Meet The Ref - Latics v Rotherham United

The man charged with ensuring that Saturday’s game against Rotherham United at the DW Stadium is played in a fair manner is Northumberland official, Scott Duncan.



Duncan has been in charge of eight previous Latics games.

The Newcastle born whistle blower kicked off the 2015/16 season with us when we both traveled to the Ricoh Stadium on the first day of the new campaign, unfortunately we lost 2-0 to Coventry and had three players booked, Craig Morgan, Kev McNaughton and Cisco Junior, cheers for that Scott.

He made amends of a sort when we played Gillingham at the DW Stadium in January 2016, coming from two goals down we scored the winner in the 6th minute of stoppage time to take all the points in a dramatic finale, he did book both Max Power and Michael Jacobs, but he also did play on until we scored, so thanks there Scott, meant sincerely this time.

 He was also in charge of our 3-0 demolition of Bury at the DW Stadium in the February of that campaign, though Craig Davies did find his way into the book that day.

 The 2014/15 season saw Scott Duncan in charge of one Latics game, our away defeat to Bolton on the 7th November which signalled the end of Uwe Rosler’s reign as manager, he also had us twice in 2013/14, he was in charge of our trip to the Den back in December when we lost to Millwall, that day he issued two yellow cards Andy Keogh of Millwall and Latics defender Stephen Crainey, he was at the DW Stadium in March for our home win over Watford, booking Martyn Waghorn and three Watford players.

This is Scott Duncan’s seventh season as a Football League ref following his promotion to the National List at the start of the 2012/13 season. Of his 6 games so far this season three have been in the Championship, two in the EFL Cup and one in League 2
