Dale will meet up with referee Dean Mohareb for the first time in league action when he takes charge of Saturday’s League Two fixture with Dagenham.

The Cheshire-based official, who is in his second season on the league list, refereed our JPT tie against Walsall last October and the FA Cup debacle at Bradford a month later, but Saturday will be his debut at a Dale league fixture.

Mr Mohareb refereed mainly in League 1 and League 2 last term, with the Championship fixture between Blackpool and Coventry thrown in for further experience.

He also took charge of Coventry earlier this week as they lost 4-1 at Shrewsbury, while he was the man in the middle for the remarkable Capital One Cup tie between Derby and Scunthorpe in August that finished 5-5!

Bobby Grant scored a penalty in that game and then another in the shoot-out which Scunthorpe won.

Altogether this term Dean he has overseen six games, showing 17 yellow cards, but as yet, no red.

Toffeemanc added 17:41 - Sep 22 Think he was trying to make himself famous today. Absoultely the worst referee I have had the displeasure of witnessing in a very long time. Probably still hiding behind a wall of stewards locked in the changing room for his own safety.
