Marc Edwards has been the man in the middle for 1 match involving Lincoln City:
12/10/19: Peterborough United 2-0 Lincoln City (League One) – 5 yellow cards and 1 red card
TOTALS: Matches: 1 — Yellow Cards: 5 — Red Cards: 1
He received an average rating of 6.79 following the 2-0 defeat away at Peterborough United last season. Some of the comments can be found below:
RedImp73: “Extremely competent and unfussed. Took time to get his cards out which helped the game, which he let flow whenever he could. Hard to believe that was his first league one game and will forgive him missing the O’Connor incident as 99% of people there also did.
Rock-solid 8.5/10.”
evenstephen: “For the most part he actually did okay, he might have taken action on the foul on O’Connor but apart from that he was satisfactory. 7/10.”
berksimps: “7/10 Thought he was good, stood no-nonsense or play-acting.
None of us knew at the time why O’Connor had gone down. Like us, the referee will have been watching the ball, which at time of impact was almost stationary some 4 metres away and about to be passed out to the wing.
The incident has to be looked at, appears premeditated and so far away from the ball.”

I have had a look at the figures on two different websites ahead of this match for Marc Edwards and they are both slightly different. I have always used Soccer Base for figures, but I think I will now look into what I can do to replace looking at previous seasons.
