“This week, though, it took a new twist when James Bell, a referee from Sheffield, was taken off Ipswich Town’s game against Charlton Athletic because the PGMOL could see a possible controversy looming.
Bell is a fan of Sheffield Wednesday, who are involved in a promotion fight with Ipswich in League One. And the internet never forgets.
In May 2021, he showed a yellow card to Ryan Lowe, then Plymouth Argyle’s manager, for angrily disputing a decision on the touchline. Lowe, a former Wednesday player, was critical of him in the Plymouth Herald newspaper and, in the process, mentioned that Bell had told him before the match that he used to sing his name from the stands at Hillsborough.
The article was spotted last week by TWTD, an online message board for Ipswich fans, whose members decided something had to be done about it and started encouraging each other to email the people at the top of the club. Mark Ashton, Ipswich’s chief executive, raised the issue with the relevant authorities. A new referee was appointed and Bell switched to Stevenage’s game against AFC Wimbledon. Ipswich won 6-0.”

Where’s the usual tagline gone? “Cesspit of misinformation” or whatever it was? |  |

I'm not sure the causality implied in the last sentence is entirely justified. |  |

I don't like the inference that Bell was removed from the game and that had a bearing on the 6-0 result. That's shambolic journalism. |  | | |

Indeed, and it was me who made the club aware of the situation ahead of putting our story out. The Athletic has history of similar in relation to their takeover report. |  | | |
