Refwatch Preview: Yeovil (h)

Chris Sarginson will take charge of a Dale game for the fifth time when Yeovil visit Spotland on Saturday.

We first saw the Staffordshire official in a 1-1 draw at Lincoln in October 2008 when he sent then-City manager Peter Jackson to the stand for over-zealous protests.

Later in the season at Macclesfield he awarded Dale a dubious penalty from which Tom Kennedy scored to win the game, leading to some fearful earache from the late Keith Alexander as he left the field at half-time.

Chris was the man in the middle for the 3-0 Carling Cup defeat at Sheffield Wednesday in August 2009, while his most recent Dale match was in February 2010 when Bradford sprung a surprise 3-1 win at Spotland to put a temporary halt to our promotion charge.

This season Chris has refereed 15 games, showing 42 yellow cards and two red. His most recent fixture was the League Two encounter between Hereford and Rotherham last Saturday.
