GRAHAM SCOTT AT HELM OF BLUNDELL PARK PEDIGREE LINE-UP

PREMIER League referee Graham Scott went down the rungs when he was appointed to last Saturday's League Two match at Blundell Park between Grimsby Town and runaway table leaders Doncaster Rovers.

In its post-match report, the Grimsby Telegraph  awarded him a marking of just five out of ten, but this was surely erroneous - he had an excellent match.

Likewise the rest of the officiating team which included 2010 World Cup final assistant referee, Darren Cann, Sian Massey-Ellis and fourth official, Amy Fearn.

Was this the first time that two women had been part of the  officiating team at Blundell Park?

* Rovers came from behind to win 5-1. 

* * Tonight, Scott and Cann will be reunited for the Premier League match between Leicester City and Sunderland. Andre Marriner will be fourth official.
