English referee Darren Drysdale squared up to Ipswich Town's Alan Judge during a heated confrontation last month. English football referee Darren Drysdale has been handed a back-dated suspension for squaring up to Ipswich midfielder Alan Judge in a third-tier match. "I accept that I should not have moved my head towards Alan Judge as this only inflamed the situation." Following the FA's announcement, Judge released his own strongly-worded rebuttal against claims from the referee about what had been said. In a statement on the Ipswich website, Republic of Ireland international Judge said he had never used the C word.
