The Men In Black: It’s That Joker Mr. Beeby Again

The match officials for the game at Vicarage Road on Tuesday night, between Watford and Forest have been announced.

Mr. Richard Beeby from sunny Northamptonshire gets the gig for this one and Forest fans will not want reminding of what happened last time he took charge of a game involving the Reds’.

This will be the second time this season he’s had the pleasure of officiating a game involving us. Last time out, it was the ill fated 2-0 home defeat at the hands of Wily Warnocks’ Crystal Palace.

That game saw the Palace players get away with just about every trick in the book and the joker Beeby bought the lot. He compounded matters by denying us a stonewall penalty as well.

So far this campaign he’s taken charge of 24 games, in which he’s dished out 60 yellow cards and 7 red.

He’ll be ably assisted on the lines by Mr. I. J. Crouch and Mr. J. D. A. Hopkins. The fourth official is Mr. I. J. Cooper.
