Referee: Thomas Parsons
Assistant Referees: Ross Murphy, David Hutton
Fourth Official: Andrew Miller
Thomas Parsons has overseen four Lincoln City fixtures across the past three seasons, beginning in January 2024 when City were held to a goalless draw at home by Peterborough United. That afternoon passed without major flashpoints, Parsons producing a single yellow card in a relatively controlled contest that ultimately yielded a point.
In November 2024, he was in charge as the Imps travelled to Exeter City, another tight affair that ended 0-0. Parsons issued two cautions but sent off David Perkins and Ryan Woods as the affair turned tasty. Two months later, in January 2025, he took charge of the EFL Trophy tie against Bolton Wanderers at Sincil Bank. That contest proved more decisive, with City edged out 1-0, and Parsons showing one yellow card across the evening.
Most recently, in September 2025, Parsons officiated City’s 3-0 victory at Peterborough United in League One. It was the most emphatic of the four results, with two yellow cards shown. Across all four matches, he has yet to dismiss a City player, and his card count has remained relatively modest.
He’s 39/65 for fouls per game, which is just down on the divisional average. For consistency, you expect a similar place for fouls per tackle and yellow cards, and he doesn’t disappoint – 36/65 for fouls per tackle, and 44/65 for yellow cards, suggesting he does err on the side of caution when pulling out a yellow.
