Let’s hope we have some football to talk about this weekend, shall we?
After a couple of blank match days, the FA Trophy is back on the agenda, with the Glovers heading to Telford.
Our referee for the game is Mr Aaron Farmer.
He’s refereed half a dozen National League fixtures this season, dishing out 27 yellow cards in those games, averaging 4.5 a game.
He’s been utilised in the EFL, EFL Trophy and FA Cup – as well as a couple of National League Cup ties.
His numbers this season are; 23 games, 91 yellows, seven reds and eight penalties awarded. Don’t mess with this chap!
We’ve seen him twice before at Yeovil games, a 1-0 defeat to York (below) where he gifted Ollie ‘Tap in Merchant’ Pearce a 12-yard tap in after FCD committed a foul in the box and a 2-0 win over Woking where Jack Stretton was sent off for clashing with FCD off the ball in a game that saw Brett ‘anything but a tap in merchant’ McGavin score a wonder goal.
Kevin Morris and Oliver Nolan are on assistant duties with Harry Warner our fourth official.
