Barnet are the visitors to Spotland this weekend, and with such a prestigious fixture, the Football League have sent a rookie to referee - Oliver Langford from the West Midlands.

We encounter another ‘newbie’ on Saturday – and by that I don’t mean the extremely ugly former bury striker!

Oliver Langford is in his first season as a league referee and will be making his debut at this level at Spotland this weekend.

Last Saturday’s game at Grimsby passed off without major incident for another first year official, Craig Pawson, so hopefully the same will be the case for Mr Langford on Saturday.

Last season Oliver mainly refereed in the Conference, although he was rewarded for his good displays with a tie at Halifax in the first round of the FA Cup.

And that’s it!
