Match officials for saturday

Scott Mathieson will be the man in charge when Doncaster Rovers entertain West Ham United in their first home championship game of the season on Saturday.

The Cheshire official has taken charge of two games already this season. He was in charge of the opening championship game of the season last Friday night when Hull City entertained Blackpool. In his two games so far, he has shown four yellow cards.

Last season he took charge of 35 games, showing 86 yellow cards (2.45 per game) and 2 reds.

Mathieson twice took charge of Rovers last season. He was in charge of the 2-1 home win against Millwall and the 1-1 draw with Preston.

Despite being on the national list since 1997 this will be the first time he has taken charge of West Ham.

Referee: Scott Mathieson (Cheshire)
Assistants: Paul Davison & Tony Peart
Fourth official: Adrian Holmes

well if fridays game is anything to go by , this one will let a lot go, there were some tackles flying in in the lids game and he let the play flow

Or he will be looking to make a name for himself as we are supposedly one of the big boys.

Or he might think BFS is the Whiskey Nose or the Chumpionship and let us get away with murder plus give us the famous extra five min if we are losing

I dont even want to think about losing to Doncaster with 5 minutes to go
