The Premier League have now announced the Match Day officials that will take charge of the game against West Bromwich Albion this coming Monday.
Newcastle United travel to West Bromwich Albion on Monday December 28 for the game at The Hawthorns and the match carries a 3pm kick off.
Referee: Mike Jones
Linesmen: D Bryan and J Collin
Fourth Official: K Woolmer
Match Day referee Jones (Chester) has officiated two Newcastle games this season – the two nil loss to Swansea in August and the three nil loss to Leicester in November. In those games he showed a total of nine yellow cards and one red, six yellows and one red to Newcastle.
He has however already taken in seventeen other matches so far in 2015-16 and in those games, across all competitions and football divisions, he has handed out a total of 64 yellow cards and one red card.
He was most card happy in the match between Leeds and Sheffield Wednesday on August 22 with a total of six yellows being shown. Six was also the number between Rotherham and Sheffield Wednesday and Crystal Palace and Manchester United in October.
Let`s hope it`s not another repeat and more of our players edge closer to automatic bans.
