Ref v Grimsby

Man In The Middle

Saturday's man in the middle is Mr Paul Melin from Surrey.

Mr Melin has so far officiated in 15 games this season, producing 22 yellow cards and no red cards.

He has only ever taken charge of one of Town's games in the past, that being the 0-0 draw at Shrewsbury during the 2005/ 06 Season when he booked on-loan defender Simon Francis.

Mr Melin's assistants are AA Laver and HW Lennard, with GD Scott being the Fourth Official.

If we can't win with a ref from Surrey we will never win!!!

If it helps I can give him a lift to and from the ground and buy him a few drinks too!

All of them - and most away matches as well.

In fact, I have seen the Bees play on 95 different grounds - this does include Wembley, The Millennium and countless non-league grounds for cup ties (friendlies are not counted) in my 55 years of support for the Mighty Reds.

Then you may recall the ref who sent off Lee Thorpe at home to Barnet ! :wave:
 

Ref v Grimsby

At my age I can't even remember what time I got up this morning!

Anyway, if he sent Lee Thorpe off he must be a good bloke!
 

Ref v Grimsby

His name is Mr P Melin, from Surrey.....who has issued 8 red cards this season

The Lee Thorpe one was a good decision...but lets hope he has no cause to issue another red tomorrow !
 

Ref v Grimsby

Another blind **** then

I am really sorry about the duff info.

The quote was taken off the official Grimsby Town site.

Lets hope the Mariners get it all wrong tomorrow, eh!

Why not?, they have to come from somewhere. If he is from surrey he probably supports Man unt! Even people in brentford don't support brentford!

There is the possibility he could have a soft spot for us because we are fairly local or indeed the opposite and maybe likes teh scum? Or likes us but doesn't wanna seem to be bias so goes over the top against us by mistake.

Personally I don't see it makes too much difference as being in Surrey yes he's close but not THAT close really

Give him a tenner too.

Mr Melin used to officiate in the Chiswick & District Sunday League probably this side of the Millenium. He was probably the best referee I have seen at that level. Not sure about his quality at FL level but the Thorpe red card is hardly something that he can be criticised about.

He did of course send another player off that day too, which was perhaps more debatable.
 

Ref v Grimsby

17 posts and not a magic gag in sight. Bad GPG :nono:
 

Ref v Grimsby

I knew I recognised that name. The Thorpe card was ok, but I wouldn't count on getting any decisions our way today because we like to bring people down instead of tackling. I wonder if a certain J Mackie will go in the book.

I am not sure if it still applies, but I believe the guidelines for appointing referees used to be that they don't live within 30 miles of either club.
 

Ref v Grimsby

Some FANTASTIC decisions that deserved a standing ovation :sorted:
 

Ref v Grimsby

I thought he was an absolute HOMER !!!!!!!!

And to think we still couldn't capitalise on it.
 

Ref v Grimsby

Yes, no complaints with him. Missed about three blatant fouls by us.
 

Ref v Grimsby

He got a standing ovation from me. Best referee all season lol
