I remember a pre-season game at Bolton being abandoned due to lightning strike. The first time we’d played at the Reebok.

Mansfield away in the cup was abandoned because of fog. Sure it was on sky or maybe even terrestrial

I went to this game goes down in in history as the best away game me and my mates went to. Set of at 10am in an Avesco transit van for I think was a 5.30 pm ko in the cup. Was winning 1.0 think it was Graham Shaw who scored. It was a day of drinking being chased around Mansfield, thrown out pubs and general rowdiness! Game was called off at half time .

I remember Gould was side lined after two defeats on the bounce (Burnley and Wigan) where he conceded 7 goals. Lonners became the first choice until he was injured a couple of months later during training when we were due to play Ipswich in a televised Friday night game.

Gavin Ward started the Ipswich game only to be stretchered off himself. With two injured keepers we signed Nash soon after.

I'm sure Nugent made his home debut and did what he always seemed to do best against Ipswich which was score.

Thought the boy David made his debut off the bench against Leicester and nutmegged Martin Keown.

Thought that todays officials were the best we have had for a long time. Albeit there was little aggro from either side and what bit there was with Brown was dealt with with aplomb. [Must be something that right backs need in their locker?]

Yes the fears that were expressed about todays ref didn't materialise. Had a good game.
 
We won handsomely. A little break then back to normal competitive fixtures. Bring it on. I can't wait. Next home game will be a cracker. BRING A FRIEND and get Deepdale rockin. COYW!!
Ps. On topic. Ref did good today. No complaints there.

I do not understand your point?? I am an old codger so perhaps you can elucidate.

The one ref we have this season who we are so worried that he will be incompetent that we have a thread about him turns out to be the best
 
Very easy game to referee, made a few strange decisions though. The booking of Browne was just the standard reaction of refs to any such situation, book one from each side regardless of who was to blame.
 
The ref had a good game, but the lack of any physicality from both sides made it easy.
He could easily sent both players off in the altercation and the body slam on Browne would be a sending off in rugby.
Nice to see Pearson not get another booking.
