It's a sad day in the world of non-league football with the news that
Britain's most senior referee, 88-year-old Harry Hardy, is set to sound
the full-time whistle on his officiating career after 56 years.
Chelsea's woeful start to the season continued Saturday with a
damaging 2-1 defeat at home to Crystal Palace. A disjointed performance
from start to finish allowed a vibrant Palace side to justifiably take
all three points back to south London.
