f**king hell I recognise that name and that's never a good sign for a referee.

Same old Darren Drysdale. Random foul detection, whistling for nothing challenges while letting worse ones go. Not unusual in failing to detect foul aerial challenges, but their No. 9 might as well have carried a neon sign saying "I am about to commit a foul." Should have got a second yellow for barging into Alcock with no intention of playing the ball.

Got to give him some credit for playing an advantage to Rovers in the middle of the park in an incident that led to the goal.

I always mix up Darren Drysdale and Darren Deadman. Which was the one that gave the out of the box penalty (husband tackle) late in the game at Watford about 3 years ago?

[The Red Baron]

That was Darren Drysdale. Deadman (like Mr Kettle) is another of football's great survivors.
