Referee Watch – Darren Drysdale
Barring any late changes, Darren Drysdale of Lincolnshire will be in the middle for Blues’ game against Barnsley at St Andrews on Saturday. Here is a look at his stats.
Season Performance
Mr Drysdale has officiated in seven games so far this season, showing twenty-eight yellow cards and no reds. Of those seven games, two have been in the Championship where he has shown ten yellows. Last season, Mr Drysdale officiated in forty-three games, handing out one hundred cautions and sending off five players. Of those games thirteen were in the Championship and in those matches Mr Drysdale issued 29 yellow cards and two reds.
Last Blues Game Refereed
The last Blues game that Mr Drysdale was in charge of was the 1-0 victory over Portsmouth on February 7 of this year. In that game Mr Drysdale showed just one yellow card, to Benjani Mwaruwari of Portsmouth for unsporting behaviour. In my match report I didn’t mention Mr Drysdale which I take to be a positive.
Last Championship Game Refereed
The last game at this level that was refereed by Mr Drysdale was the match between Watford and Brighton and Hove Albion on Tuesday evening. Mr Drysdale was a controversial figure in the match, booking seven players (Neuton, Daniel Pudil, Marco Cassetti and Nyron Nosworthy of Watford and Ashley Barnes, Liam Bridcutt and Stephen Dobbie of Brighton), and awarding a pen to the away side whilst denying the Hornets two. Mr Drysdale understandably drew some criticism from the Watford Observer whilst the Brighton Argus strangely doesn’t mention him.

Interesting article on David Sullivan ,
which contains this unbelievabley ill judged comment –
‘Now, if the king of Saudi Arabia wants to buy West Ham we would happily step aside for the good of the club. But we wouldn’t step aside for a mystery foreign buyer whose financial resources we have no knowledge of.’
