Meet The Ref – Leyton Orient |
Saturday’s referee is Andy Hall from the West Midlands; he became a football league referee in 1997. Last season he averaged just over 3 yellow cards per game and took charge of two Swansea games – against Nottingham Forest (home) and Stockport (away). I seem to remember that he was a fussy referee that didn’t let the game flow. Let’s hope he’s changed his ways since then. Stats so far this season: 37 Games, 116 Yellows, 10 Reds. Games refereed vs Swansea: Vs Cambridge (home) 97/98 Drew 1-1 Vs Southend (home) 98/99 Won 3-1 Vs Millwall (away – LC) 99/00 Drew 1-1 Vs Lincoln (home) 99/00 Won 2-1 Vs Peterboro’ (away) 00/01 Won 2-0 Vs Brentford (home – FLT) 00/01 Lost 3-2 Vs Scunthorpe (home) 01/02 Drew 2-2 Vs Bristol R (home) 04/05 Won 1-0 Vs Nottm Forest (home) 05/06 Drew 1-1 Vs Stockport (away – FA) 05/06 Lost 2-0 |
