to a frozen/ snowbound pitch :(

I am definetely mellowing (or the Refs genuinely getting better) and I went for a 3
He kept the Cards in his pocket for as long as possible - Chris Brown probably a beneficiary with the late challenge in front of the Dugouts
He seemed to explain decisions to players and for the benefit of those watching and generally had a good game
Only disappointment was their Number 2's throw ins and with the Ref insisting on him standing still rather than creeping Number 2 got round it by going over the touchline and coming back on 5 yards further on and so getting the same result ! However that was probably my only grouse (apart from 5 minutes extra - I was cold and I wanted the 3 points in the bag and get off home to get warm)

Regarding the throw in`s, since when has taking a throw from the wrong place been regarded as a foul throw and a throw to the opposition, it does n`t happen with free kicks, but it happened to us yesterday, yet was n`t given us back when they constantly took throws from the wrong place
The ref gets a 3 from me
